Flash chromatography with real-time UV detection and fractionation is the primary tool of chemists for isolating synthetic compounds. However, many commonly used flash chromatography solvents (ethyl a...
If you synthesize organic compounds you likely have encountered situations where traditional silica or even reversed-phase chromatography just does not get the job done. Co-elution, peak tailing, yiel...
Macrocyclization of peptides has arisen as a new strategy to create proteolytically stable, membrane permeable drug candidates while maintaining target specificity. To perform this cyclization, lactam...
For chemists trying to purify polar compound mixtures, optimizing the chromatography can be very challenging. When hexane (or heptane) with ethyl acetate and a silica column fails to effectively purif...
Virtually all automated flash chromatography systems today contain a diode-array UV or UV-vis detector (DAD). This type of UV detector offers multiple benefits over monochromatic UV detectors includin...
Polar reaction mixtures can be a real challenge to purify with flash chromatography. Traditional normal-phase flash requires toxic dichloromethane (DCM) or chloroform with methanol for these types of ...
Silica flash columns are the most frequently used to purify reaction mixtures. Prepacked columns are available from a vast number of vendors as is the silica itself for those wishing to pack their own...
In synthetic organic chemistry, post-reaction work-up using solvent extraction is almost routine. Solvent-solvent extractions using immiscible solvents can remove impurities from the product prior to ...
Flash chromatography is a purification technique that, by its name, is designed to be fast. Faster than open column chromatography and faster than prep HPLC. Flash chromatography is faster due to the ...
An interesting question for synthesis chemists as the need for reversed-phase flash chromatography for both intermediates and final compounds increases. Historically, normal-phase flash chromatography...
