HPLC Chiral Separation of Bromacil on Cyralis CM Column

June 18, 2026

HPLC Method for Analysis of Bromacil on Cyralis CM Column by SIELC Technologies

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Bromacil.

Bromacil is a an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H13BrN2O2. It is used primarily as a pesticide and herbicide commercially. It works through interfering with photosynthesis. On a limited number of crops, it can be used as a selective weed control, but it is mostly nonselective and broad spectrum. It is toxic through oral, dermal, and inhalation routes and is in Toxicity Category IV. You can find detailed UV spectra of Bromacil and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

This application describes a normal-phase chiral HPLC method for the separation of Bromacil enantiomers using SIELC’s Cyralis CM chiral column. Cyralis CM is a cellulose-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) designed for enantiomeric separations, optical purity testing, chiral impurity analysis, and stereoisomer characterization in pharmaceutical, chemical, agrochemical, and fine chemical applications.

Bromacil can be retained and analyzed using the Cyralis CM stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a mobile phase consisting of Hexane and IPA. Detection is performed using UV.

If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Bromacil check our HPLC Applications library

For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The spectra presented here are measured with an acidic mobile phase that has a pH of 3 or lower.

Retention Control of Bromacil on Primesep and Obelisc Mixed-Mode Columns

September 8, 2015

 

Bromacil is in a group of herbicides called substituted uracils. It non-selectively enters plant root systems and interferes with photosynthesis. Bromacil is used to control brush, but not used in cropland or residential areas because it is toxic. Primesep 100 and Obelisc R were used to separate bromacil with different selectivity. Obelisc R contains embedded ionic and hydrophobic groups which can assist in fine tuning separations, while Primesep 100 contains embedded acidic ion-pairing groups. Method is LC/MS compatible and useful for separating many pesticides.

Application Column

Obelisc R

SIELC has developed the Obelisc™ columns, which are mixed-mode and utilize Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC™). These cost-effective columns are the first of their kind to be commercially available and can replace multiple HPLC columns, including reversed-phase (RP), AQ-type reversed-phase, polar-embedded group RP columns, normal-phase, cation-exchange, anion-exchange, ion-exclusion, and HILIC (Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography) columns. By controlling just three orthogonal method parameters - buffer concentration, buffer pH, and organic modifier concentration - users can adjust the column properties with pinpoint precision to separate complex mixtures.

Primesep 100

The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
