Compound: Tetraethylammonium

Separation of Quaternary Amines

Application Notes:

Primesep C separates a mixture of quaternary amines by a combination of cation exchange, complex formation, and hydrophic interactions. Methyltriethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, and tetramethylammonium cations as well as bromide counter ion are separated on a short 50 mm column. The separation uses a mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and triethylamine acetate with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD).

Application Columns:

Primesep^® C is a mixed-mode HPLC column with reversed-phase, ion-exchange and host-guest complex formation properties. The Primesep C stationary phase combines a hydrophobic chain and an acidic functional group as a cation exchanger. Acids, bases, and neutrals can be retained and separated by Primesep 100 columns. Primesep C retains hydrophobic compounds by a reversed phase. Strongly polar and basic compounds such as quaternary amines are retained without the use of ion-pairing reagent by reversed phase and ion exchange. An unusual elution order compared to other HPLC columns is found for primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Methods can be developed on Primesep columns that are fully compatible with detectors such as UV, RI, conductivity, fluorescence, evaporative light scattering (ELSD) as well as mass spectrometers (LC/MS) and preparative chromatography (prep HPLC) systems.
