(a) What are the characteristics of an ideal carrier gas?
(b) Why do and He allow more rapid linear velocities in gas chromatography than does, without loss of column efficiency (Figure 24-11)?
The antitumor drug gimatecan is available as nearly pure (S)-enantiomer. Neither pure (R)-enantiomer nor a racemic (equal) mixture of the two enantiomers is available. To measure small quantities of (R)-enantiomer in nearly pure (S)-gimatecan, a preparation was subjected to normal-phase chromatography on each of the enantiomers of a commercial, chiral stationary phase designated (S,S)- and (R,R)-DACH-DNB. Chromatography on the (R,R)-stationary phase gave a slightly asymmetric peak at tr 5 6.10 min with retention factor k 5 1.22. Chromatography on the (S,S)- stationary phase gave a slightly asymmetric peak at tr 5 6.96 min with k 5 1.50. With the (S,S) stationary phase, a small peak with 0.03% of the area of the main peak was observed at 6.10 min.

Chromatography of gimatecan on each enantiomer of a chiral stationary phase. Lower traces have enlarged vertical scale. [Data from E. Badaloni, W. Cabri, A. Ciogli, R. Deias, F. Gasparrini, F.

(a) Explain the appearance of the upper chromatograms. Dashed lines are position markers, not part of the chromatogram. What Problems 709 would the chromatogram of pure (R)-gimatecan look like on the same two stationary phases?
(b) Explain the appearance of the two lower chromatograms and why it can be concluded that the gimatecan contained 0.03% of the (R)-enantiomer. Why is the (R)-enantiomer not observed with the (R,R)-stationary phase?
(c) Find the relative retention (a) for the two enantiomers on the (S,S)-stationary phase.
(d) The column provides N 5 6 800 plates. What would be the resolution between the two equal peaks in a racemic (equal) mixture of (R)- and (S)-gimatecan? If the peaks were symmetric, does this resolution provide baseline separation in which signal returns to baseline before the next peak begins?
Explain what is displayed in a reconstructed total ion chromatogram, in selected ion monitoring, and in selected reaction monitoring. Which technique is most selective and which is least selective and why?
Genotoxic compounds damage DNA and cause mutations or cancer.Regulatory guidelines limit genotoxic impurities in pharmaceuticals. Mesityl oxide (4-methyl- 3-penten-2-one) is an intermediate product in the synthesis of some drugs.
