  • Basic compounds
    ①4-Methylpyridine and
    ②Lidocaine tail on both silica gel TLC and column, resulting in a poor separation.
  • An excellent separation is achieved with the use of amino-bonded silica gel on both TLC and column chromatography, without tailing

  • 【Note】If a sample such as an aldehyde having an α-proton is run on an amino-bonded silica column, a Schiff base between sample and amino-bonded silica gel will be formed, and the sample will never be eluted. Acetone cannot be used either as mobile phase or washing solvent.

  • Compound spots on silica gel TLC will not streak if 5% triethylamine is added to the solvent. However, it will not solve the tailing problem for column chromatography and results in a poor separation.
  • It is difficult to determine how much triethylamine should be added to the mobile phase to achieve a good separation in column chromatography.

  • It is not necessary to add buffer (a base) to mobile phase to run a basic compound using Yamazen Amino Column, which does not require time-consuming and cumbersome work, such as preparation of solvent, mobile phase change, flushing the buffer (base) out of the system line, etc. Basic compounds can be separated most efficiently using Yamazen Amino Column.
