HPLC Separation of Aminopyridines Isomers in Hydrogen-Bonding mode on a SHARC 1 HPLC Column

Chromatogram

Description

Application Notes: Pyridines and aminopyridines are hydrophilic basic compounds. Traditionally these compounds have been separated and analyzed by GC and HPLC. In the case of HPLC, reversed-phase chromatography with ion-pairing reagent is used along with alternative modes like HILIC for separation. Mixed-mode chromatography can also be used to successfully separate isomers of substituted pyridines. However, we developed a new mode of separation for these compounds with hydrogen bonding. Isomers of aminopyridine are separated based on hydrogen bonding interaction between analyte and stationary phase. Mobile phase utilizes combination of acetonitrile and methanol with additives. Retention time and selectivity are  sensitive to variations of mobile phase.  The order of elution changes depending on the amount of acetonitrile, methanol, formic acid and ammonium formate. This method and approach is compatible with  LC/MS and prep chromatography and can be used for separation of other pyridine based compounds and pyridine based isomers.
