Solid Phase Derivatizations in HPLC: Polymeric Permanganate Oxidations of Alcohols and Aldehydes in HPLC-SPR

Abstract
On-line or off-line oxidations of various alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones can now be performed in conjunction with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), utilizing a newly developed polymeric permanganate solid phase reactor (SPR). These derivatization reactions are compatible with most reversed phase and normal phase solvents for HPLC separations, and many of these oxidations can be accomplished in real-time, on-line, at or above room temperature. Such HPLC-SPR approaches for chemical modifications and derivatizations of various oxidizable analytes provide a useful and quite practical newer approach for the HPLC-ultraviolet (UV) detection of appropriate analyte species. Difference chromatography, often with improved UV detection, can be used to confirm the suspected presence of a particular oxidizable analyte in a complex sample matrix. All of these solid phase derivatizations utilize conventional, commercially available HPLC instruments and accessories. These HPLC-SPR oxidation methods for chemical derivatization have also been applied to certain real world samples, in order to demonstrate the overall value and applicability of such analytical approaches.
