Separation of 1-Phenyl-2-Propanol and 2-Phenyl-1,2-Propanediol
In this Method, Separation is obtained between two structurally similar Organic Alcohols. The Method illustrates the type of Retention and Selectivity that can be obtained for these kinds of compounds. Furthermore, the Mobile Phase Solvents are simple to prepare and LCMS compatible.
The overlay of the 5 Figures demonstrates how the Method is Precise and Reliable when the Column is changed with lot-to-lot, which is a critical feature. RSD values of 0.5% and 0.3% were obtained for the two Peaks between the 5 lots.
