P. Billian et al., Isolation of n-Decyl-alpha(1 -> 6) isomaltoside from a technical APG mixture and its identification by the parallel use of LC-MS and NMR spectroscopy, ANALYT CHEM, 72(20), 2000, pp. 4973-4978
The identification of n-decyl alpha(1-6)isomaltoside as a main component of
technical alkyl polyglucoside (APG) mixtures by the parallel use of liquid
chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (N
MR) spectroscopy is described. Following enrichment on a styrene-divinylben
zene-based solid-phase extraction material, unknown components were separat
ed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography(LC). Chemical characterization w
as achieved by both mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. It is demonstra
ted that the combination of LC-MS with various NMR techniques is very suita
ble for stereochemical assignment of unknown components in technical APG mi
xtures.
