Fu, Zhengsheng; Sun, Liping; Cai, Jun; Wang, Xiaoxiong; Wang, Xiaofeng; Zheng, Shangzhen; Shen, Xuwei published an article in Journal of Chromatographic Science. The title of the article was 《Paper chromatographic separation of racemic diphenylmethyl alcohols using only pure water surfactant micellar mobile phase and host-guest chromatography》.Computed Properties of C13H11ClO The author mentioned the following in the article:
This paper reports the separation of nine pairs of racemic diphenylmethyl alcs. with paper chromatog. using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide pure H2O micellar solution as the mobile phase. The resulting resolution is excellent. The authors use a novel theory, host-guest chromatog., to describe the main driving force of chromatog. on micellar paper and to discuss the retention behavior. The mechanism of micellar paper chromatog. conforms to the Armstrong equation. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of (3-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol(cas: 63012-03-3Computed Properties of C13H11ClO)
(3-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol(cas: 63012-03-3) belongs to hydroxy-containing compounds. Hydroxy-containing compounds engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding increasing the electrostatic attraction between molecules and thus to higher boiling and melting points than found for compounds that lack this functional group.Computed Properties of C13H11ClO Organic compounds, which are often poorly soluble in water, become water-soluble when they contain two or more hydroxy groups, as illustrated by sugars and amino acid.
