Gas chromatography of homologous esters: XXVII. Retention increments of C 1–C 18 primary alkanols and their 2-chloropropanoyl and 3-chloropropanoyl derivatives on SE-30 and OV-351 capillary columns

Abstract

The retention behaviour of primary C 1–C 18 n-alkanols and their propanoyl, 2-chloropropanoyl and 3-chloropropanoyl derivatives was examined isothermally on SE-30 and OV-351 capillary columns. Retention increments showing the effect of methylene substitution in the alkyl chains and of monochloro substitution in the acyl chains are presented. The considerable enhancement of terminal chlorine substitution is discussed.
