enol and keto two peaks in HPLC measurement?
« on: May 26, 2010, 07:02:45 AM »
do enol and keto forms of a same compound show two peaks in the HPLC measurement??? or only one???

In several paper they described they do have two at very low temperature (-60C)
some of them did the detection by UV spectrophotometer instead of HPLC

Could anyone give some hints>??

I used to perform a method where the analyte exhibited Keto-Enol Tautomerism, there was one analyte peak but the peak response was highly variable until the tautomerism reached equilibrium
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
