TY - JOUR AU - Clark, C., Randall AB - Abstract The aqueous solution conformation of a series of isomeric hydroxymethoxybenzamides is evaluated b y reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The structure-retention relationship studies demonstrate the existence of intramolecular hydrogen bond formation when the substituent groups are positioned ortho to the amide side chain. The formation of N-H…O and N-H…O associations produces enhanced reversed-phase retention relative to those substitution patterns that preclude intramolecular associations. The N-H…O association formed in N-ethyl-2-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzamide produces a higher capacity factor than the 3,5-isomers. The 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy isomer has a much higher capacity factor than the 2-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzamide, perhaps because of the position of the unassociated-associated equilibrium or the relative strength of the N-H…O association. The 2-hydroxy-6- methoxybenzamide displays the highest capacity factor, which is likely the result of simultaneous formation of both N-H…O and N-H…O associations. The relative retention of these isomeric benzamides is consistent on several hydrocarbon stationary phases and at elevated temperatures. This content is only available as a PDF.
