Gas Chromatograph

 

John Zimmer (front) and Turner Vosseller work on their research using the GC.

 The Hewlett Packard 6890 Gas Chromatograph (GC) is

equipped with a chiral column to aid in the separation of

enantiomers. The students in the inorganic laboratory course

use it to determine the enantiomeric excesses of epoxide

samples prepared by the Jacobsen manganese-salen

epoxidation system. Students in the France group use the

GC to analyze the products from their asymmetric

cyclopropanation reactions.
