    Abstract:
    Retention of a model set of sulfonylurea compounds has been studied under RP-LC conditions, considering competitional effects brought by different alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-octanol) used as additives in the organic component of the mobile phase (methanol). The capacity factors determined for the model compounds decreased with the increase of the hydrophobic character of the organic additive in the mobile phase. The amount of the additive within the organic component of the mobile phase was kept constant (1% as volumetric ratio). Retention was studied at different mobile phase compositions (aqueous to organic component ratios). Different functional fitting models were used to correlate retention to the content of the organic component in the mobile phase. Extrapolation of retention expressed as capacity factor to a mobile phase composition free of organic component is well correlated to the hydrophobic characteristics of the organic additives. The adsorption model was used for tuning the experimental find-outs. The possibility of controlling retention through the competitive effects induced by hydrophobic additives in the mobile phase is highlighted.
