Analysis was performed on an HPLC
Agilent 1100 LC system (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA, USA) consisting of a degasser, binary pump, autosampler, thermostatted column compartment, and multi-wavelength detector. The amido column used here was a core-shell particle column with amide polyol and TMS end-capping (2.6 µm particles, 150 × 2.1 mm, bioZen Glycan, Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA). The amino column was a 3-aminopropyl silica SilaSpher Amine (5 µm, 12 nm pore, 100 × 3 mm, Silicycle, QC, Canada). The detection wavelength was 230 nm, and the separation temperature was 25 • C. The mobile phase was 50 (amino column) or 25 mmol/L (amido column) phosphate buffer, pH 4.25 (NaH 2 PO 4 •2H 2 O titrated by H 3 PO 4 ), at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min.
A phenylboronate-modified amino column (using the SilaSpher Amine) was prepared using a Ugi four-component reaction [19] (
link) based on a "one-pot" reaction of an equimolar mixture of primary amine (3-aminopropyl silica), aldehyde (
benzaldehyde, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), isocyanide (
tert-butyl isocyanide, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and carboxylic acid (
4-carboxyphenylboronic acid, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in
methanol (Penta, Praha, Czech Republic).
