Organic Compound Elution Order Guide

The document lists the expected elution order of different organic classes in chromatography from least polar to most polar as alkanes, alkenes, ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes and ketones, esters, alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids. It also lists common organic solvents from least polar to most polar eluting power as alkanes, toluene, halogenated hydrocarbons, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, alcohols, and acetic acid.

The expected elution order of organic classes.

alkanes alkenes ethers halogenated hydrocarbons aromatic hydrocarbons aldehydes and ketones esters alcohols amines carboxylic acids

increasing polarity (move more slowly)

Eluting power of organic solvents.


alkanes (hexanes, petroleum ether) toluene halogenated hydrocarbons (methylene chloride) diethyl ether ethyl acetate acetone alcohols acetic acid

increasing polarity (more powerful eluters)
