Summary
This article overviews a study of the eluting properties of greener solvent systems as a replacement for dichloromethane in chromatography and chromatographic purification. A library of "drug-like" compounds was used to determine the efficacy and potential application of the greener solvent systems for purification. In particular, various mixtures of 3:1 EtOAc:EtOH in hexanes were found to have wide applicability for acidic, basic and neutral analytes. More details are available in the linked article.
