Abstract. In order to determine the gas chromatografic retention indices for 2-phenyl-2-alkylacetonitriles on packed columns, a number of 2-phenyl-2-alkylacetonitriles were synthesized using the reaction of C-alkylation of phenylacetonitrile. The products were characterized by their boiling points, refractive indices, IR and NMR spectra. The gas chromatografic retention indices (I) for the synthesized nitriles were determined on packed columns (OV-17, OV-210 and OV-225) isothermally at 160, 180 and 200 oC. The isothermal data obtained on these columns were compared and a comparison of the retention index values, DELTA I and dI/dT is presented. The best resolution of the investigated compounds was obtained using an OV-225 packed column.

2-FENIL-2-ALKILACETONITRILA
NA PAKOVANIM KOLONAMA
2-Fenil-2-acetonitrili su sintetizovani koristeći reakciju C-alkilovanja fenilacetonitrila i okarakterisani temperaturama ključanja, indeksima refrakcije, infracrvenim i NMR spektrima u cilju određivanja gasno hromatografskih retencionih indeksa. Gasno hromatografski retencioni indeksi su određeni na pakovanim kolonama (OV-17, OV-210 i OV-225) izotermno na 160, 180 i 200 oC, izračunate su DELTA I i dI/dT vrednosti.
