High performance liquid chromatography and gas liquid chromatography have been used for the study of the stability of aminoethylcysteine-ketimine (AECK) in different experimental conditions. Concentration and acidic pH lead to the formation of the dimer of AECK which is very sensitive to temperature and is slowly converted to the corresponding decarboxylated dimer even at room temperature. In the presence of air at neutral and alkaline pH AECK is converted to an unknown compound having spectral characteristics similar to AECK and to other compounds not detectable by HPLC. Under nitrogen at neutral pH AECK is more stable and only undergoes the dimerization reaction to some extent.

D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
