The isolation of pure organic compounds from biological sources, reaction media, or other complex molecular matrixes is the first step to overcome before further biological and chemical investigations. While the isolation of chemicals soluble in organic solvents is commonly accomplished, the isolation of water-soluble organic compounds is less often addressed. We present here a simple method for the isolation of water-soluble organic compounds, using adsorptive macroporous resins and reversed-phase chromatography.
