If you want to prepare a sorbent with the structure like Phenyl- or Octyl
Sepharose then mix cross-linked Sepharose with glycidyl propyl ether in
anhydrous dioxane, and add few drops of boron trifluoride. The reaction is fast
and almost quantitative. I am afraid that you must synthesize the ether by
yourself from epichlorohydrine and propanol.
If you bind propylamine onto any activated matrix, you will get a sorbent that
is unstable and/or also able to bind some proteins by other interactions than
hydrophobic.
