One of the problems encountered in CE separations of basic compounds is the adsorption of analytes onto the negatively charged capillary wall which could lead to poor repeatability of migration time and peak area. Additionally, separation of enantiomers of chiral of basic drugs is commonly carried out in low pH buffer which contributes to strong ionic interaction of the cationic drug ions with ...

In this study an attempt has been made to explain the reasons for changing the enantioseparation selectivity in some dual cyclodextrin (CD) systems compared to the use of single chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis (CE). An explanation for selectivity changes is proposed based on the effect of the chiral selector on the mobility of the analyte. In order to support the proposed mechanis...

The preparation of cinchonidine (CCND) nanocrystals and their immobilization onto the inner surface of a fused silica capillary was investigated for use in the enantioseparation by capillary electrochromatography. The CCND nanocrystals were prepared by an emulsion method that utilizes crystal growth in an oil-in-water emulsion without a stabilizer. As a result, white-colored aqueous dispersio...

A non-aqueous capillary electrophoretic method developed with quinine and tert.-butyl carbamoylated quinine as chiral selectors for the enantioseparation of N-protected amino acids was applied to the investigation of other quinine derivatives as chiral additives. The optimum composition of the background electrolyte was found to be 12.5 mM ammonia, 100 mM octanoic acid and 10 mM chiral selector...

The separation of racemic molecules is of crucial significance not only for fundamental research but also for technical application. Enantiomers remain challenging to be separated owing to their identical physical and chemical properties in achiral environments. Chromatographic techniques employing chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been developed as powerful tools for the chiral analysis and...

Enantiopure O-phenyl ethylphosphonothioic acid (1) was easily obtained by the enantioseparation of racemic 1, which was prepared from commercially available phosphorothioic trichloride through four steps. Enantiopure 1 was found to show an excellent chiral recognition ability for various 1-arylethylamine derivatives during the diastereomeric salt formation. Especially, enantiopure 1 could recog...

Separation of the enantiomers of linezolid has been compared on derivatized cellulose and amylose chiral stationary phases (Chiracel OD and Chiralpak AD) with mixtures of hexane with 1-propanol, 2-propanol, or ethanol as mobile phases. It was found that use of a small amount of water as mobile phase additive can improve or prevent enantioseparation, depending on the column. The order of elution...

The enantiomeric resolution of the fungicides uniconazole and diniconazole was performed using electrokinetic chromatography with cyclodextrins as pseudostationary phase (CD-EKC). A systematic evaluation of several chiral selectors was made. The anionic derivative carboxymethylated-gamma-cyclodextrin (CM-gamma-CD) was found to be the most appropriate for the enantioseparation of fungicides amon...

Enantiodiscrimination and enantioseparation are two highly important processes in chemistry, often performed by using NMR spectroscopy and chromatography. For a better understanding of the mechanistic details, the same system should be studied by both methods. In addition, isotropic and anisotropic NMR parameters should be obtained, the latter using alignment media so that residual dipolar coup...

A direct semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enantioseparation of ofloxacin was performed on chemically immobilized cyclodextrin derivative-mono (6A-azido-6A-deoxy)-per(p-chlorophenyl carbamoylated) β-CD chiral stationary phase. Conditions for semi-preparative separations were established using a 250 × 4.6 mm i.d. column and subsequently extended to a 250 × 10.0 mm i....
