Abstract:
1.Enantioselective properties of several important gas-chromatographic chiral stationary phases were improved using the binary-selector approach. Thus, the enantioselectivity of Chirasil-Val-C11 was combined with that of Chirasil-Dex and Lipodex E, respectively, in the corresponding binary-selector chiral stationary phases (CSPs).
2.An equation for the optimization of enantioseparation on binary-selector CSPs was derived and examined experimentally. Theoretical treatment of the enantioseparation on binary-selector CSPs was performed.
3.A new macromolecular chiral selector (Valdex) containing both a polar valine-diamide group and an apolar beta-cyclodextrin cavity was synthesized and its enantioselective properties in solution towards both polar and apolar analytes were studied by NMR spectroscopy.
4.Several additional examples of temperature-induced inversion of elution order of enantiomers on two important CSPs, Chirasil-Val-C11 and Chirasil-Dex, were discovered and thoroughly investigated.
5.Using the approximation function, enantiomerization parameters of 1,2-di-tert-butylpyrazolidine were identified.
6.The dramatic influence of a small enantiomeric impurity of highly enantioselective chiral selectors on the enantioseparation factor was confirmed experimentally. Enantioselective liquid chromatography on quinine and quinidine derivatives used as chiral selectors was employed for the investigation.
7.A method for the evaluation of nonenantioselective versus enantioselective interactions in liquid chromatography was derived.
8.Enantioselective gas-chromatography was proposed and successfully applied as a method for the differentiation between racemic compounds and conglomerates.
