Enantioseparation of 1,1 0 -bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) was performed on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP), Chiralpak IA, in the normalphase mode. The effects of polar modifier in the mobile phase and column temperature on retention, enantioseparation, and elution order were investigated. An interesting reversal of elution order for BINOL was observed. When ethanol was used as a polar modifier, R-BINOL was eluted first with marginal enantioseparation. Excellent enantioseparation was obtained when ethanol was replaced by 1-propanol, and S-BINOL was eluted first, this effect being retained with 2-butanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol or 1-hexanol as the modifier. When isoamyl alcohol was used, reversal of elution order was again observed, i.e., R-BINOL eluted first with marginal enantioseparation, similar to the case of ethanol. When cyclohexanol and cyclopentanol were used, R-BINOL was still eluted first, but enantioseparation was as good as with 1-propanol as the modifier. This is the first report of large enantioseparation obtained in both elution orders for a given selector/selectant system. A retention model based on stoichiometric displacement theory for retention (SDT-R) was investigated to fit the chromatographic data. The reason for solvent-induced reversal of elution order was elucidated based on a derivation of the retention model. Reversal of elution order for BINOL induced by the content of isoamyl alcohol was also predicted based on the model and confirmed by experiment.
A composite chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from bovine serum albumin (BSA) and β-cyclodextrin (CD)-bonded silica was prepared. 2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine was used as a cross-linker. The obtained CSP was applied to the enantioseparation of tryptophan, hydrobenzoin, phenylalanine and mandelic acid. The influences of eluent pH value, organic modifier and column temperature on the retention and enantioseparation were discussed. Tryptophan and hydrobenzoin achieved excellent resolution on the composite CSP. For tryptophan, the highest selectivity, 2.79, was achieved with 1% of methanol at pH 8.0. For hydrobenzoin, the selectivity could reach 1.42. The chromatographic results were compared with that on β-CD-bonded or BSA-immobilized CSP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
