“…The separation of enantiomers in an analytical and preparative scale is undoubtedly a matter of crucial importance in diverse research areas [ 1 ]. Liquid chromatography (LC) using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) proved to be the most versatile and useful approach for the evaluation of enantiomeric purity in quality control [ 2 , 3 ], the preparative enantioresolution process [ 4 , 5 ], monitoring enantiomeric reactions [ 6 , 7 ], food analysis [ 8 , 9 ], the stereochemistry determination of natural compounds [ 10 , 11 ], pharmacokinetic [ 12 ] and environmental studies [ 13 , 14 ], among other applications. Over the years, several types of CSPs have been developed which comprise polysaccharide derivatives, Pirkle-type, cyclodextrins, crown-ether, proteins, macrocyclic antibiotics, ion-exchange, cyclofructans, synthetic polymers and molecularly imprinted CSPs [ 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”
