“…As for analytical chiral separations surveyed between 1960 and 2000, enantioselective GC preceded the routine use but was then surpassed by enantioselective LC and enantioselective electromigration methods [228]. A survey of the analytical methods used in the determination of enantiomeric composition required by the journal Tetrahedron Asymmetry for 1995 (322 entries), 1999 (357 entries), and 2002 (290 entries) gave the following data: HPLC (118,146,129), NMR (104,79,60), chiral GC (66,85,66), polarimetry (35,30,24), and others (35,30,24) [229]. Today, analytical enantioselective GC is undoubtedly of widespread use as judged from the availability of commercial capillary columns containing chiral stationary phases by all leading suppliers of gas chromatographic items.…”
