title: Chromatographic separation of enantiomers.
abstract: In this paper a review is presented on the chromatographic analysis of enantiomers with special attention to high pressure liquid chromatography. Also, some examples of resolution of racemates by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography are given. The various procedures in the surveyed literature have been divided into three main classes: procedures with formation of diastereomeric compounds prior to the chromatographic separation, procedures in which a chiral mobile phase is used, and procedures with the use of a chiral stationary phase. These methods are subdivided and some examples of their application to drugs and related compounds are presented.
