title: Enantiomeric separations by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: This paper reviews the recent advances in enantioseparations by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) and the effect of organic solvents on mobility of enantiomers, separation selectivity and resolution. In general, the enantioseparation systems in NACE are similar to those of aqueous capillary electrophoresis (CE) except pure organic solvents are used. The influence of important parameters such as concentration and type of chiral selectors, apparent pH, ionic strength, temperature, and control of electroosmotic flow is discussed. In addition, the reported applications of NACE separations of racemates are presented.
