Separation of enantiomers by gas chromatography.
The separation of enantiomers by gas chromatography is performed on chiral stationary phases (CSPs) via hydrogen bonding, coordination and inclusion. Thus, typical chiral selectors are amino acid derivatives, terpene-derived metal coordination compounds and modified cyclodextrins. In Chirasil-type stationary phases the chiral selector is anchored to a polysiloxane backbone improving gas chromatographic performance. The present review article describes the state-of-the-art, scope and limitations, applications and mechanistic considerations at the advent of the millennium incorporating 16 figures and 168 references.
