New cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis.
The separation of three pairs of enantiomeric herbicides has been successfully achieved by capillary electrophoresis at two different pH values in the presence of cyclodextrin derivatives previously synthesized in our laboratory. Two of these derivatives constitute a new class of receptor, the hemispherodextrins, in which a trehalose capping moiety is bonded to beta-cyclodextrin. Because of their peculiar structure hemispherodextrins have very promising characteristics and the low receptor concentration required to achieve separation deserves particular interest.
