Continuous beds with vancomycin as chiral stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography.
Enantiomeric separations in capillary electrochromatography (CEC) carried out using a continuous-bed chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on the macrocyclic antibiotic, vancomycin, is presented. The continuous beds were prepared from methacryloxypropyl modified fused silica capillaries (100 microm ID) by in situ copolymerization of N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide and piperazine diacrylamide with vinyl sulfonic acid comonomer used to introduce ionic functionality and thus a strong electroosmotic flow (EOF). The CSP was subsequently prepared by immobilizing the vancomycin stationary phase by reductive amination. Preliminary results have indicated that an extremely strong EOF is obtained in both the nonaqueous polar organic (15.2 x 10(-5) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) and the aqueous reversed-phase modes of operation (8.5 x 10(-5) cm2 V(-1) s(-1)). Enantioselectivity was obtained for four racemic compounds, the best of which was in the case of thalidomide which was separated in 10 minutes with high resolution (Rs = 2.5) and efficiency (120,000 plates meter(-1)) values.
