title: Brush-type chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation of acidic compounds. Optimization of chiral capillary electrochromatographic parameters.
abstract: The capillary electrochromatographic separations of three acidic enantiomers (carprofen, coumachlor and warfarin) were studied on a capillary column packed with 5 microm (3R,4S)-Whelk-O 1 chiral stationary phase. The influence of several experimental parameters (mobile phase pH, type of background electrolyte, acetonitrile ratio, temperature, applied voltage and ionic strength) on electroosmotic flow velocity, retention factor, selectivity factor, efficiency, resolution and effectiveness of chiral separation was evaluated. It was notable that the optimum resolution of the acidic enantiomers was achieved at pH 3.0 phosphate buffer, suggesting that capillary electrochromatography in the ion-suppressed mode can be applied for chiral separations of a range of acidic compounds.
