title: Comparative study between the polysaccharide-based chiralcel OJ and chiralcel OD CSPSs in chromatographic enantioseparation of imidazole analogues of fluoxetine and miconazole.
abstract: The enantiomeric separation of a series of imidazole analogues of Fluoxetine and Miconazole endowed with potent antifungal activity was performed using cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) (Chiralcel OJ) and cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralcel OD) as chiral stationary phases. Binary mixtures of n-hexane and alcohol as well as pure alcohols (ethanol or 2-propanol) were used as eluents. The enantiomer elution order was monitored by chiroptical detectors based on on-line optical rotation and circular dichroism measurements. For some of the compounds studied very high enantioseparation factor values (alpha > 7) on Chiralcel OJ CSP were observed. In order to study the chiroptical characteristics of the two most biologically active compounds, chromatographic resolutions were carried out on a semipreparative scale. Assignment of the absolute configuration was empirically established by comparing the CD spectra of the separated enantiomers with those obtained from the enantiomers of Miconazole.
