Direct enantiomeric separation of flavanones by high performance liquid chromatography using various chiral stationary phases.
The performance of four chiral liquid chromatographic columns (Chiralcel OA, OJ, OC, OD) was studied with respect to the enantioseparation of flavanones and some derivatives. The effect of mobile phase composition on the retention time and stereo-selectivity was studied. A good enantioseparation (alpha up to 1.45) was achieved for most of the racemates. Further, the elution order of the enantiomers from the chiral stationary phases has been determined by using a circular dichroism based detection system.
