C11-Chirasil-Dex as chiral stationary phase in GC: enantioselective separation of cyclopropane derivatives.
Chirasil-beta-Dex containing an undecamethylene spacer (C11-Chirasil-Dex) was used as chiral stationary phase (CSP) in enantioselective gas chromatography (GC). The versatility of the new stationary phase in the simultaneous enantiomeric separation of a set of cyclopropane derivatives is demonstrated. The GC method provides information about the chemical yields of the cyclopropane products, enantioselectivity, substrate specifity, and catalytic activity of the chiral catalysts used in the intermolecular cyclopropanation of olefins and avoids time-consuming work-up procedures.
