Abstract

A new chiral stationary phase for gas chromatography was prepared by covalently attaching a diproline chiral selector that has proven to be effective in liquid chromatography to a methylhydrosiloxane–dimethylsiloxane copolymer. With this new chiral stationary phase for GC, racemic aromatic alcohols could be resolved without derivatization. Racemic aromatic and aliphatic amines could also be resolved after derivatization of the amino groups with trifluoroacetic anhydride or isopropyl isocyanate. On this stationary phase, the isopropyl isocyanate derivatives of amines showed higher enantioselectivity than the trifluoroacetic anhydride derivatives. In both the enantiomeric separations of alcohols and derivatized amines, the aromatic racemic analytes showed higher enantioselectivities than their aliphatic analogs. Some of the α-amino and α-hydroxy aromatic acids could also be separated after derivatization to N-trifluoroacetyl methyl esters for amino acids or O-trifluoroacetyl methyl esters for hydroxyl acids.
