Abstract

The enantioselectivity of heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-beta-CD) toward racemic filbertone (E-5-methyl-hep-2-en-4-one) was studied by performing the chiral separation on a capillary column, a thick-film wide-bore column and a semipreparative column. The semipreparative enantioseparation of filbertone was achieved at 80 degrees C by using a packed column providing (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of filbertone with ee 90 and 96%, respectively. The isolated enantiomers (approximately 250 microg each, ee = 90-96%) may be used for studies on the relationship of chirality and biological activity by olfactory screening and toxicological studies.
