HPLC separation of 2-aryloxycarboxylic acid enantiomers on chiral stationary phases
Abstract
The possibility for separating enantiomers of a number of practically significant 2-aryloxycarboxylic acids was studied by normal- and reversed-phase HPLC on popular chiral stationary phases. The best separation parameters were achieved on the chiral phases with the polysaccharide base Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralpack AD under the normal-phase HPLC conditions. The (S)- and (R)-enantiomers of 2-(1-naphthyloxy)- and 2-(2-iodophenoxy)propionic acids with enantiomeric excess ee >99% were isolated using preparative chiral HPLC.
