Application Notes: Chiral

DAICEL’s CHIRALPAK® sub-2 µm columns yield sub 30-second chiral separations of Thalidomide and Naproxen under SFC conditions.

Successful separations of the enantiomers of 3,3’-substituted BINOLs and their corresponding protected derivatives were obtained on the RegisPack® chiral stationary phase (CSP) from Regis Technologies, Inc.

A CHIRALPAK IG column (immobilized meta selector) was used to develop the enantioselective separation of methylclothiazide. Meta-substituted immobilized chiral selectors have been shown to have remarkable affinity for resolution of chiral compounds from different types of molecules. Available in 3 and 5 micron.

In new drug development, the number of diverse chiral compounds is increasing and sensitive chiral methods are often needed quickly. Many new CSPs are available on the market making it challenging to select the most important ones for the initial screening stages and expedite method development. The focus of this study is to evaluate high selectivity CSPs and to suggest the best screening method with a limited number of high success rate chiral columns.

Chiral method development and chiral separations have been the main contributors to the popularity of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The low viscosity and high diffusivity of the mobile phase in SFC allows for low pressure drops and fast chromatography, making it an attractive alternative to LC, especially for pharmaceutical applications. SFC is often 3–5 times faster than HPLC and often produces higher efficiency. SFC is now regarded as a standard separation support tool for chemical synthesis and development.
