GC separation of enantiomers of alkyl esters of 2-bromo substituted carboxylic acids enantiomers on 6-TBDMS-2,3-di-alkyl- β- and γ-cyclodextrin stationary phases.

The gas chromatographic separation of enantiomers of 2-Br carboxylic acid derivatives was studied on four different 6-TBDMS-2,3-di-O-alkyl- β- and -γ-CD stationary phases. The differences in thermodynamic data {ΔH and -ΔS} for the 15 structurally related racemates were evaluated. The influence of structure differences in the alkyl substituents covalently attached to the stereogenic carbon atom, as well as in the ester group of the homologous analytes, and the selectivity of modified β- and γ- cyclodextrin derivatives was studied in detail.
