“…It was initially designed to separate naproxen; however, it has been shown to be useful for the separation of underivatized enantiomers of various classes of compounds such as amides, epoxides, esters, ureas, carbamates, ethers aziridines, phosphonates, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, alcohols, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). [22][23][24] Separations on this CSP may be expected to utilize a combination of p-acidity, p-basicity, hydrogen bond donor/acceptor sites, and steric interactions for chiral recognition purposes. This stationary phase presents two stereogenic centers and the accepted mechanistic significance of this CSP suggests that the bulky substituents on vicinal stereogenic centers confer considerable rigidity to apparently hold the interaction sites in spatial positions that might enhance the chiral recognition properties.…”
