COMMISSION ON SEPARATION METHODS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Analytical chiral separation methods

(IUPAC Recommendations 1997)

V.A. Davankov

Abstract: In recent years there has been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemistry and pharmaceutical industry. Frequently the methods used for the separations, for monitoring the progress of an asymmetric synthesis or optical purity of the products are chromatographic with either liquids, gases, or supercritical fluids as the mobile phase. More recently capillary electrophoresis has been added as an analytical chiral separation method.

These applications have lead to a number of terms and expressions in addition to those commonly used or recently recommended for the chemistry and physical properties of chiral compounds. This Nomenclature provides the descriptions and definitions for additional terms particularly related to analytical separation methods, and to the formation and enantiomeric purity of chiral products.
