Chiral Separations By Liquid Chromatography

Unique in its systematic and detailed description of the various types, structures, and properties of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and their preparation, application, and future scope, this volume highlights an assortment of liquid chromatographic approaches, including sub- and super-critical fluid chromatography, capillary electrochromatography

Eine Ergänzung anderer, in der Reihe Separation Sciences bereits erschienener Titel. Viel Theorie und zahlreiche Anwendungsbeispiele für die Praxis der chiralen HPLC- und GC-Trennung machen dieses top-aktuelle Buch zu einer unverzichtbaren Informationsquelle für jeden Neueinsteiger auf diesem Gebiet.

This volume represents the proceedings of a two-day international meeting on chiral chromatography held at the University of Surrey between 3-4 September 1987. The meeting was jointly organized by the Chromatographic SOCiety and the Robens Institute of the University of Surrey in response to the burgeoning interest in this rapid maturing field of chromatography. Nowhere is this interest more evident than in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries where the implications of different pharmacological and toxicological activity for the individual enantiomers present in a racemic drug ol" insecticide is an increasing area of concern. Developments in the area of chiral separations are at last beginning to provide SCientists with the necessary tools to study how animals and man handle racemates and relate their obseIVations to the obseIVed biological effects of these substances. The development of robust and Simple methods for the separation of enantiomers will therefore have a profound Impact on safety evaluation and drug design. The meeting proved to be very successful. with over 160 delegates from thirteen countries in Europe and America present to learn from the experiences of experts in the field of chiral chromatography and to hear about the latest developments. Hopefully. in future symposia on chiral separations at the University of Surrey.

Prominent experts from around the world detail the chromatographic and electroseparation techniques they have developed for chiral separations on an analytical scale. Described in step-by-step detail to ensure successful experimental results, the procedures are presented as either general methods or as specific applications to substance classes and special compounds, with emphasis on high performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis techniques, but also including thin layer chromotographic, gas chromatographic, supercritical fluid chromatographic as well as recent electrochromotographic techniques.

Both analytical and preparative-scale enantioseparation techniques are covered in a down-to-earth practical way. The most important aspects of design, economics and safety are considered with emphasis on current European and North American legislation. In addition, the theory of chiral separation is covered in sufficient detail to guide the practising chromatographer interested in developing new techniques. A team of experts from academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world have compiled their findings and experience to make this book an exceptionally timely and unique contribution to the field.

Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is well suited for performing enantioseparations for research as well as larger-scale applications. A fast, inexpensive, and versatile separation technique, there are many practical considerations that contribute to its effectiveness. Thin Layer Chromatography in Chiral Separations and Analysis is the first bo

This is a completely revised and updated sequel to 'A Practical Approach to Chiral Separations by Liquid Chromatography' by the same editor. The scope has been extended to further chiral separation techniques like electrophoresis, membrane separations, or biological assays. More emphasis is put on preparative separation techniques. From reviews of the previous edition: 'A team of experts from academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world have compiled their findings and experience to make this book an exceptionally timely and unique contribution to the field' European Journal of Drug Metabolism 'The dense mass of information contained in this book will make it a valuable resource ...' Chemical Engineering Research '... this is a worthwhile addition to the expanding chiral literature and the book should be of value to those working in this field' The Analyst
