Qb. Cass et al., CHIRAL DISCRIMINATION BY HPLC ON ARYL CARBAMATE DERIVATIVES OF CHITINCOATED ONTO MICROPOROUS AMINOPROPYL SILICA, Chirality, 8(1), 1996, pp. 131-135
Optical resolution of a range of racemic compounds was investigated us
ing bis(aryl carbamate) derivatives of chitin coated onto microporous
organosilane-modified silica. The influence on chiral discrimination o
f factors such as the carbamate/support weight ratio, the nature of po
lysaccharide, and the influence of the aryl group substituents was inv
estigated. The bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) derivative of a nonco
mmerical chitin gave the best results. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
