The synthesis of a novel water-soluble chiral N-acylcalix(4)arene amin
o acid derivative has been achieved. The chiral calix(4)arene is in a
''cone'' conformation according to NMR spectroscopy. We report prelimi
nary results using this chiral calixarene derivative as a mobile phase
additive in capillary electrophoresis. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Sc
