Synthesis of enantiomerically pure (S)-(-)-propranolol, the most activ
e of the widely used beta-blockers adrenergics, was achieved using a n
ew chiral stationary phase (CSP) for the separation of a derivative. T
his simple methodology shows a significant improvement in the separati
on of the enantiomers of a propranolol derivative over previous method
