V. Schurig et al., ON THE ENANTIOMERIZATION BARRIER OF ATROPISOMERIC 2,2',3,3',4,6'-HEXACHLOROBIPHENYL (PCB-132), Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(9), 1995, pp. 2161-2164
The rotational barrier of chiral, tri-ortho-substituted 2,2',3,3',4,6'
-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 132) was determined. After semipreparative HP
LC separation of PCB 132 on polysiloxane-anchored permethyl-beta-cyclo
dextrin (Chirasil-Dex), one single enantiomer was subjected to an enan
tiomerization kinetic and the enantiomeric ratio was determined by chi
ral gas chromatography. Furthermore, on-column inversion of PCB 132 wa
s investigated in the presence of Chirasil-Dex via stopped-flow gas ch
romatography.
