The chromatographic parameters for 12 structurally related compounds i
n the 4a-methyl-2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-1H-fluorene and 4a-methyl-1,2,3,4,
4a,9a-hexahydro-fluoren-9-one series are reported on CTA-I and Chiralc
el OJ chiral stationary phases. Arrangement of the k' values according
to configurationally related enantiomer series (Class I and Class II)
and not according to the actual order of elution, allows the treatmen
t of the data by linear correlation with structure and substituent eff
ect. A detailed analysis of the capacity factor variation with respect
to the structural changes shows clearly that the framework and substi
tution effects do not result in the same response on the two cellulose
ester chiral stationary phases. More interestingly, it emerges that c
hiral discimination may be attributed to certain areas of the molecule
, these areas being different in the interaction within CTA-I and Chir
alcel OJ. Furthermore, our analysis points out the relevance of attemp
ting to develop quantitative relationships for configurationally relat
ed series of enantiomers tin our case Class I and Class II), the main
effort being devoted to the understanding of the capacity factor varia
tion in each class rather than of the alpha values, which are derived
entities. Chirality 10:522-527, 1998, (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
