18-Crown-6-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6H(4)) and highly sulfated cyclodextrin
s (HS-alpha-, beta-, gamma-CDs) are highly selective chiral selectors for t
he enantioseparation of solutes bearing the primary amino function. Excelle
nt resolutions were obtained for all solutes on HS-gamma-CD and on 18C6H(4)
. The former, however, is by far the best chiral selector for the solutes s
tudied in this work because the highest resolution is obtained with the sho
rtest migration times. The reversal of the D- and L-migration order on HS-C
Ds compared to 18C6H(4) is an interesting feature for the determination of
enantiomeric excess.
