S. Caccamese et al., Chiral HPLC separation and CD spectra of the enantiomers of the alkaloid tacamonine and related compounds, CHIRALITY, 13(10), 2001, pp. 691-693
The HPLC enantiomeric separation of racemic indole alkaloids tacamonine, 17
alpha -hydroxytacamonine, deethyleburnamonine, and vindeburnol was accompl
ished using Chiralpak AD and Chiralcel OD as chiral stationary phases. Smal
l structural differences affect the enantioselectivity ability of these pha
ses. Single enantiomers of tacamonine and vindeburnol were isolated by sein
ipreparative HPLC and their CD spectra and optical rotations were measured.
