نبذه عن الكتاب: The development of chiral resolution methods is considered an urgent need in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and other chemical industries. Perhaps most essential is the development of new chiral drugs, which are necessary because of the different physiological properties of enantiomers. Various approaches to chiral resolution have been developed and used, but the direct resolution by liquid chromatography on chiral stationary phases has proven to be one of the most effective, practical, and economical. This volume deals with the art of chiral resolution by liquid chromatography, focusing on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), sub- and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), capillary electrochromatography (CEC), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). These methods are examined as they are used in analysis and development of drugs, pharmaceuticals, xenobiotics, and other chiral molecules. The book provides systematic and detailed descriptions of the numerous approaches to chiral resolution. The first chapter is an introduction to basic concepts of molecular chirality and liquid chromatography. Chapters 2 through 9 discuss the chiral resolution of various classes of chiral stationary phases. Chapter 10 deals with chiral resolution using chiral mobile phase additives.
