The chromatographic separation of positional isomers (26-31), geometrical isomers (27,32-36) and enantiomers (37-49) has been achieved by utilizing the concerted action of inclusion complex formation, additional primary and secondary hydrogen-bond formation and steric hindrance effects between the solutes and the cyclodextrins (11,12,14-23,50). There is an abundant literature on the analytical applications of cyclodextrin-silicas (13-50), but not on their preparative chromatographic use. 

Chromatographic System (See Chromatography, Appendix IIA.) Use a liquid chromatograph equipped with a refractive index detector that can be maintained at a constant temperature of 25°, a 25-cm x 4.6-mm (id) column packed with 10- im porous silica gel bonded with aminopropylsilane (Alltech 35643, or equivalent), and a guard column that contains the same packing. Maintain the column at a constant temperature of 25° 2°, and the flow rate at about 2.0 mL/min. Inject 20 pL of System Suitability Preparation into the chromatograph, and record the peak responses as directed under Procedure. The relative standard deviation for replicate injections is not more than 2.0%, and the alpha-Cyclodextrin and beta-Cyclodextrin peaks exhibit baseline separation, the relative retention times being about 0.8 and 1.0, respectively. 

Enantiomeric Stationary Phases. Chiral nonracemic chromatographic stationary phases prepared from p-cyclodextrin, derivatized with (R)- and (S)-NEI, and covalently bonded to a silica support are useful for the direct separation of enantiomers of a wide variety of compounds in both normal-phase and reversed-phase HPLC. ...

In the area of cyclodextrin ethers the -compound has been converted into a set of five tris-Tbdms ethers, all substituted at their various 6-positions, which were separated by hplc and characterized by n.m.r. spectroscopy. Related work applied to y-cyclodextrin gave the various 6,6 -disubstituted ethers. 5-Bromo-l-pentene was used to produce the 2-0-mono-4-pentenyl ether of P-cyclodextrin which was then permethylated and the product was chemically bonded to silica gel to form an efficient hplc stationary phrase for the separation of enantiomers. Peroctyl a-cyclodextrin has been studied as a chiral receptor for the ephedrinium ion. Various octyl ethers of a-, P- and y-cyclodextrin ranging in their substitution from the diethers to completely alkylated products were characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry and n.m.r. methods applied to methylated derivatives. The 2,6-didodecyl derivative of p-cyclodextrin has been used as a potentiometric sensor. In the field of aromatic ethers, naphthyl carboxylate substituents have been bonded at the 6-positions and the products were able to transfer excitation energy to complexed merocyanine held in the cavities of those molecules. These phototransfer processes were extremely efficient.P-Substituted cyclodextrin derivatives with p-allyloxybenzoyl or various benzyl substituents at 0-2 or 0-3 were incorporated by hydrosilylation to give hydromethylpolysiloxane polymers used as chiral phases for chromatographic resolution of enantiomers. Cyclodextrins with complex benzyl-like eth are illustrated in 22 and 23. The latter were prepared as artificial redox enzymes. 

In Chapter 4, the authors discuss the noncommercial CSPs, their preparation, and the in-laboratory preparation (home coating) of the chromatographic plates by using these sorbents. Among the stationary phases discussed are cellulose, cellulose triacetate, cellulose tribenzoate, cellulose tricarbamate molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs), and jS-cyclodextrin ( -CD) bonded to the silica gel matrix.
