CSPs Derived from Natural Polymers

According to their chemical structures, CSPs can be divided into three different groups. A multitude of chiral stationary phases is derived from (modified) natural or synthetic polymers, e.g., the polysaccharides, proteins or polyacrylamides. A second type of selectors is based on large chiral ring systems, such as cyclo-dextrins, macTocycKc antibiotics, and crown ethers. The last group comprises moleailes of small and medium size, such as amino acids and their derivatives, alkaloids, and fuUy synthetic selectors.
