Of partially-acetylated cellulose

The properties of partially acetylated cellulose for the separation of enantiomers were recognized in 1966 by Luttringhaus and Peters [14]. But the full potential of cellulose acetate was developed by Hesse and Hagel in 1973 [15]. Since then, this stationary phase has been frequently used for the resolution of various racemic compounds. Native cellulose acetylated heterogeneously yields a crystallographic form of cellulose triacetate (CTA) known as CTA-I, which corresponds to its source, an indication that the original supramolecular structure of the starting...
