Abstract: | The HPLC separation of the R,S and S,R enantiomers of pyrrolidinyl norephedrine on immobilized alpha-1 glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated. Conditions for the separation were varied using a premixed mobile phase containing an ammonium phosphate buffer and an organic modifier. The influence of mobile phase pH, ionic strength, organic modifier composition, modifier type, and temperature on the chiral selectivity and retention were investigated. The presented data demonstrate that independent phenomena govern the enantioselectivity and retention. Retention is a function of both ion exchange equilibria and hydrophobic adsorption. Thermodynamic data derived from van't Hoff plots illustrates that while enantioselectivity is also enthalpically driven, the magnitude of the enthalpy term is governed by pH. Enantioselectivity has little dependence on ionic strength. Hydrophobic interactions appear to foster hydrogen bonding interactions; the two appear to be mutually responsible for chiral selectivity. The chiral selectivity decreases as the pH is decreased and increases with mobile phase buffer strength. |
