RESUMO
The chromatographic behaviour and performance of four polyproline-derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were tested using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). A series of structurally related racemic compounds, whose enantioseparation was proved to be sensitive to the type of mobile phase used in NP-HPLC, were chosen to be tested in the SFC conditions. Good enantioselection ability was shown by the CSPs for the analytes tested in the new conditions. Resolution, efficiency and analysis time, were considerably improved with respect to NP-HPLC when CO2/alcohol mobile phases were used. Monolithic columns clearly show enhanced chromatographic parameters and improved performance respect to their bead-based counterparts.

In this study, two polyproline-derived chiral selectors are bonded to monolithic silica gel columns. In spite of high chiral selector coverage, the derivatization was found to have only a slight effect on the hydrodynamics of the mobile phase through the column. The enantioseparation ability of the resulting chiral monolithic columns was evaluated with a series of structurally diverse racemic test compounds. When compared to analogous bead-based chiral stationary phases, higher enantioseparation and broader application domain were observed for monolithic columns. Moreover, the increase in flow rate produces a minor reduction of resolution, which permits to shorten analysis time. Additionally, increased loadability defines chiral polyproline derived monoliths as adequate for preparative chromatography.

A proline octapeptide-derived chiral selector (CS) end-capped using a pivaloyl group was covalently linked to a silica gel chromatographic matrix by the C-terminal group. The chromatographic behaviour of the resulting chiral stationary phase (CSP) using different conditions was compared to those containing 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate residues on the proline units. An enantioseparation ability highly dependent on the mobile phase used is observed for these CSPs. When mixtures of alkane/alcohol or alkane/ether are used as mobile phase a similar enantioselectivity is obtained. Nevertheless, in the presence of chlorinated solvents, and without a hydrogen bonding donor in the mobile phase, enantioselectivity is extremely reduced. The reversibility of this phenomenon, attributed to a conformational change in the CS, is examined.
