RESUMO
Retention and enantioseparation behavior of ten 2,2'-disubstituted or 2,3,2'-trisubstituted 1,1'-binaphthyls and 8,3'-disubstituted 1,2'-binaphthyls, which are used as catalysts in asymmetric synthesis, was investigated on eight chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on beta-CD, polysaccharides (tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) cellulose or amylose CSPs) and new synthetic polymers (trans-1,2-diamino-cyclohexane, trans-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-(11S,12S)-11,12-dicarboxylic acid CSPs). Normal-, reversed-phase and polar-organic separation modes were employed. The effect of the mobile phase composition was examined. The enantiomeric separation of binaphthyl derivatives, which possess quite similar structures, was possible in different enantioselective environments. The substituents and their positions on the binaphthyl skeleton affect their properties and, as a consequence, the separation system suitable for their enantioseparation. In general, the presence of ionizable groups on the binaphthyl skeleton, substitution with non-identical groups and a chiral axis in the 1,2' position had the greatest impact on the enantiomeric discrimination. The 8,3'-disubstituted 1,2'-binaphthyl derivatives were the most easily separated compounds in several separation systems. From all the chiral stationary phases tested, cellulose-based columns were shown to be the most convenient for enantioseparation of the studied analytes. However, the polymeric CSPs with their complementary behavior provided good enantioselective environments for some derivatives that could be hardly separated in any other chromatographic system.
