High Performance LC
ReproSil Chiral-NR, 8 µm


Reprosil Chiral-NR is designed for chiral separations in Normal-phase mode or in Reversed phases mode. Reprosil Chiral-NR-R shows a Reversed elution order compared to Reprosil-NR.

Aromatic rings and an Oxygen (Carbonyl, hydroxyl function, or in some cases even a Nitrogen) very near to the chiral centre are important for the chiral recognition to take place.



       
  ReproSil Chiral-NR is based on the ultrapure Reprosil 100 Silica. The chiral selector, an aromatic compound, is covalently bound and has a similar broad chiral generality comparable with polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases. Reprosil Chiral-NR is a brush-type phase with p-acceptor and p-donor groups, therefore the phase can be used for compounds which also contain p-acceptor and p-donor groups.
Due to the 100A° pores and the large surface area of 350 m2/g the phase has an excellent preparative capacity. With a 250 x 10 mm column one can separate 50 – 250 mg / injection and with a 250 x 20 mm column 250 – 1000 mg/ injection. In preparative separations it is an advantage to get the minor enantiomer eluting first. Reprosil Chiral-NR-R shows the reversed elution order, because it is modified with the opposite enantiomeric chiral form compared to Reprosil Chiral-NR.
Both phases are stable in all commonly used eluents, including aqueous systems. Typical eluents in the normal-phase mode are mixtures of Hexane and 2-Propanol, in the reversed phase mode mixtures of MeOH and water. The ideal operating pH-range is between 2 und 7, and the columns are stable up to 300 bar. Very often one can use the same or similar eluents like on the polysaccharide-derived CSPs.
The peak shape of acids can be improved with 0,1 % acetic acid, the peak shape of bases with 0,1 % TEA. With 0,01% Ammonium Acetate a good peak shape can be achieved with both acids and with bases. ReproSil Chiral-NR allows the separation of underivatized racemates like: Amides, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Aziridines, Carbamates, Carboxylic acids, Epoxides, Esters, Ethers, Ketones, Phosphonates, Sulfonamides and Ureas.

Rule of thumb:
A good chiral separation can be expected with aromatic compounds with an Oxygen (or Nitrgen) at or very near to the chiral centre.

Examples for Separations:
The most commonly used column dimension is 250 x 4.6 mm with a flow of 1,5 ml / min.

  Method development for Normal-Phase Separations:
1.) Start off with a mixture of Hexane / IPA (50/50).
2.) If the RT is too short, add less IPA; if the RT is too long, add more IPA.
3.) Peak-Tailing
with acids: use 0,1 % Acetic acid,
with bases: use 0,1 % TEA.
You can improve the peak shapes in both cases with 0,01 % Ammonium acetate.
4.) The method can be further optimized by replacing Hexane with Heptane and / or IPA with Ethanol.
