Synthesis and Chiral Recognition Ability of a Novel Fullerene-functionalized Cellulose Derivative
The fullerene-functionalized cellulose derivative 1 was synthesized and coated onto silica gel as chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The chiral recognition ability of the obtained chiral packing material (CPM) was evaluated by HPLC with ten types of racemates 2-11. This CPM could be used in the eluents including chloroform and terahydrofuran (THF), which are usually unsuitable solvents for conventional coating-type CPMs. Hence the scope of application of this CPM is wider than conventional coating CPM.
