Synthesis and Application of C2 and C3 Symmetric (R)-Phenylglycinol-Derived Chiral Stationary Phases.

A C3 symmetric (R)-phenylglycinol N-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid-derived chiral stationary phase (CSP) and three C2 symmetric (R)-phenylglycinol CSPs were newly synthesized using o-, m-, and p-phthaloyl dichlorides. These CSPs were used to compare the resolution of 25 chiral samples using a previously reported 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl (R)-phenylglycinol-derived CSP. Even though all CSPs have the same chiral moiety, the C3 symmetric CSP showed the best resolution.
