2,3-Di-O-pentyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-β-cyclodextrin as a Chiral Stationary Phase in Capillary Gas Chromatography

2,3-Di-O-pentyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-β-cyclodextrin has been evaluated as an enantioselective stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. Experimental results show a good enantioselectivity towards compounds with different functional groups (haloalkanes, alcohols, esters, terpenoids, amino acid derivatives, and heterocycles). Column stability improves mixing the chiral phase with polysiloxane SE-54 (1 : 1).
