An NMR tool for cyclodextrin selection in enantiomeric resolution by high‐performance liquid chromatography

Complexation‐induced chemical shifts and diffusion coefficients (HR‐DOSY) of enantiomers with native and derivatized cyclodextrins were used for calculations of the apparent binding constants of three cyclohexanone inclusion complexes. Correlations between these data and high‐performance liquid chromatography were established, revealing that this approach can be applied as an alternative method to predict enantiomeric discrimination.
