Synthesis and Silica‐Based Immobilization of Monofunctionalized Heptakis(2,6‐di‐O‐methyl‐3‐O‐pentyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin for Enantioselective Capillary‐HPLC

Heptakis(2,6‐di‐O‐methyl‐3‐O‐pentyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin was monofunctionalized by the regioselective introduction of exactly one ω‐epoxyoctyl group at the primary site of the cyclodextrin. The site‐specifically substituted cyclodextrin was immobilized to commercially available aminopropyl silica by nucleophilic opening of the epoxy function of the spacer substituent resulting in a lipophilic chiral stationary phase with broad applicability for enantiomer separations in capillary‐HPLC under reversed‐phase conditions.
