Flumecinol and related compounds can, without derivatization, be separated into their enantiomers by gas chromatography on cyclodextrin phases; permethylated β-cyclodextrin dissolved in OV-1701 can be particularly recommended. Thermodynamic data describing the different intensities of interaction of the individual enantiomers with the stationary phases were determined. The values measured imply different separation mechanisms for the compounds investigated.
