Benzoates of cellulose bonded on silica gel: Chiral discrimination ability as high-performance liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases

Abstract

In order to generalize the recently described method for the insolubilization of polysaccharide derivatives to benzoates of cellulose, five mixed 10-undecenoate/benzoates of this polysaccharide have been prepared and linked to allyl silica gel by means of a radical reaction. The chiral recognition ability of the resulting materials when used as high-performance liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases was evaluated using heptane/2-propanol and heptane/chloroform mixtures as mobile phases.
