Abstract:
The RP HPLC method (LiChrosorb RP18 or Separon SGX C18 column, acetonitrile-water 86:14 v/v mobile phase) was applied for enantiomeric separation of topologically chiral 5-bromo-25,26-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)calix[4]arene 9 or 25-ethyl-26-dihydroxyphosphoryl-calix[4]arene 5. Separation of calixarene 9 was achieved by the addition of D-(-)-tartaric acid which formed hydrogen bonded diastereomeric associates with 9 to the mobile phase. Calixarenephosphoric acid 5 was transformed into diastereomeric salt 6 by addition of L-(-)-alpha-phenylethylamine before RP HPLC separation.
