Abstract:
The performance of four chiral liquid chromatographic columns (Chiralcel OA, OJ, OC, OD) was studied with respect to the enantioseparation of flavanones and some derivatives. The effect of mobile phase composition on the retention time and stereo-selectivity was studied. A good enantioseparation (alpha up to 1.45) was achieved for most of the racemates. Further, the elution order of the enantiomers from the chiral stationary phases has been determined by using a circular dichroism based detection system.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
