  • Employing partial chiral separation combined with polarimetric detection for method development and purity assessment.
  • Implementing dual detection (nonchiral and chiroptical) for simultaneous total amount and optical purity determination.

    • Main Results:

    • Detection limits are submicrogram on-column for many chiral compounds.
    • Accurate chiral purity determination (better than +/- 1%) is achievable with laser-based instruments and minimal sample loading.
    • High accuracy (better than +/- 0.1%) in enantiomeric excess determination for near-racemates is possible.

    Conclusions:

    • Chiroptical detection, particularly with advanced polarimeters, significantly enhances HPLC capabilities for chiral analysis.
    • The method is effective for enantiomeric purity determination, offering high accuracy and sensitivity.
    • Applications extend to studying enantioselective reactions and analyzing complex chiral mixtures.
