La Cromatografia líquida en la separació d'enantiòmers Authors Biotza Gutiérrez Raquel Sancho Cristina Minguillón Abstract More than 150 years ago Pasteur performed the known separation of the sodium ammonium tartrate,1 thus marking the starting point in the era of modern stereochemistry while performing the first enantioseparation. Crystallization, applied to enantiomers or to their derivatives, and kinetic resolution procedures, often involving enzymes, have been the most used methods in the separation and purification of this kind of isomers for long time. Nevertheless, huge efforts have been addressed to the design of more efficient procedures leading to the separation of enantiomers. Nowadays, thirty years from the first studies on the subject, liquid chromatography using chiral stationary phases has been consolidated as the most efficient analytical methodology to control the enantiomeric content of a mixture of isomers, and one of the most versatile procedures for the production of chiral compounds as single enantiomers.
