Notes:
As supercritical fluid chromatography becomes more accepted as a facile means for the separation of chiral compounds, the need for mobile phases that can readily solubilize these polar compounds grows. Prior studies suggest that HFC-134a may prove suitable due to its very high eluotropic strength compared to carbon dioxide-based mobile phases. A comparison is made between ethanol-modified carbon dioxide, HFC-134a, and decafluoropentane as to their relative eluotropic strength, selectivity, and efficiency for three chiral compounds using a Whelk O-1 chiral bonded phase. The bulk component of the mobile phase was found to have relatively little effect on chiral selectivity over the range of 5° to 95°C. Chirality 9:693-698, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
