Separation of acyclic derivatives of sugar enantiomers using gas chromatography on chiral stationary phases of permethylated α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin

Gas-liquid chromatography on monosaccharide single peak derivatives have been run in order to improve methods for the determination of absolute configuration. Eight out of eleven investigated enantiomeric pairs of trifluoroacetylated alditols or aldose diethyl dithioacetals were separated using capillary columns containing chiral stationary phases of permethylated α-cyclodextrin (α-Dex 120), β-cyclodextrin (β-Dex 120) and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-Dex 120).
