Abstract
Two series of amino acid derivatives and phenylamines were used to evaluate the potential of highly sulfated cyclodextrins (HS‐CDs) for the screening for chiral separations by capillary electrophoresis (CE). HS‐CDs showed to be very versatile and to exhibit very high enantioselectivity. The use of short‐end injection allowed to reduce dramatically the analysis time. From the results obtained, a scheme for the rapid screening of enantiomeric molecules was developed and applied to various chiral drugs. Results are very satisfying as almost all compounds (62 out of 67) could be baseline‐resolved. Usually, less than three experiments were necessary to obtain very good separation.
