Abstract
Synthesised tris(D,D-dicampholylmethanato)europium(III)[Eu(dcm)3] and five commercially available chiral lanthanide shift reagents are used to resolve the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the enantiomeric C—CH3 protons in D- and L-amphetamine. The chemical shift difference between these enantiomeric protons induced by the six shift reagents are evaluated for their prospective use in enantiomeric identification and determination. The base-line resolution induced by Eu(dcm)3 renders the enantiomeric determination feasible without using any special quantitation technique.
