Abstract
The optical resolution of ten racemates by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) was investigated using phenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose and 4-methylbenzoate of cellulose as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and carbon dioxide–alcohol as a mobile phase. The optical resolving abilities of phenylcarbamates of both cellulose and amylose in SFC were low compared with those in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, 4-methylbenzoate of cellulose showed a slightly better optical resolving ability in SFC than in HPLC.
