This paper presents a new chiral separation technology:two-phase(O/W)recognition chiral extraction.Distribution behavior of alpha-cyclohexyl-mandelic acid enantiomers was studied in the extraction system with D(L)-isobutyl tartrate in 1,2-dichloroethane organic phase and beta-CD derivatives in aqueous phase,and the influence of the kind and concentration of extractant and pH on extraction performance was investigated.The experimental results indicate that two-phase(O/W)recognition chiral extraction is of strong chiral separation ability.HP-^-CD,HE-beta-CD and Me-beta-CD have higher recognition ability for S-CHMA than that for R-CHMA,among which HP-beta-CD has the strongest ability;whereas,D-isobutyl tartrate has reversed recognition ability for them.In the extraction system containing HP-beta-CD and D-isobutyl tartrate,e.e.% of S-CHMA in aqueous phase reached 27.6% by one stage extraction,and the distribution ratio for R-CHMA(k_R)and for S-CHMA(k_S)and separation factor(alpha)are 2.44,0.89 and 2.49,respectively.Meanwhile,pH and concentration of extractant have great effects on chiral separation ability.Two-phase(O/W)recognition chiral extraction has great significance for preparative separation of racemic compounds.

The chiral separation of phenylsuccinic acid(PSA)was studied by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC)with cyclodextrins(CDs)as chiral mobile phase additives.The effects of types of CDs,concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(HP-β-CD),percentage of organic modifier,pH value and column temperature on enantioselective separation were investigated.The quantification property of the developed RP-HPLC method was examined.The chiral recognition mechanism of PSA was also discussed.The results show that a baseline separation of PSA enantiomers is achieved on a Lichrospher C18 column(4.6 mm(inner diameter)×250 mm,5μm)with HP-β-CD as chiral mobile phase additive.The capacity factors of R-PSA and S-PSA are 3.94 and 4.80,respectively.The separation factor and resolution are respectively 1.22 and 8.03.The mobile phase is a mixture of acetonitrile and deionized water(20-80,volume ratio)containing 10 mmol/L HP-β-CD and 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid(pH 2.5,adjusted with triethylamine)with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The ultraviolet(UV)detector is set at 254 nm.The likely roles are inclusion interaction,induction and hydrogen bonding between HP-β-CD and PSA enantiomers.
