Enantioselective Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Cyclopropane Derivatives

Chirasil-β-Dex was used as chiral stationary phase for the enantioselective gas chromatographic analysis of several new chiral cyclopropane derivatives. The GC method provides information about the chemical yields of the cyclopropane products, enantioselectivity, substrate specifity, and catalytic activity of the chiral catalysts used in the inter- and intra-molecular cyclopropanation reactions and avoids time-consuming work-up procedure
