Abstract

Axially chiral biaryl stationary phases (CSPs) of C2 symmetry bound to 3-aminopropyl silica both by ionic and covalent bond were prepared. The separation effectivity of the CSPs so obtained was investigated using 2-acylamino alcohols and biaryl derivatives as analytes. Whereas ionically bound phases derived from biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic or 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylic acids (CSP 1, 2, 3 and 4) generally exhibited good resolving performance for 2-acylamino alcohols, they were ineffective for biaryl derivatives. On the other hand, covalent CSPs showed poor selector properties with acylamino alcohols; the binaphthyl CSP 7 resolved some of the biaryl analytes. Phase CSP 6 was completely inactive toward all the compounds tested. Absolute configuration of 4,4',6,6'-tetranitrobiphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid (II) has been derived from its CD spectrum and some speculations on configuration of bipyridine diacid IV are presented.
