Overview of the Separation of Agrochemical Enantiomers on Commercial CSPs

Abstract

This article reviews the separation of racemic agrochemical compounds on commercial chiral stationary phases (CSPs) using the ChirBase database. Positive results are only retained, and for a given CSP type, only the analytical conditions providing the best enantioselectivity is taken into account. With this article, the analyst can find, at a glance, the best CSP column and its supplier, as well as, the best mobile phase to rapidly resolve the separation of a given racemic product used in agriculture.
