Chiral solid solutions for the NMR analysis of enantiomers: A potential new approach to chiral analysis

Differences between the solid-state 13c cp-mas nmr spectra of holemic samples of the two enantiomers of 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′- binaphthyl (binol) were not sufficiently emphatic to reliably distinguish them,though they are readily distinguishable from the spectrum of the bimate of the compound crystallized from an equimatic sample. inducing an additional chiral environment by cocondensation with sucrose as a chiral selector (cs) provided a method to yield differential spectra for the two enantiomers and thus effect enantiodifferentiation by way of solid-state nmr using weak interactions from a cs. © 2013 karel d. klika.
