A chromatographic study on the exceptional chiral recognition of 2-(benzylsulfinyl)benzamide by an immobilized-type chiral stationary phase based on cellulose tris(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate)

The chromatographic results obtained using different mobile phases consisting of pure methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol or binary mixtures n-hexane-2-propanol, which are prohibited with the progenitor coated-type chromatographic support, permitted to identify the NH2 of the amide group as the key structural element of the (S)-enantiomer of 2-(benzylsulfinyl)benzamide for obtaining a very high affinity for the IC-3 chiral stationary phase.
