Chiral separation techniques; a practical approach, 3d ed.9783527315093 Chiral chi·ral adj. Of or relating to the structural characteristic of a molecule that makes it impossible to superimpose it on its mirror image. chi·ral separation techniques; a practical approach, 3d ed. Ed. by Ganapathy Subramanian. Wiley-VCH 2007 618 pages $200.00 Hardcover QD79 Mostly European and US chemists review the current status of separating left-handed from right-handed molecules, which often have different pharmacological properties. They provide chemists, biochemists, and chemical engineers information by which to chose a method to produce enantio-pure substances of quality for specific purposes. Among the more colorfully named techniques are supercritical fluid chromatography Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is a robust and easy-to-use form of normal phase chromatography ideally suited to the analysis and purification of low to moderate molecular weight, thermally labile molecules. It is especially suited to the separation of chiral compounds. , ligand exchange, simulated moving bed In chromatography, the simulated moving bed (SMB) technique is a a variant of high performance liquid chromatography; it is used to separate particles and/or chemical compounds that would be difficult or impossible to resolve otherwise. chromatography, and chiral crown ether Crown ethers are heterocyclic chemical compounds that, in their simplest form, are cyclic oligomers of ethylene oxide. The essential repeating unit of any simple crown ether is ethyleneoxy, i.e. stationary phases. No dates are noted for previous editions. ([c]20072005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
