Application of HPLC for the screening of separation of new macrocyclic systems

Abstract

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The efficient synthesis of new macrocyclic systems via nucleophilic ring opening reaction of epoxides by thiols was described. Initially new macrocyclic compounds were obtained as a mixture of diastereomers. Preparative thin layer chromatography was applied to separate meso and pairs of enantiomer. The identification of products using a chiral HPLC column and mass spectroscopy was utilized.
