  ABSTRACT: Amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase was used by liquid chromatography under reversed-phase conditions for the chiral separation of 20 pesticides, of which ten samples were separated directly under suitable conditions. The influence of mobile phase composition and column temperature from 0 to 40°C on the separation was investigated. The mobile phases were methanol/water or acetonitrile/water at a flow rate of 0.5mLmin−1 with UV detection at 230nm. The two enantiomers of fenamiphos, terallethrin, fenoxaprop-ethyl, benalaxyl and lactofen could obtain base separation under optimized conditions, while the enantiomers of quizalofop-ethyl, metalaxyl, napropamide, fluroxypyr-meptyl and 2,4-D-ethylhexyl got partial separation. The retention factors (k) and selectivity factor (α) for the enantiomers of most investigated pesticides decreased with increasing the temperature. The lnα–1/T plots for enantiomers of chiral pesticides were linear at the range of 0–40°C except for that of metalaxyl, fenoxaprop-ethyl and 2,4-D-ethylhexyl enantiomers in methanol/water. The thermodynamic parameters calculated based on linear Van’t Hoff plots showed the chiral separation was controlled by enthalpy. Better separation was not always at low temperature. The chiral recognition mechanisms were discussed. The elution orders of the eluting enantiomers were determined by a circular dichroism detector.

  ABSTRACT: Twenty chiral pesticides were tested, of which seven samples were directly separated by HPLC using cellulose tris-3,5-dimethyl carbamate (CDMPC) chiral stationary phase under RP conditions. The influence of mobile phase composition and column temperatures from 0 degrees C to 40 degrees C on the separations were investigated. The mobile phases were methanol/water or ACN/water at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min with UV detection at 230 or 210 nm. Epoxiconazole, terallethrin, benalaxyl, and diclofopmethyl were observed to obtain the baseline separation under suitable conditions and other pesticides pyriproxyfen, lactofen, and quizalofop-ethyl were separated partially. The retention factors (k) and selectivity factor (alpha) for the enantiomers of most investigated pesticides decreased upon increasing the temperature except for the selectivity factors (alpha) of pyriproxyfen in methanol/water. The ln alpha - 1/T plots for racemic chiral pesticides were linear at the range of 0-40 except for that of pyriproxyfen enantiomers in methanol/water and the chiral separations were controlled by enthalpy. Better separations were not always at low temperature. The elution orders of the eluting enantiomers were determined by a circular dichroism (CD) detector.
