Allenmark (microbiological chemistry, U. of Gothenburg) gives a thorough treatment of chiral chromatography, covering basic theory, methods (particularly stationary phase design), and applications. Treatment is self-contatined; early chapters explain principles, incorporating background material on organic stereochemistry; later ones cover instrumentation, preparation, synthesis, and analysis. Includes in-depth coverage of liquid chromatographic methods and discussion of industrial uses for large-scale preparative resolutions, including column sample capacity, chromatographic reproducability, and automatic operation.

The development of chiral liquid chromatography, facilitating thestraightforward separation of enantiomers, was a significantadvance in chromatography, leading to widespread application inanalytical chemistry. Application in preparative chromatography hasbeen less rapid, but with the development of single enantiomerpharmaceuticals its use is increasingly common in chemicalsynthesis at laboratory, pilot plant and even full productionscale. Brings non-experts up to speed quickly and comprehensively,facilitating the rapid development of effective separations ofenantiomeric mixtures on a range of process scales Presents case studies drawn from within the pharmaceuticalindustry to clearly illustrate the utility and value of preparativescale enantioselective chromatography in chemical research,development and production Key reference source and entry to the literature so the readerdoes not have to engage in expensive and time consuming literaturesearching

There is a dramatic rise of novel drug use due to the increased popularity of so-called designer drugs. These synthetic drugs can be illegal in some countries, but legal in others and novel compounds unknown to drug chemistry emerge monthly. This thoughtfully constructed edited reference presents the main chromatographic methodologies and strategies used to discover and analyze novel designer drugs contained in diverse biological materials. The methods are based on molecular characteristics of the drugs belonging to each individual class of compounds, so it will be clear how the current methods are adaptable to future new drugs that appear in the market.

"Volume 35 examines timely subjects such as performance requirements, detection modes, and ancillary techniques for optical detectors in capillary electrophoresis; and more."

This is a completely revised and updated sequel to 'A Practical Approach to Chiral Separations by Liquid Chromatography' by the same editor. The scope has been extended to further chiral separation techniques like electrophoresis, membrane separations, or biological assays. More emphasis is put on preparative separation techniques. From reviews of the previous edition: 'A team of experts from academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world have compiled their findings and experience to make this book an exceptionally timely and unique contribution to the field' European Journal of Drug Metabolism 'The dense mass of information contained in this book will make it a valuable resource ...' Chemical Engineering Research '... this is a worthwhile addition to the expanding chiral literature and the book should be of value to those working in this field' The Analyst

The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

An expert resource for chemists using stereochemical analysis methods In Chiral Separations and Stereochemical Elucidation: Fundamentals, Methods, and Applications, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a robust and authoritative discussion of the theoretical fundamentals of chiral separation, the most commonly used chiral selectors, and stereochemical elucidation methods. The book offers expert discussions of a variety of chiral separation methods by gas chromatography (GC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and liquid chromatography (LC). The authors also describe several methods for stereochemical elucidation, including X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and chiroptical methods. The explored material is ideal for practicing chemists seeking a resource to help them guide method development and optimization or to explain quality control-complements during target compound production. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to the most important advances and applications in LC, GC, CE, SFC, and preparative chromatography Comprehensive explorations of the role of 2D-LC for chiral separation methods development and applications Practical discussions of the design, mechanisms, and applications of the most commonly used chiral selectors Fulsome treatments of the theoretical backgrounds, advantages, limitations, and applications of stereochemical elucidation methods Perfect for academic and industrial chemists specially in organic, analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical analysis. Chiral Separations and Stereochemical Elucidation: Fundamentals, Methods, and Applications will also benefit biochemists, environmental analysts, forensic and medicinal chemists as well as natural product chemists and those involved with stereochemistry or structural elucidation.
