Chiral chromatographic resolution of a series of antiphlogistic 2- aryloxypropionic acids and their methyl and ethyl esters was performed using a Chiralcel OD column. The CSP selected resolved most of the acids and esters efficiently, the enantiomers being well separated without requiring time consuming analysis. Chromatographic separation of R enriched samples was performed to determine the correct elution order. Using eluting systems such as hexane and 2-propanol, or hexane, 2-propanol and formic acid, the S enantiomer of all acids and esters was always found to elute first. We also considered the role of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents (at the aryloxylic moiety) on the chiral resolution. It was shown that the electronic features of the substituents have more influence on the chiral interactions between the solutes and the CSP than their steric hindrance. Finally we determined, by molecular models, the interaction between CSP and solutes. In this way were able to determine all the potential sites for interactions, which are compatible with the conformations of the compounds and the structure of the stationary phase, and point out those interactions which enable chiral resolution.
