A new chiral derivatization agent with sugar moiety, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GATC) was synthesized. Several ${\beta}-blockers$ were investigated for the possible separation of the enantiomers by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization with this new chiral derivatization agent (GATC). GATC was reacted readily with ${\beta}-blockers$ at room temperature and the reaction mixture could directly be injected into the HPLC system. The corresponding diastereomers were well resolved on an ODS column with acetonitrile-ammonium acetate buffer as a mobile phase and monitored at UV 254 nm. The optimization of the derivatization procedure (concentration of GATC, reaction temperature and time) and HPLC conditions (pH and ionic strength of mobile phase) were investigated and compared with GITC.

Several ${\beta}$-agonists were investigated for the possible separation of the enantiomers by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography after derivatization with a new chiral derivatization agent, GATC. The derivatization proceeded quantitatively within 1 h at room temperature. The corresponding diastereomers were well resolved an ODS column with acetonitrile-acetate buffers a mobile phase and monitored at UV 254nm. (omitted)

Optimum conditions of chiral derivatization reaction of $\beta$-blockers (acebutolol, arotinolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, celiprolol, metoprolol and pindolol) with (-)-menthyl chloroformate were investigated for the resolution by HPLC. With more than 30 times molar excess of (-)-methyl chloroformate chiral derivatization reactions were completed within one hour at room temperature except arotinolol and celiprolol. Diastereomeric derivatives of $\beta$-blockers were well resolved on the ODS column using acetonitrile-methanol-water as a mobile phase.

The enantiomers of the bronchodilator terbutaline were separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatograhy after derivatization with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-\beta-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate(GITC) reagent. The derivatization proceeded quantitatively within 1 h at room temperature. The corresponding diastereomeric thiourea derivatives were well resolved on an ODS column with acetonitrile-acetate buffer as a mobile phase. Elution orders of the diastereomers were confirmed by derivatization of R-(-)-terbutaline and S-(+)-terbutaline which were collected by semi-preparative chiral HPLC using Sumichiral OA-4700 column. The native fluorescence of terbutaline was quenched by derivatization with GITC. The detection limit was 25ng when monitored at UV 278 nm.

Gas chromatographic method was investigated for the chiral separation of several $\beta$-blockeros(atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol and pindolol) using (-)-$\alpa$-methoxy-$\alpa$-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride as a chiral derivatizing agent for amino group. Prior to N-acylation, hydroxyl group was converted into O-silyl ethers by react with N-methyl-H-(taimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide. The reaction was selective and rapid and the diasteromeric derivatives were well separated by capillary gas chromatography. (R)-isomers were eluted faster than (S)-isomers when (-)-$\alpa$-methoxy-$\alpa$-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride was used as the chiral derivatizing agent. But in the opposite sequence when (+)-$\alpa$-methoxy-$\alpa$-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride was used. No racemization was found during the reaction.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to determine the optical purity of bevantolol enantiomers. (S)-(-)-Menthyl chloroformate((-)-MCF), (S)-(-)-$\alpha$-methylbenzyl isocyanate((-)-MBIC) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate(GITC), which can react with the secondary amine group of bevantolol were investigated as chiral derivatization reagents. Among them indirect chiral HPLC method using CITC gave the best result. The derivatization proceeded quantitatively within 20 min at room temperature. Separation of the enantiomers as diastereomers was achieved by reversed-phase HPLC within 20min using ODS column. Different ratios of (S)-(-)-bevantolol and (R)-(+)-bevantolol were prepared. Enantiomeric separation of these mixtures took place on a chiralcel OD column or, after derivatization with GITC, on a ODS column. No racemization was found during the experiment. This method allowed determination of 0.05% of either enantiomer in the presence of its stereoisomer and method validation showed adequete linearity over the required range.

We report the application of 2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyl chloride (often referred to as Yamaguchi esterification reagent) for the selective derivatization of the carboxylic group for GC-MS with the sample preparation method optimized for GC-MS analysis. The reagent was shown to be capable of selectively turning the carboxylic group into a reaction center, i.e., anhydride, of which the further reaction was directed to a near complete formation of required esters by unique steric and electronic effects of the reagent. Using the developed method, the chiral separation of hydroxycarboxylic acids by GC-MS using non-chiral columns was successfully demonstrated.

A reversed-phase high-performace liquid chromatographic method was developed to determine the optical purity of metoprolol enantiomers. The enantiomers were converted to diastereomeric derivatives using (-)-menthyl chloroformate reagent. Separation of the enantiomers as diastereomers was achieved by reversed-phase HPLC within 30 min using Inertsil C8 column. This method allowed determination of 0.05% of either enantiomer in the presence of its stereoisomer and method validation showed adequate linearity over the required range. Owing to the reaction condition during the derivatization with (-)-menthyl chloroformate, the possibility of racemization had to be established. Different ratios of (S)-(-)-metoprolol and (R)-(+)-metoprolol were prepared. Enantiomeric separation of these mixtures took place on a chiralcel OD column or, after derivatization with (-)-menthyl chloroformate, on a C8 column. The results form the these two independent separation systems were compared with trace racemization and were in very good agreement. No racemization was found during the experiment.
