The enantiomers of various 1-(alpha-aminobenzyl)-2-naphthol and 1-(aminoalkyl)-2-naphthol analogs were separated on cellulose-tris-3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate-based chiral stationary phases (Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralcel OD-RH), using n-hexane/2-propanol/diethylamine or phosphate buffer/organic modifier mobile phases. The 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamoylated cellulose columns were effective in both normal and rev ersed-phase modes. The effects of the mobile phase composition, the pH, the buffer concentration, and the structures of the substituents on the 2-naphthol on the enantioseparations were studied. The absolute configuration and elution sequence were determined for 1-(1-amino-2-methylpropyl)-2-naphthol: the elution sequence was S < R.
