Method to determine enantiomeric excess of glucose by nonchiral high-performance liquid chromatography using circular dichroism detection

J Chromatogr A. 2008 Feb 1;1179(2):125-30. doi: 10.1016/j.chroma.2007.11.092. Epub 2007 Dec 4.

Abstract

Using nonchiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with a circular dichroism (CD) detector, we developed a new method to determine the enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of glucose derivatized with chromophores (p-bromobenzoate). This method is suitable for microscale analysis of glycoside and saccharide. As an application of this method, the enantiomeric excess of the component glucose of a glucan was assayed.
