New amino, thio, and oxy derivatives of monoterpene lactones, amides, and esters have been synthesized and their enantioselective separations were investigated on seven covalently immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases. The effects of basic additives, different short-chain alcohols, and the influence of the temperature on the chromatographic behavior were studied. In addition, relationships between the structure of selector and selectand and the chromatographic parameters were explored to reveal mechanistic details of chiral recognition. Experiments were performed in the temperature range 10-50°C and thermodynamic parameters were calculated from plots of lnα versus 1/T. The separations were generally enthalpy-controlled, but entropy-driven separation was also observed. Special attention has been paid to the enantiomer elution order and several examples are shown how the structural characteristics of the selector, the nature, and the concentration of the polar modifier induce reversal of the enantiomer elution order in the case of the polysaccharide-based selectors.
