About: Chiral shift reagent

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A chiral shift reagent is a reagent used in analytical chemistry for determining the optical purity of a sample. Some analytical techniques such as HPLC and NMR, in their most commons forms, cannot distinguish enantiomers within a sample, but can distinguish diastereomers. Therefore, converting a mixture of enantiomers to a corresponding mixture of diastereomers can allow analysis. One method involves the reaction of a chiral derivatizing agent (CDA) with a mixture of enantiomers to produce diastereomers via covalent attachment. One of the most common CDA is Mosher's acid.

  • A chiral shift reagent is a reagent used in analytical chemistry for determining the optical purity of a sample. Some analytical techniques such as HPLC and NMR, in their most commons forms, cannot distinguish enantiomers within a sample, but can distinguish diastereomers. Therefore, converting a mixture of enantiomers to a corresponding mixture of diastereomers can allow analysis. One method involves the reaction of a chiral derivatizing agent (CDA) with a mixture of enantiomers to produce diastereomers via covalent attachment. One of the most common CDA is Mosher's acid. Another method involves non-covalent interactions. NMR shift reagents such as EuFOD, Pirkle's alcohol, and TRISPHAT take advantage of the formation of diastereomeric complexes between the shift reagent and the analytical sample. (en)
