A giant vesicle forming single tailed chiral surfactant for enantioseparation by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Abstract

Light microscopy has shown the existence of giant bilayer vesicles in aqueous solutions of a novel chiral surfactant, sodium N-[4-dodecyloxybenzoyl]-L-valinate, which acts as a very good chiral selector for enantioseparation of (±)-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol and (±)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diylhydrogenphosphate by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
