Abstract

An octakis (3-O-butyryl-2,6-di-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin capillary gas chromatographic column was used to determine the optical purity of seven different β-lactones, having substituents in α- or β-position, and DL-lactide. The resolving power varied from one lactone to another. The optical purity values determined by GC were in agreement with those obtained from NMR spectroscopy or optical rotation.
