Optimum conditions of chiral derivatization reaction of beta-blockers acebutolol, arotinolol, beta-xolol, bisoprolol, celiprolol, metoprolol and pindolol) with (-)-menthyl chloroformate were investigated for the resolution by HPLC. With more than 30 times molar excess of (-)-menthyl chloroformate chiral derivatization reactions were

New chiral N-chloroimidodicarbonates, which function as efficient chiral chlorinating agents, were designed and synthesized. Among these, C(2)-symmetric (1R,2S,5R)-(-)-menthyl-N-chloroimidodicarbonate 2a provided moderate to good enantioselectivity (up to 40%) for the chlorination of silyl enol ethers to afford alpha-chloroketones only in the

Solvent extractive two-phase menthoxycarbonyl (MnOC) derivatization was combined with trimethylsilyl (TMS) reaction for enantioseparation of beta-blockers by gas chromatography employing achiral DB-5 and DB-17 dual-columns of different polarity. beta-Blockers in alkaline solution were vortex-mixed with menthyl chloroformate present in dichloromethane
