An effective and simple protocol is described that successfully leads to liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of racemic beta-blockers by derivatization approach (with an example established with (RS)-metoprolol, and verified by using (RS)-atenolol). The chiral derivatizing reagents (CDRs) were synthesised using (S)-levofloxacin as the chiral moiety. The effectiveness of this protocol is not limited to enantioseparation but also to determine absolute configuration of diastereomers. The protocol describes (i) synthesis of CDRs by reaction of (S)-levofloxacin with N-hydroxysuccinimide and N-hydroxybenzotriazole in presence of coupling reagent dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, (ii) synthesis of diastereomers of racemic beta-blockers under microwave irradiation, (iii) separation of diastereomers by HPLC and open column chromatography, and (iv) determination of absolute configuration of diastereomers. The (S)-Lfx based CDRs provide very low limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ); they can be successfully used in trace analysis of several other racemic compounds containing amino group (e.g., beta-blockers, amino acids etc).
