Summary:
Chiral ß-cyclodextrin was used to separate diazepam conformers. Several mobile phases of the composition
acetonitrile/acetate buffer 200 mmol/l (pH=3.3, 5.5, 6.5) were employed for this purpose. As follows, the
influence of addition of chiral ß-cyclodextrin to the mobile phase on diazepam separation was studied. The
interconversion was a concurrence process of separation, resulting from stereolability of the diazepam molecule.
The influences of temperature, flow rate, pH, and ionic strength of the mobile phase on interconversion and
chromatographic parameters (retention factor and selectivity coefficient) were studied. Complementary off-line
NMR measurements were carried out with the goal to confirm the structure of diazepam in the presence of an
acid mobile phase.
Key words:
interconversion and separation – diazepam – HPLC – NMR
