Popis: Oxazepam and lorazepam, 3-hydroxybenzodiazepines that undergo reversible enantiomerization at ambient temperature, were eluted on a chiral HPLC column at various temperatures and various flow-rates. The profiles obtained by a UV detector were various, such as two peaks, a plateau sandwiched between two peaks, and one fused peak. The profiles obtained by an optical rotation detector were also various, such as two sharp peaks with opposite chirality (−, +), two peaks (−, +) with a great tailing or leading, two small peaks (−, +) next to each other. These peculiar profiles could be explained by on-column enantiomerization. Unexpectedly, the elution order of the (−)- and (+)-enantiomers was reversed for oxazepam and lorazepam. The simultaneous detection by UV and chiroptical measurements allowed us to plot HPLC profiles of the individual enantiomers.
