ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

This study reports on the direct HPLC stereoisomer separation of selected pyrethroic acids employing commercial cinchona alkaloid derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs). cis/trans-Chrysanthemic acid (cis/trans-CA), cis/trans-chrysanthemum dicarboxylic acid (cis/trans-CDCA), cis/trans-permethrinic acid (cis/trans-PA), and fenvaleric acid (FA) were resolved into the individual stereoisomers, i.e. enantiomers and diastereomers as well. To achieve satisfactory baseline separation an optimisation of the variables of the chromatographic method including chemical structure of the cinchona carbamate CSP, mobile phase composition, and flow rate was required. All four stereoisomers of PA were successfully separated in a single run (alphacis = 1.20, alphatrans = 1.26, critical Rs = 1.65) with an acetonitrile (ACN)-based polar-organic eluent. The complete baseline resolution of all CA stereoisomers succeeded in polar-organic (alphacis = 1.20, alphatrans = 1.35, critical Rs = 3.03) as well as in acetonitrile-based reversed-phase media (alphacis = 1.24, alphatrans = 1.22, critical Rs = 2.73). The latter elution mode was also found to be suitable for the enantio- as well as diastereoselective resolution of CDCA (alphacis = 1.09, alphatrans = 1.50, critical Rs = 1.43), which is to the best of our knowledge the first reported enantiomer separation of this analyte. The enantiomers of FA could be baseline separated employing also reversed-phase mode (alpha = 1.16, Rs = 2.91). These separation methods may be applied for quality control processes in the production of stereoisomerically pure insecticides as well as stereoselective toxicokinetic studies, as CDCA, PA, and FA are suitable biomarkers for monitoring human pyrethroid burden.
