Macrocyclic compounds such as crown ethers and cyclodextrins play an important role in the field of chromatography and show excellent separation performance. The design of simple and convenient methods for the efficient synthesis of novel chiral macrocycles for chromatographic separation is of great significance. In this work, a novel chiral polyimine macrocycle (PIMC) was designed and synthesized by the simply one-step reaction of 2,6-diformyl-4-tert-butylphenol with (S)-(-)-1,2-propanediamine. Then, it was bonded onto silica by the thiol-ene click reaction to construct a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The chiral separation performance of the proposed CSP was examined by separating various racemates in the normal-phase (NP) and reversed-phase (RP) HPLC. In total, twelve and nine racemates, including ethers, esters, amines, alcohols, organic acids, ketones, and epoxides, were separated to varying degrees via NP-HPLC and RP-HPLC, respectively, Moreover, the CSP offered good chiral separation complementarity to Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralpak AD-H columns for resolution of these test racemates, and it can separate several racemic compounds that either cannot be separated or cannot be separated well be separated by the two commercially available columns. After the column was used for hundreds of injections, the relative standard deviations of the retention time and resolution were below 0.56 % and 0.45 %, respectively, showing the good reproducibility and stability of the CSP. This study provides a simple and convenient approach to synthesize a novel chiral macrocycle and CSP and also indicates the broad application prospects of such chiral PIMCs in HPLC chiral separation.
