Enantioselective separation of (±)‐epinephrine by chiral acidic molecularly imprinted polymer Polym. Int. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Fatimah A. Alotaibi
In this study, we look into how poly(4‐styrenesulfonic acid‐co‐4‐vinylpyridine) cross‐linked with divinylbenzene can be used as a copolymeric material to effectively recognize L‐epinephrine (L‐EP) and chirally separate the (±)‐EP. It was first possible to synthesize and analyze L‐EP‐styrene‐4‐sulfonamide (L‐EP‐SSA). The resulting chiral sulfonamide was used to copolymerize with a 4‐vinylpyridine/divinylbenzene
