Enantiomers of N-trifluoroacetyl-amino acid methyl esters in CC14 solution, after addition of the chiral polysiloxane (L)-Chirasil-Val, display a chemical shift nonequivalence ΔΔδ in both 1H NMR and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The effects found for the leucine and valine derivatives can be correlated with the thermodynamic parameters of interaction in the undiluted system, as determined by gas chromatography. In CDC13 solution, no peak splitting was observed. The method is potentially useful for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of substrates of low volatility.
