Direct resolution of naproxen on a non-covalently molecularly imprinted chiral stationary phase
A synthetic polymer selective for (S)-naproxen was prepared by molecular imprinting. 4-Vinylpyridine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were copolymerised in the presence of the template, (S)-naproxen. The template was extracted from the polymer, leaving specific recognition sites, complementary to the template. The polymer was utilized as a stationary phase in HPLC. Racemic naproxen was efficient
