Enantiomeric purity of naproxen by liquid chromatographic analysis of its diastereomeric octyl esters. 1979

D M Johnson, and A Reuter, and J M Collins, and G F Thompson

A sensitive and specific analytical method was developed to determine the enantiomeric purity of naproxen. A simple derivatization of naproxen with (S)-(+)-2-octanol proceeded quantitatively and gave a mixture of diastereomeric esters displaying baseline separation on liquid chromatography. The ratio of these esters was the same as the ratio of enantiomers present in naproxen samples assayed. Reproducibility of the method was excellent.

D004951 Esterification The process of converting an acid into an alkyl or aryl derivative. Most frequently the process consists of the reaction of an acid with an alcohol in the presence of a trace of mineral acid as catalyst or the reaction of an acyl chloride with an alcohol. Esterification can also be accomplished by enzymatic processes. Esterifications
