Synthesis and enantioseparation of derivatives of propranolol

Propranolol is one of the first prepared and in therapeutic praxis used beta- adrenolytics. In this paper novel derivatives of propranolol with cyclohexylamino and pyrrolidin-1-yl groups in hydrophilic part were prepared. HPLC-enantioseparation propranolol (as reference compound) and of the prepared derivatives has been achieved using a Chiralpak AD CSP based on the amylose tris (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate).(R)-enantiomer of the propranolol was prepared by stereoselective synthesis using Jacobsen catalyst.
