An efficient and concise approach for recognizing chirality and determining the absolute configuration of the diastereomers of ( RS )-Betaxolol, [( RS )-Bet] is described, which in turn is a measure of the enantiomeric purity of Bet since the diastereomers were separated and isolated using preparative TLC. A reverse phase HPLC method was developed and validated for the enantioseparation of ( RS )-Betaxolol. Diastereomers were synthesized, using a naproxen based chiral derivatizing reagent, under microwave irradiation. The absolute configuration of both diastereomers was established with the help of 1 H NMR spectroscopy and by developing the lowest energy optimized structures of the diastereomers based on density functional theory. The configuration of the diastereomers was established as [( S )-Nap-( R )-Bet] and [( S )-Nap-( S )-Bet]. The determination of the absolute configuration of the two diastereomers lent support to elution order and separation mechanism. The limits of quantitation were found to be 0.80 ng mL −1 for the diastereomers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
