New chiral selectors are tested with regard to their separation efficiency in chromatographic enantiomer separation and compared with commercial or literature-known products. In particular, thin-layer chromatographic enantiomer separation, which has been little researched to date, is being investigated. Good new chiral selectors are of interest for analytical and preparative applications.
