In this work, a new chiral stationary phase heptakis (3-O-pentafluoropropionyl-2,6-di-O-pentyl)-β-cyclodextrin was synthesized and evaluated with a wide variety of volatile chiral compounds. As a result, the new cyclodextrin derivative can be applied to the separation of chiral components of essential oils, as hydrocarbons, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols and of various classes of synthetic chiral compounds, as long chain alcohols, halocarbons, nitrogen and sulfur containing compounds.
