A new gas chromatography (GC) method is presented for analysing both the conversion and the enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of samples from alcohol dehydrogenase reactions. The chiral compounds studied were a series of saturated, straight chain alcohols, ranging from 2-butanol to 2-heptanol. The alcohols were converted to the corresponding trifluoroacetylated derivatives by injecting trifluoroacetic anhydride onto the column shortly after injection of the aqueous samples in split-injection mode (1:100) onto a Chiraldex G-TA capillary GC column. Injecting seven hundred aqueous enzymatic reaction mixtures according to the above-mentioned procedure revealed no noticeable loss of column performance. Using the new GC method, conventional sample work-up procedures such as extraction and off-line derivatisation are eliminated and throughput of samples is significantly enhanced.
