Determination of Enantiomeric Purity of (S)-(+)-Ibuprofen by $^1$H-NMR using (-)- Cinchonidine as a Chiral Solvating Agent

$^1$H-NMR method for the determination of enantiomeric purity of (S)-(+)-ibuprofen was developed using (-)-cinchonidine as a chiral solvating agent. (S)-(+)-ibuprofen was prepared by optical resolution of racemic ibuprofen using preferential recrystallization method with (S)-(-)-${\alpha}$-methylbenzylamine and (R)-(-)-ibuprofen by semi-preparative chiral HPLC using chiral OD column and n-hexane/2-propanol/trifluoroacetic acid as a mobile phase. Several concentrations of synthetic mixture of (S)-(+)-ibuprofen and (R)-(-)-ibuprofen were added to the (-)-cinchonidine disolved in CDCl$_3$. (omitted)
