Abstract: The chiral recognition of racemic ibuprofen by β-cyclodextrin was studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The 1H and 13C spectra of ibuprofen complexing with β-cyclodextrin were shown to be different from those of free ibuprofen. Some peaks of the atoms adjacent to the chiral carbon atom showed splitting into two parts, corresponding to the two enantiomers of ibuprofen respectively. The result demonstrated that β-cyclodextrin can be used as a convenient and effectual chiral solvating agent.

Key words: NMR, β-cyclodextrin, ibuprofen, chrial discrimination, chiral solvating agent
