Direct resolution of (±)‐ephedrine and atropine into their enantiomers was achieved by normal‐phase thin layer chromatography on silica gel plates impregnated with optically pure L ‐tartaric acid and L ‐histidine, respectively, as chiral selectors. The mobile phases enabling successful resolution were different combinations of acetonitrile–methanol–water. The spots were detected with iodine vapours and the detection limits were 2 and 6 µg, respectively, in terms of the racemate. The effects of concentration of the impregnating reagent, temperature and pH on resolution have been studied. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
