A stereospecific gas chromatography (GC) method using a (6‐ O ‐ t  butyldimethylsilyl‐2,3‐di‐ O ‐methyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin as the chiral stationary phase has been developed and validated for the determination of the enantiomers of 1,2‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐sn‐glycerol (IPG), an important chiral synthon, in kinetic resolution experiments. After liquid‐liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, the enantiomers of R ‐(–)‐IPG and S ‐(+)‐IPG and their corresponding butyrate‐ and caprylate esters were baseline separated using this chiral GC method. The method was accurate, reproducible, specific, and precise and recoveries of at least 77% were accomplished. The detection limits for IPG and its esters were 0.6 ng and 0.1 ng, respectively. The application of this method was demonstrated by a kinetic resolution experiment using the lipase A of Bacillus subtilis .
