From the Whelk chiral selector, we have elaborated the following simple enantiophore Chirbase queries using the strategy exposed above:

- Query 1: contains two aromatic groups. The “A” (any) atoms means that we allow the retrieval of heterocyclic systems
- Query 2: an aromatic group and a hydrogen-bond acceptor center. R1 is a complex generic group (not detailed here) which delimits the search to all group that provides a lone-pair electrons to the hydrogen bond.
- Query 3: an aromatic group and a hydrogen-bond donor center
- Query 4: One aromatic group and an amide group
All the queries have at least one lipophilic aromatic group
