Abstract
Enantioseparation studies of proteinogenic, non-proteinogenic, and dansyl amino acids are described herein by using liquid chromatographic techniques, i.e., HPLC and TLC. A researcher who wants to perform amino acid (AA) analysis or separate enantiomers of AAs by HPLC or TLC can follow the method. Figures included represent the actual experiments.Synthesis and application of chiral derivatizing reagents (CDRs) based on cyanuric chloride (CC) and difluorodinitrobenzene (DFDNB) have been described for AA analysis and enantioseparation by indirect approach. The methods represent pre-column derivatization of AAs and represent a good and less expensive substitute of AA analyzer. The application of commercial "Chiralplate" and use of erythromycin and L-tartaric acid have been described as chiral selector either as impregnating reagent in the stationary phase or as an additive in the mobile phase for direct enantioseparation by TLC. Application of the homemade TLC plates has also been described; the methods are successful in obtaining the native enantiomer as well.
