Abstract

Abstract Polysiloxanes with chiral peptide side chains have been synthesized and used as stationary phases in gas chromatography. With these phases amino acid enantiomers can be separated as N-acyl esters. Due to temperature stability up to 230 °C all protein amino acids can be separated and the racemization of synthetic biologically active peptides controlled. The phases can be used to assign the absolute configuration of amino acids. A variety of other classes of compounds can be separated into their enantiomers using the chiral polysiloxanes, like hydroxy acids, sulfoxides, phosphorous compounds, glycols, atrop isomers, amines and alcohols. Various applications of these phases are described including investigations of enantiomer selectivity in nature.
