Abstract
Twelve chiral compounds were enantiomerically resolved on bovine serum albumin chiral stationary phase (BSA-CSP) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in reversed-phase modes. Chromatographic conditions such as mobile phase pH, the percentage of organic modifier, and concentration of analyte were optimized for separation of enantiomers. For N-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl)-serine (DNP-ser), the retention factors (k) greatly increase from 0.81 to 6.23 as the pH decreasing from 7.21 to 5.14, and the resolution factor (R(s)) exhibited a similar increasing trend (from 0 to 1.34). More interestingly, the retention factors for N-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl)-proline (DNP-pro) decrease along with increasing 1-propanol in mobile phase (3%, 5%, 7% and 9% by volume), whereas the resolution factor shows an upward trend (from 0.96 to 2.04). Moreover, chiral recognition mechanisms for chiral analytes were further investigated through thermodynamic methods.
