Abstract

Zirconia is known to be one of the best materials for the chromatographic support due to its excellent chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability. In this work, we report preparation and use of 9- O-(phenyloxycarbonyl)quinine-bonded carbon-clad zirconia (QNCZ) as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for separation of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) (DNP)-amino acids (AAs) enantiomers in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Retention and enantioselectivity of the QNCZ CSP were compared with those of quinine 3-triethoxysilylpropylcarbamate-coated zirconia (QNZ) and quinine 3-triethoxysilylpropylcarbamate-bonded silica (QNS). The QNCZ CSP showed in general the better enantioselectivity for most of the amino acids studied.
