A. Jegorov et al., 1-THIO-BETA-D-GALACTOSE AS A CHIRAL DERIVATIZATION AGENT FOR THE RESOLUTION OF D,L-AMINO ACID ENANTIOMERS, Journal of chromatography, 673(2), 1994, pp. 286-290
o-Phthaldialdehyde in combination with 1-thio-beta-D-galactose is a po
werful chiral reagent for the precolumn derivatization of primary amin
o acids. The diastereomers formed can be efficiently resolved on conve
ntional reversed-phase columns. Comparison of 1-thio-beta-D-galactose
with 1-thio-beta-D-glucose revealed that even the change of the config
uration of the remote OH group on the sugar moiety influences the reso
lution of D,L-amino acid derivatives.
