The development of two new chemically bonded chiral ligand-exchange ch
romatographic phases is described. These phases were prepared by bindi
ng L-proline to silica gel via different spacer groups. The influence
of the structure of the spacer on the enantioselectivity was studied.
These phases showed enantioselectivity of enantiomer separation for ma
ny classes df substance that form chelate complexes, such as amino aci
ds, dansylamino acids, dipeptides, hydroxy acids and barbiturates.
