The application of (S)-N-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)phenylalanine methoxyethyl
ester, (S)-NIFE, as a new chiral derivatizing agent for the resolution of
compounds possessing an amino group is described. Its applicability is demo
nstrated by the resolution of proteinogenic amino acid enantiomers. The dia
stereomeric derivatives produced were separated by reversed-phase high-perf
ormance liquid chromatography. The effects of pH, excess reagent and reacti
on time on the derivatization kinetics, and the effects of pH and the organ
ic modifier on the separation, were investigated.
