Methionine dipeptide stationary phases for the resolution of enantiomers.
N-Trifluoroacetyl-L-methionyl-L-methionine cyclohexyl ester as well as the disulfide and disulfone derivatives of this phase have been synthesized. The methionine phase exhibits improved properties as a stationary phase for the separation of amino acid enantiomers as compared to other dipeptide stationary phases and can be used at temperatures ranging from 70 to 150 degrees. The sulfoxide phase, however, was incapable of resolving the enantiomeric derivatives. Physical properties of the sulfone compound limit its use as an effective resolving agent.
