Enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of N-methyloxycarbonyl unsaturated amino acids on macrocyclic glycopeptide stationary phases.
This paper describes the enantiomeric resolution of a series of unsaturated N-methyloxycarbonyl-alpha-H-alpha-amino acids (N-MOC-alpha-amino acids) on macrocyclic glycopeptide stationary phases by means of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Three types of glycopeptide phases, i.e. Chirobiotic T, V and R, were evaluated in both reversed-phase (RP) and polar ionic mode (PIM). The best results in terms of enantioselectivity and resolution were obtained on Chirobiotic R phase, with the PIM mobile phase giving the highest resolution per min. Investigation of the pH of the reversed-phase mobile phase in the pH range 4.1-5.9 showed little effect on enantioselectivity. The method was applied for monitoring the conversion and product enantiomeric excess of an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction using N-MOC-alpha-H-alpha-amino acid esters as substrate.
