✦ Synopsis
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the enantiomeric analysis of a mixture of an a-amino acid and the corresponding acid amide is described. Reversed-phase chromatography with copper(I1) acetate and N,N-di-n-propyl-Lalanine in the mobile phase are used for the separation. For Val and Val-NH2, several parameters affecting retention and enantioselectivity were investigated. The results indicate that by manipulation of pH, ionic strength, temperature, concentration of Cu", N,N-di-n-propyl-L-alanine and ion-pairing reagent, good control of enantiomeric separation can be achieved. For a-amino acid amides a mechanism is proposed which may account for the retention and enantioselectivity. Examples of enantiomeric analysis of mixtures of a-amino acids and a-amino acid amides with aliphatic, aromatic and polar side-chains are given. The method can be used for the control of the enantiomeric purity of a-amino acids and the corresponding acid amides obtained by enantioselective synthesis.

A study developing enantiomeric separations by metal chelate additives to the mobile phase in reversed-phase liquid chromatography is reported. In particular the use of Cu(I1) complexes of L-prolinamide (L-ProNH,) and Lvalinamide (L-ValNH,) is examined and discussed. Interestingly, for a series of D
