Role of the charge in continuous beds in the chiral separation of hydroxy acids by ligand-exchange capillary electrochromatography
This paper deals with the chiral separation of hydroxy acids using diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride as a positive charge-providing agent in the continuous bed. The chiral continuous bed was prepared by in situ copolymerization of monomers, including an L-4-hydroxyproline derivative as a chiral selector. This phase was applied to the chiral separation of hydroxy monocarboxylic acids and hydroxy dicarboxylic acids, respectively. The influence of both the selector concentration and the charge-providing agent on retention and separation was investigated.
