Abstract

A chiral stationary phase (CSP) was synthesized by the modification of the chitosan using N-nicotinoyl phenylalanine and 3, 5-dimethylphenylisocyanate . The CSP based on the chitosan was then characterized in terms of their chemical structure and physical properties. To test its performance as a CSP, the silica powder with 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of diameter were coated with the CSP to pack a column for High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC). Using the packed column, several racemates were tried to separate under various separation conditions with different compositions of eluents.
