AGENT FOR SEPARATING OPTICAL ISOMERS

摘要

An agent for separating optical isomers, which comprises, as the effective component thereof, a polysaccharide derivative wherein at least a part of hydrogen atoms of the hydroxyl groups of the polysaccharide is substituted with at least one of the groups represented by the general formulae (I) and (II): [wherein R represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or an aliphatic group of a linear chain, a branched chain or a ring form]. The agent for separating optical isomers exhibits improved separating performance.
