Separating agent for optical isomers

摘要

A separating agent for optical isomers which contains a polysaccharide derivative as an active ingredient, wherein the polysaccharide derivative serving as an active ingredient is one formed by replacing at least part of the hydrogen atoms of the hydroxyl groups and amino groups of a polysaccharide with at least one member selected out of a benzoyl group having a specific alkyl group and a carbamoyl group in which one hydrogen atom has been replaced with an aromatic group having a specific alkyl group. It is a novel separating agent for optical isomers which has the high ability to asymmetrically identify the target compound to be analyzed and isolated.
