AN OPTICALLY ACTIVE REAGENT AND A METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ENANTIOMERIC AMINE COMPOUNDS

摘要

A new chiral reagent of formula (I), wherein X is halogen, an azide group or a succinimidyl group and wherein R is an alkyl group or a trifluormethyl group. The invention further relates to a method for derivatization, determination and preparative resolution of primary and secondary amino-containing compounds. The method comprises the steps of derivatizing the amino function by said reagent to form diastereomeric carbamates, which are determined by e.g. fluorimetry or absorptiometry after separation by liquid chromatography.
