It is well known that
N-acyl dipeptide esters are the useful optically active stationary phases for gas chromatographic separation of amino acid enantiomers, but
N-acyl tripeptide esters give only smaller separation factors compared with the corresponding
N-acyl dipeptide ester phases although tripeptide derivatives contain a longer peptide chain than dipeptide derivatives. In order to investigate the effect of extending the peptide chain in optically active stationary phases containing a
s-triazine ring, we prepared the new
s-triazine derivative of tripeptide ester,
N,
N'-[2, 4-(6-ethoxy-1, 3, 5-triazine)diyl]-bis-(L-valyl-L-valyl-L-valine isopropyl ester) [I]. It was found that this new compound has more excellent property in relation to enantiomer separation (amino acid and amine) compared with the corresponding
s-triazine derivative of dipeptide ester,
N,
N'-[2, 4-(6-ethoxy-1, 3, 5-triazine)diyl]-bis-(L-valyl-L-valine isopropyl ester) [II]. For example, the separation factors for
N-TFAD-L-methionine isopropyl ester are 1.089 on [I] and 1.029 on [II] at 150°C, and for
N-TFA-
dl-α-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine are 1.072 on [I] and 1.044 on [II] at 160°C. On the other hand, the maximum permissible operating temperature of this new stationary phase with an open tubular glass column (about 200°C) is considerably higher than those of all published optically active stationary phases. For example, in the isothermal mode at 200°C,
N,
N'-di-PFP-DL-lysine isopropyl ester was separated within 15 min on a 34 m column.
