Direct chiral resolution of underivatized amino acids on a stationary phase dynamically modified with the ion-exchanger N(τ) -decyl-L-spinacine.

Increasing attention has been devoted in the last decades to chiral chromatography, principally to high-performance liquid chromatography techniques using a chiral stationary phase. Many chiral high-performance liquid chromatography columns are commercially available, but, unfortunately, they are most often rather expensive. A cheap alternative to the commercial chiral columns is the dynamic-coating procedure of a standard achiral stationary phase with a chiral selector containing both a chiral domain and a chain or a group able to tightly (but noncovalently) bind the achiral support.
