ReproSil Chiral-L-Hydroxy-Prolin

Silica-Based Chiral Phase Modified with L-Hydroxyproline for Enantioselective Chromatography

ReproSil Chiral-L-Hydroxy-Prolin is a silica-based HPLC stationary phase functionalized with the natural amino acid L-hydroxyproline, developed for enantioselective separations based on ligand-exchange, hydrogen bonding, and ionic interactions. The immobilized L-hydroxyproline provides a well-defined chiral environment capable of forming transient diastereomeric complexes with analytes containing carbonyl, hydroxyl, or amino groups near the stereogenic center.

The presence of both hydroxyl and secondary amine functional groups in L-hydroxyproline allows multiple interaction mechanisms, including acid–base interactions, metal coordination, and hydrogen bonding, giving the phase a broad selectivity range for polar and biologically relevant compounds. This makes ReproSil Chiral-L-Hydroxy-Prolin particularly effective for the resolution of amino acids, peptides, α-hydroxy acids, and other polar chiral molecules.

The chiral selector is covalently attached to high-purity spherical silica, ensuring high mechanical stability, reproducibility, and long column lifetime. The phase can be operated under aqueous, polar-organic, or ligand-exchange conditions, providing versatility in method development and compatibility with various analytical requirements. ReproSil Chiral-L-Hydroxy-Prolin is ideally suited for pharmaceutical, biochemical, and environmental laboratories that require reliable and reproducible chiral separations of polar compounds and biomolecule derivatives.

ReproSil Chiral-L-Hydroxy-Prolin utilizes the intrinsic chirality and coordinating functionality of L-hydroxyproline to achieve precise and reproducible enantioselective separations – the reliable choice for polar and biologically relevant compounds in advanced chiral chromatography.
