A chiral derivatizing reagent, N-succinimidyl-2-(S)-methoxy-2-phenylacetic acid ester (SMPA), directed toward reaction with primary amine-containing compounds has been synthesized and characterized. This reagent is suitable for HPLC resolution from enzymatic-scale reactions where only microgram quantities of chiral products may be obtainable.

We introduce a novel, HPLC-based method for facile determination of the absolute configuration of alpha-chiral amines. Our method is easily applied to a variety of compounds, including amino acid derivatives. The method involves initial derivatization of the chiral amine analyte
