D-tryptophan and N-CBZ-D-phenylalanine were separated using ionic liquid as additives for the mobile phase in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (${[BMIm]}^+{[BF_4]}^-$) was used. Mobile phases were 65％, 70％, and 80％ methanol in water with addition of different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, and 15.0 mmol/L) of the ionic liquid. The experiments were performed on stainless steel column, $3.9{\times}300mm$ i.d., packed with $15{\mu}m$ octadecyl-bonded silica gel at laboratory.The retention factor of D-tryptophan was not negligibly changed while that of N-CBZ-D-phenylalanine was decreased. The resolution between the two components were affected by the contents of methanol and ionic liquid in the mobile phase. With the small content of methanol and the high concentration of ionic liquid, the resolution was improved.

In this work, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) using the template of the N-CBZ (carbobenzyloxy)-L-phenylalanine, MAA and 4-VPY as a monomer, EGDMA as a crosslinker and AIBN as an initiator were considered. The prepared polymer particles $(Ca.\;25-35\;{\mu}m)$ were packed into a chromatographic column $(3.9\;\times\;150\;mm)$. The chromatographic characteristics of the retention on the MIP were experimented with acetonitrile as a mobile phase at the flow rate of mobile phase, 0.5 ml/min. The retention factors and resolutions of chiral racemate of the N-CBZ-D, L-phenylalanine were measured. The results showed that the retention factor and resolution by the two co-monomer imprinting polymer were higher than the single monomer imprinting polymers, which indicated an increase in the affinity of the MIP with the sample as a result of the cooperation effect of the binding sites.
