Although chiral separation has been one of the main topics of chromatographic practice for over twenty-five years, it still presents many difficulties. In this work, the ultrasonic dependence of chiral resolution was investigated at various temperatures to improve resolution and reduce analysis time. The chiral resolution was performed on recently commercialized two HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSP 1 and CSP 2) with the analogues of racemic N-acylnaphthylethylamines (1a-d) and racemic amino acid derivatives (2a-c, 3a-c) as analytes. The CSP 1 was prepared from a (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycinol and the CSP 2 was prepared from a (S)-N-3,5-(dinitrobenzoyl) leucine. From the comparison of the chromatographic results under sonic condition with those under non-sonic condition, we found that the ultrasound decreased the elution time in chiral chromatography at all temperatures and improved the enantioselectivity at high temperature (45, 50, 60 ${^{\circ}C}$).
