The enantiomeric purity of twelve commercial 14C- and 3H-labeled L- α-amino acids was determined using reverse isotope dilution analysis. The technique utilized reversed-phase (RP) thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in the mobile phase to separate D- and L-amino acids as their 5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalene sulfonyl (dansyl, DNS) derivatives. In all cases, the L-amino acid was contaminated with the D- isomer. This is the first report of the resolution of N-DNS-DL-tyrosine and N-(α)-DNS-DL-lysine using this methodology.
