The influences of pH, length of alkyl chain of L-tartraic esters, organic solvents and concentrations of phosphate salt on partition coefficient(K) and separation factor(α) were investigated. The results show that L-tartaric esters studied all form more stable diastereomeric complexes with D-enantiomer than with L-enantiomer. With rise of pH, K decrease, but α increase. With addition of length of alkyl chain of L-tartaric esters, K and α decrease. Organic solvents and concentrations of phosphate salt also show a great influence on K and α. K L, K D and α are 2.523, 2.674 and 1.06, respectively, when mandelic acid enantiomers were extracted by di-O-pentyl-L-tartaric ester in n-decanol at pH=2.3.展开更多
