A packing material for chromatographic use wherein an organosilane of formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl, alkoxy or hydroxyl group or a halogen atom, provided that at least one of them represents an alkoxy group or a halogen atom; X represents an --NHCO-- or --NH.sub.3.sup..+-. --OCO-- group; n is an integer of 2 to 4; and *C represents an asymmetric carbon atom, is grafted on an inorganic carrier having hydroxyl groups on the surface thereof as well as a method for the analysis of an enantiomer mixture using the same are disclosed.

Packing material for chromatographic use

A packing material for chromatographic use comprising an inorganic carrier having hydroxyl groups at the surface thereof having grafted thereon an organosilane derivative selected from the group consisting of a urea derivative obtained by reacting an optically active isocyanate with an aminoalkylsilane, an N-carbomoyl amino acid derivative obtained by reacting an optically active amino acid carbamoylated by isocyanate with an aminoalkylsilane and an O-carbamoyl hydroxy acid derivative obtained by reacting an optically active hydroxy acid carbamoylated by isocyanate with an aminoalkylsilane is disclosed. This packing material is useful as a packing material for liquid chromatography analysis which comprises separating and analyzing an enantiomer mixture of a compound having an --OH group, a --CONH-- group, ##STR1## a --COO-- group, an --NHCOO-- group, an --NHCONH-- group or ##STR2## bonded to an asymmetric carbon atom thereof.
