α‐Methoxy‐α‐trifluoromethylpropionic Acid (MTPr). A New Chiral Derivatizing Reagent for GC Separation of Enantiomeric Amino Acids.

A title homochiral acid has been synthesized and shown to be an efficient chiral derivatizing reagent for capillary gas chromatographic separation of enantiomeric amino acids at considerably low column temperature.
