The enantiomers of two different derivatives of tert ‐leucine were separated by continuous chromatography on chiral stationary phases applying the simulated moving bed technique. About 1 kg of racemic N ‐carbobenzoxy‐ tert ‐leucine was resolved on the cellulose‐based phase Chiralcel OD using a mixture of heptane/ethanol and 0.1% of trifluoroacetic acid modifier as the mobile phase, while 520 g of the N‐Boc‐ tert ‐leucine‐benzylester was resolved on the amylose‐based phase Chiralpak AD with a mixture of heptane/2‐propanol as the mobile phase. In both instances the corresponding enantiomers were obtained in high yield and high optical purity. Chirality 14:313–317, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
