Abstract
The technique of molecular imprinting was tested using various phenylalanine derivatives. It could be shown that polymers obtained by imprinting with L‐p‐aminophenylalanine anilide gave best recognition of the original L‐form, with separation factors (α) above 8, on applying racemic mixtures to the polymer obtained and present in a HPLC column. We believe that these results are due to multiple points of attachment that are possible between print or template (guest) molecules and the formed polymer (host).
