A novel type of zwitterionic HILIC stationary phase was prepared by covalently bonding the l-azido lysine on silica gel via click chemistry. The key intermediate azido lysine was synthesized by transformation the amino group in l-Boc-lysine to corresponding azido group and subsequent removal of the N-protected group (Boc). Finally, the azido lysine was covalently bonded to silica beads by click chemistry to get click lysine. Its structure was confirmed by FT-IR and elemental analysis. The new stationary phase showed good HILIC characteristics, when it was applied to separate polar and hydrophilic compounds, such as organic acids, cephalosporins and carbapenems. Compared with the commercial stationary phases, such as Atlantics HILIC and ZIC-HILIC, click lysine displayed better or similar chromatographic behaviors.
