Dichloro-, dimethyl-, and chloromethylphenylcarbamate derivatives of cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography

New dichloro-, dimethyl-, and chloromethylphenylcarbamate derivatives of cyclodextrins (CDs) were prepared and their enantiomeric recognition abilities were evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The effects of the type of cyclodextrins, the nature and position of the substituents on the phenyl ring, binding mode and spacer on the chiral recognition were studied in detail. No marked change of chiral recognition abilities was established by reversing the binding side of CDs (i.e., by the narrower [primary] opening of the cone-shaped CD to silica gel with the wider [secondary] opening sides). This result indirectly proves the previously drawn conclusion about the minor role of inclusion phenomena in chiral recognition in this case. Nevertheless, chiral recognition of these CSPs toward some compounds critically depends on the type of CDs used. All CD derivatives described in this study show rather low enantiomeric resolving abilities compared with corresponding polysaccharide (cellulose and amylose) derivatives, although very high enantioselectivity of separation was observed for a few compounds, such as racemic flavanone and cyclopropanedicarboxilic acid dianilide. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Enantioseparation of benzoxazolinone aminoalcohols and their aminoketone precursors,potential adrenergic ligands,by analytical and preparative liquid chromatography on amylose chiral stationary phases and characterization of the enantiomers

To obtain milligram amounts of the enantiomers of benzoxazolinone derivatives to be tested for binding to adrenergic sites, analytical HPLC methods using derivatized amylose chiral stationary phases were developed for the direct enantioseparation of benzoxazolinone aminoalcohols and their aminoketone precursors, derivatives with one or two chirals centers. The separations were made using normal phase methodology with a mobile phase of n‐hexane‐alcohol (ethanol, 1‐propanol, or 2‐propanol) in various proportions, and silica‐based amylose (tris‐3, 5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) Chiralpak AD and (tris‐(S)‐1‐phenylethylcarbamate) Chiralpak AS columns. The effects of concentration of various aliphatic alcohols in the mobile phase were studied. The best separation was achieved on Chiralpak AS, so preparative HPLC was set up with this chiral stationary phase using a mobile phase consisting of n‐hexane‐alcohol using isocratic conditions and multiple repetitive injections. Physicochemicals properties of enantiomers were reported The effect of structural features of the solutes on discrimination between the enantiomers was examined. Limit of detection (LD) and limit of quantification (LQ) were determined using both ultra‐violet (UV) and evaporative light‐scattering detection (ELSD). Chirality, 2009. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

Resolution of terfenadine enantiomers by beta-cyclodextrin chiral stationary phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

Enantiomers of terfenadine were resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral stationary phase (CSP) column packed with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) covalently bound to silica. Separation was achieved in both the reverse phase and normal phase modes. Resolution of enantiomers was confirmed by ultraviolet-visible absorption, circular dichroism, and mass spectral analysis.     

Structural features affecting chiral resolution of cannabimimetic enantiomers by amylose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate chiral stationary phase

The effect of structural features of six pairs of enantiomers of cannabimimetic compounds on their chromatographic resolution on an amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase was studied using various compositions of n-hexane with 2-propanol and ethanol. Structural analysis by molecular mechanics was also performed to verify that the 3D conformation within this family of compounds was preserved with substitution. The homologous enantiomeric pairs showed better resolution when there was an additional OH group near the chiral centers (position 7 on the cannabinoid structure). Better resolution was observed also for the enantiomeric pair that had the smaller alkyl side chain. These differences indicated that the additional OH group contributed to a better discrimination of the enantiomers by the chiral sites of the stationary phase and that the bulkier alkyl side chain reduced it. The chromatographic resolution of two enantiomeric pairs of nonclassical cannabinoids HU-249 and HU-250, HU-255 and HU-256, was compared both in ethanol and 2-propanol. Both enantiomeric pairs showed relatively high resolution and selectivity, but the rigid benzofuran analogs (HU-249 and HU-250) exhibited better resolution using 2-propanol, in spite of the flexibility of the open chain analog (HU-255 and HU-256) and its additional OH group. The elution order of all the cannabinoids was (+)/(?) using both solvents. Unusual solvent effects were displayed by one enantiomeric pair, Δ⁶-THC, which was resolved easily using 2-propanol, but whose elution order reversed with 1% ethanol in the mobile phase. Partial separation was obtained at 5% ethanol [elution order (+)/(?)] and full separation was obtained at 0.5% ethanol [elution order (?)/(+)]. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Enantioseparation using urea- and imide-bearing chitosan phenylcarbamate derivatives as chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography

Completely deacetylated chitosan was prepared by the treatment of commercial chitosan with 50% aqueous NaOH, and then derivatized into several new chitosan phenylcarbamate derivatives having a urea and an imide moiety at the 2-position of the glucosamine ring by the reaction with isocyanate and phthalic anhydride/isocyanate, respectively. The chitosan derivatives were coated on macroporous silica gel and evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography. The chiral recognition ability of the chitosan derivative was improved using the completely deacetylated chitosan. Among the novel chitosan derivatives, the 3,5-dimethyl-, 3,5-dichloro-, and 3,4-dichlorophenylcarbamate derivatives were found to possess relatively high chiral resolution abilities. The CSPs based on the chitosan phenylcarbamate-urea and -imide derivatives were stable in the presence of chloroform and ethyl acetate as a component of the eluents, and some racemates were better resolved by such eluents. The dichlorophenylcarbamate-imide derivatives showed a high chiral recognition for metal acetylacetonate complexes. The enantiomerization of Al(acac)3 was performed on the chitosan 3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate-imide derivative CSP and the resulting chromatogram showed a 26% (+)-isomer enrichment.     

Diphenylethanediamine (DPEDA) as chiral selector: VII. Efficient HPLC resolution of a series of underivatized diarylcarbinols on a chiral stationary phase based on C5-amide-bonded N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-DPEDA

Fast and efficient baseline separation of asymmetrically substituted diarylmethanols and 1,1-diarylethanols was achieved on an endcapped, amide-linked N-3,5-dinitrobenzoylated, (R, R)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine-derived chiral stationary phase (CSP). Optimal enantioselectivities on this CSP were obtained using 1% 2-propanol in n-heptane as the mobile phase. Enantiorecognition was found to be governed by π-basicity and the substitution pattern of the aromatic substituents. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Benzoylcellulose derivatives as chiral stationary phases for open tubular column chromatography

The application of cellulose-based stationary phases for chiral separations has been extended to open tubular column chromatography. Efficient columns were obtained by coating the capillaries with mixtures of chiral cellulose materials and conventional achiral stationary phases for gas chromatography. In this study, various siloxane and polyethylene glycol polymers were used as achiral components and mixed with different substituted benzoylcellulose derivatives as chiral components. Systematic investigations were carried out to determine the optimal ratio for the components of the stationary phase. Depending on the chromatographic mode—gas chromatography (GC) or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC)—the stationary phases were found to behave differently. The applicability of the technique was demonstrated by the resolution of various racemic compounds. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

HPLC with carbohydrate carbamate chiral phases: Influence of chiral phase structure on enantioselectivity

The enantioselective resolution of trans-stilbene oxide and of 23 chiral sulfoxides was investigated on cellulose and amylose tris(arylcarbamate) stationary phases coated on aminopropylated 7 μm spherical silica with 500 Å diameter pores. Cellulose tris-(3,5 dimethylphenylcarbamate) showed good resolving power for many of the sulfoxides and amylose tris-(3,5 dimethoxyphenylcarbamate) showed advantages for the resolution of certain sulfoxides which were not separated on other phases. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Direct high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation of etodolac enantiomers using chiral stationary phases

The enantiomers of the antiinflammatory drug Etodolac were separated without derivatization on Chiralcel OD and Pirkle (R)-DNBPG columns. Enantiomeric purity can be determined in less than 10 min. Optimization of separation was evaluated using various concentrations of 2-propanol (doped with TFA) in hexane as the mobile phase. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

HPLC enantioseparation on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as a chiral stationary phase: Influences of pore size of silica gel,coating amount,coating solvent,and column temperature on chiral discrimination

Cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) was coated on large-pore silica gels and used as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers. The influences of pore size of silica gel, coating amount of CDMPC, coating solvent, and column temperature on chiral discrimination were investigated. CSPs prepared with a large-pore silica gel having a small surface area showed higher chiral recognition. The amount of CDMPC adsorbed on the silica gel influenced the chiral recognition of some racemates. Loading capacity of racemates increased with an increase of the amount of CDMPC supported on the silica gel, and a CSP coated with 45% CDMPC by weight can be used for both analytical and semi-preparative scale separations. The CDMPC, coated using acetone as the coating solvent, exhibited, in many cases, higher enantioselectivity than that obtained with tetrahydrofuran F as the coating solvent. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Gas-chromatographic approach to probe the absence of molecular inclusion in enantioseparations by carbohydrates. Investigation of linear dextrins ("acyclodextrins") as novel chiral stationary phases

Acetylated/silylated maltooligosaccharides with different degrees of oligomerization have been tested as chiral stationary phases for enantioselective gas chromatography. The acyclic dextrin derivatives carrying tert-butyldimethylsilyl groups at the primary hydroxyl sites and acetyl groups at the secondary hydroxyl sites showed an unexpected ability for the enantioseparation of alpha-amino acid derivatives and halogenated compounds, in addition to some underivatized chiral compounds. Some examples of an improved enantioselectivity invoked by the linear CSPs as compared to that of cyclic oligosaccharides are demonstrated in this work. The results highlight the role of the polar external surface of the selector in lieu of the well-established inclusion mechanism of enantiorecognition by cyclic dextrins. Thus, the enantioseparation of chiral compounds on linear dextrin derivatives--devoid of a molecular cavity--sheds a new light on the mechanisms of enantiorecognition by cyclodextrin derivatives. In contrast to cyclodextrins, linear dextrins are readily accessible in both enantiomeric forms.     

The influence of solute structure,temperature, and eluent composition on the chiral separation of 21 aminotetralins on a cellulose tris-3,5-dimethylcarbamate stationary phase in high-performance liquid chromatography

In the present study 21 different chiral aminotetralins were used to investigate the mechanism behind their enantiomeric resolution (R_s) on a commercially available high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) cellulose tris-3,5-dimethylcarbamate stationary phase. The differences in the chemical structures of the aminotetralins used were never directly located on the chiral carbon. Their chromatographic behavior was studied for two eluent compositions at six different temperatures. Hydrogen bonding and π? π interactions are two possible solute–chiral stationary phase (CSP) interactions. Differences between the enantiomers in their spatial arrangement of positions involved in solute–CSP interactions were the major forces behind enantiomeric separation. Lowering the temperature increased the R_s for the aminotetralins having π-electrons not directly bonded to that part of the molecule where the hydrogen bonding with the CSP is located. Primary amines and secondary amines, with a sufficiently short N-alkyl substituent, showed a decrease of R_s with lower temperatures, all other aminotetralins yielding an increase of R_s with lower temperatures. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Benzoates of cellulose bonded on silica gel: Chiral discrimination ability as high-performance liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases

In order to generalize the recently described method for the insolubilization of polysaccharide derivatives to benzoates of cellulose, five mixed 10-undecenoate/benzoates of this polysaccharide have been prepared and linked to allyl silica gel by means of a radical reaction. The chiral recognition ability of the resulting materials when used as high-performance liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases was evaluated using heptane/2-propanol and heptane/chloroform mixtures as mobile phases.

HPLC on chiral support with polarimetric detection: application to conglomerate discovery

In conglomerates, each single crystal contains only one of the two possible enantiomeric forms--either dextrorotatory or levorotatory. The analysis of a single crystal by liquid chromatography on chiral support associated with chiroptical detection is a very efficient tool to reveal the occurrence of a conglomerate. In terms of rapidity and easiness, this method compares favorably with the classical methods used to show this occurrence. Two examples are provided.     

Chromatographic resolution of the chiral isomers of several beta-blockers over cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase.

The optical resolution of seven beta-blockers which have in common the N-isopropyl-3-aryloxy-2-hydroxypropylamine moiety was carried out by HPLC using the cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase to quantitatively characterize the enantioselectivity of these compounds. The capacity factors and separation factors at different column temperature were determined with some qualitative trends derived. A compensation effect was observed for these compounds where there exists an approximately linear relationship between the enantiomeric differences in enthalpic and entropic energies.     

Separation of nicotine and nornicotine enantiomers via normal phase HPLC on derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases

This paper describes the enantiorecognition of (±)nicotine and (±)nornicotine by high-performance liquid chromatography using two derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases (CSPs) operated in the normal phase mode. It was found that different substituents linked to the cellulose backbone significantly influence the chiral selectivity of the derivatized CSP. The results showed that, in general, the tris(4-methylbenzoyl) cellulose CSP (Chiralcel OJ) surpasses tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamoyl) cellulose CSP (Chiralcel OD). On the former column, the resolution (±)nicotine and (±)nornicotine enantiomers depended largely on mobile phase compositions. For the separation of the nicotine enantiomers, the addition of trifluoroacetic acid to a 95:5 hexane/alcohol mobile phase greatly improved the enantioresolution, probably due to enhanced hydrogen bonding interactions between the protonated analytes and the CSP. For (±)nornicotine separation, a reduction in the concentration of alcohol in the mobile phase was more effective than the addition of trifluoroacetic acid. Possible solute-mobile phase-stationary phase interactions are discussed to explain how different additives in the mobile phase and different substituents on the cellulose glucose units of the CSPs affect the separation of both pairs of enantiomers.

Chiral separation of tryptophan enantiomers by liquid chromatography with BSA-silica stationary phase

The separation of tryptophan enantiomers was carried out with medium-pressure liquid chromatography using BSA (bovine serum albumin)-bonded silica as a chiral stationary phase. The influence of various experimental factors such as pH and ionic strength of mobile phase, separation temperature, and the presence of organic additives on the resolution was studied. In order to expand this system to preparative scale, the loadability of sample and the stability of stationary phase for repeated use were also examined. The separation of tryptophan enantiomers was successful with this system. The data indicated that a higher separation factor (α) was obtained at a higher pH and lower temperature and ionic strength in mobile phase. Addition of organic additives (acetonitrile and 2-propanol) in mobile phase contributed to reduce the retention time of L-tryptophan. About 30% of the separation factor was reduced after 80 days of repeated use.     

Fast liquid chromatography for the resolution of chiral compounds

A Pirkle-concept chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from N-(1-naphthyl)leucine was evaluated for developing methods to reduce analysis times and investigating techniques in the rapid screening of a variety of chiral compounds over a given chiral selector. The effects of reduced column lengths and elevated temperatures were studied to shorten analysis times.     

Enantiomeric separation and recognition mechanism of 2-arylpropionic acid derivatives by high-performance liquid chromatography using a chiral column

An optical resolution of the amide derivatives of ibuprofen and the carbamate-alkylester derivatives of the trans-alcohol metabolite of loxoprofen and an analogous compound, CS-670, was studied by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The chiral columns SUMIPAX OA-4000 and OA-4100 were used to investigate the enantiomeric separation behavior of these derivatives using both reversed and normal mobile phases. A better separation factor (α) of the amide and the carbamate ester derivatives was obtained in the normal mobile phase than in the reversed mobile phase HPLC. In addition, the recognition mechanisms of both amide and carbamate ester enantiomers were investigated by ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It is suggested that the important driving forces for the enantiomeric separation are the formation of hydrogen bonding and the charge transfer complex between these derivatives and an active site of the chiral stationary phase. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
