Resolution of enantiomers by HPLC on tris(4-alkoxyphenylcarbamate)s of cellulose and amylose

Ten phenylcarbamate derivatives of cellulose and amylose having alkoxy groups such as ethoxy, isopropoxy, and isobutoxy at 4-position, and methyl groups at 3- and 5-positions and methoxy group at 4-position were synthesized and their chiral recognition abilities as stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography were investigated and compared to those with tris(4-methoxyphenylcarbamate)s of cellulose and amylose. In 4-alkoxy derivatives of cellulose, chiral recognition ability increased as the bulkiness of 4-alkoxy groups increased. 4-Isopropoxy and 4-isobutoxy derivatives showed high chiral recognition. On the other hand, chiral discrimination of amylose 4-alkoxy derivatives scarcely depended on the bulkiness of the alkoxy group, and 4-methoxy and 4-isopropoxy derivatives showed high chiral recognition. 3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxyphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose possessed higher chiral recognition ability than the corresponding 4-methoxy derivatives. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Immobilization and chromatographic evaluation of novel regioselectively substituted amylose‐based chiral packing materials for HPLC

The regioselectively substituted amylose derivatives bearing a 4‐tert‐butylbenzoate or 4‐chlorobenzoate group at 2‐position, and 3,5‐dichlorophenylcarbamate and a small amount of 3‐(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamate groups at 3‐ and 6‐positions were synthesized by a two‐step process based on the esterification of 2‐position of a glucose unit. The obtained derivatives were effectively immobilized onto macroporous silica gel by intermolecular polycondensation of triethoxysilyl groups. Their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as chiral packing materials (CPMs) for high‐performance liquid chromatography. These CPMs showed high chiral recognition as well as the conventional coated‐type CPM, and can be used with the eluents‐containing chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. With the extended use of these eluents, improvement of chiral recognition and reversed elution orders were realized. For some racemates, the immobilized CPM exhibited ability comparable or better to the commercial immobilized amylose‐ or cellulose‐based columns, Chiralpak IA, IB, and IC.

Enantioseparation by HPLC using phenylcarbonate, benzoylformate, p-toluenesulfonylcarbamate, and benzoylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose as chiral stationary phases

Phenylcarbonate, benzoylformate, and p-toluenesulfonylcarbamate of cellulose and five new benzoylcarbamate derivatives of both cellulose and amylose were synthesized and their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Cellulose benzoylcarbamate has a higher chiral recognition ability compared to phenylcarbonate, p-toluenesulfonylcarbamate, and benzoylformate of cellulose. The benzoylcarbamate derivatives exhibited a characteristic chiral recognition for the racemates, which bear a hydrogen atom capable of hydrogen bonding to the carbonyl group of the benzoylcarbamates. The structures of the benzoylcarbamates were investigated by CD spectroscopy.     

Reversed-phase liquid chromatographic enantioseparation by cycloalkylcarboxylates of cellulose and amylose

Three novel cycloalkylcarboxylates, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and 1-adamantylcarboxylates of cellulose and amylose were prepared and their chiral recognition abilities as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were evaluated using a methanol-water mobile phase. Among these esters, cellulose tris(cyclohexylcarboxylate) showed a relatively high chiral recognition ability. The 1-adamantylcarboxylates of cellulose and amylose showed dissimilar chiral recognition abilities from the other two, probably due to the low degree of substitution and the high hydrophobicity of this group.     

Chromatographic enantioseparation by cycloalkylcarbamate derivatives of cellulose and amylose

Cyclopentyl and (+/-)-exo-2-norbornylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose were prepared and their chiral recognition abilities as chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were evaluated. Among these carbamates, cellulose tris(cyclopentylcarbamate) and amylose tris((+/-)-exo-2-norbornylcarbamate) showed particularly high chiral recognition, which is comparable to that of several well-known phenylcarbamate derivatives. The chiral recognition mechanism of cellulose tris(cyclohexylcarbamate), which was previously found to be an effective chiral stationary phase for HPLC, was investigated using NMR spectroscopy. The derivative dissolved in chloroform exhibited the chiral discrimination of several enantiomers in NMR as well as in HPLC. For example, the 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol enantiomers were distinctly discriminated in the (1)H, (13)C, and 2D-NOESY spectra.     

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.     

Immobilization and chiral recognition of 3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose bearing 4‐(trimethoxysilyl)phenylcarbamate groups

A small amount of 4‐(trimethoxysilyl)phenyl groups was randomly introduced onto the 3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose by a one‐pot method. The obtained derivatives were then effectively immobilized onto silica gel as chiral packing materials (CPMs) for high‐performance liquid chromatography through intermolecular polycondensation of the trimethoxysilyl groups. The effects of the amount of 4‐(trimethoxysilyl)phenyl groups on immobilization and enantioseparation were investigated. Also, the solvent durability of the immobilized‐type CPMs was examined with the eluents containing chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. When these eluents were used, the chiral recognition abilities of the CPMs for most of the tested racemates were improved to some extent depending on the compounds.

Preparation and evaluation of regioselectively substituted amylose derivatives for chiral separations

Six novel regioselectively substituted amylose derivatives with a benzoate at 2‐position and two different phenylcarbamates at 3‐ and 6‐positions were synthesized and their structures were characterized by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Their enantioseparation abilities were then examined as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after they were coated on 3‐aminopropyl silica gels. Investigations indicated that the substituents at the 3‐ and 6‐positions played an important role in chiral recognition of these amylose 2‐benzoate serial derivatives. The derivatives demonstrated characteristic enantioseparation and some racemates were better resolved on these derivatives than on Chiralpak AD, which is one of the most efficient CSPs, utilizing coated amylose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) as the chiral selector. Among the derivatives prepared, amylose 2‐benzoate‐3‐(phenylcarbamate/4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐6‐(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) exhibited chiral recognition abilities comparable to that of Chiralpak AD and may be useful CSPs in the future. The effect of mobile phase on chiral recognition was also studied. In general, with the decreased concentration of 2‐propanol, better resolutions were obtained with longer retention times. Moreover, when ethanol was used instead of 2‐propanol, poorer resolutions were often achieved. However, in some cases, improved enantioselectivity was achieved with ethanol rather than 2‐propanol as the mobile phase modifier.     

Enantioselective potential of polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases in supercritical fluid chromatography

The enantioselective potential of two polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases for analysis of chiral structurally diverse biologically active compounds was evaluated in supercritical fluid chromatography using a set of 52 analytes. The chiral selectors immobilized on 2.5 μm silica particles were tris‐(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarmabate) derivatives of cellulose or amylose. The influence of the polysaccharide backbone, different organic modifiers, and different mobile phase additives on retention and enantioseparation was monitored. Conditions for fast baseline enantioseparation were found for the majority of the compounds. The success rate of baseline and partial enantioseparation with cellulose‐based chiral stationary phase was 51.9% and 15.4%, respectively. Using amylose‐based chiral stationary phase we obtained 76.9% of baseline enantioseparations and 9.6% of partial enantioseparations of the tested compounds. The best results on cellulose‐based chiral stationary phase were achieved particularly with propane‐2‐ol and a mixture of isopropylamine and trifluoroacetic acid as organic modifier and additive to CO₂, respectively. Methanol and basic additive isopropylamine were preferred on amylose‐based chiral stationary phase. The complementary enantioselectivity of the cellulose‐ and amylose‐based chiral stationary phases allows separation of the majority of the tested structurally different compounds. Separation systems were found to be directly applicable for analyses of biologically active compounds of interest.     

Synthesis and HPLC chiral recognition of regioselectively carbamoylated cellulose derivatives

Four regioselective-carbamoylated cellulose derivatives having two different substituents at 2-, 3-, and 6-position were prepared and evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography. Investigations showed that the nature and arrangement of the substituents significantly influenced the chiral recognition abilities of the heterosubstituted cellulose derivatives and each derivative exhibited characteristic enantioseparation. Some racemates were better resolved on these derivatives than the corresponding homogeneously substituted cellulose derivatives including a commercial CSP, Chiralcel OD. Racemic compounds shown in this study were most effectively discriminated on cellulose 2,3-(3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate)-6-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) and 2,3-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-6-(3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate).     

Enantioseparation and molecular modeling study of chiral amines as three naphthaldimine derivatives using amylose or cellulose trisphenylcarbamate chiral stationary phases

This study describes the enantioseparation of three chiral amines as naphthaldimine derivatives, using normal phase HPLC with amylose and cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases (CSPs). Three chiral amines were derivatized using three structurally similar naphthaldehyde derivatizing agents, and the enantioselectivity of the CSPs toward the derivatives was examined. The degree of enantioseparation and resolution was affected by the amylose or cellulose-derived CSPs and aromatic moieties as well as a kind of chiral amine. Especially, efficient enantiomer separation was observed for 2-hydroxynapthaldimine derivatives on cellulose-derived CSPs. Molecular docking studies of three naphthaldimine derivatives of leucinol on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) were performed to estimate the binding energies and conformations of the CSP–analyte complexes. The obtained binding energies were in good agreement with the experimentally determined enantioseparation and elution order.     

Effect of Basic and Acidic Additives on the Separation of Some Basic Drug Enantiomers on Polysaccharide‐Based Chiral Columns With Acetonitrile as Mobile Phase

The separation of enantiomers of 16 basic drugs was studied using polysaccharide‐based chiral selectors and acetonitrile as mobile phase with emphasis on the role of basic and acidic additives on the separation and elution order of enantiomers. Out of the studied chiral selectors, amylose phenylcarbamate‐based ones more often showed a chiral recognition ability compared to cellulose phenylcarbamate derivatives. An interesting effect was observed with formic acid as additive on enantiomer resolution and enantiomer elution order for some basic drugs. Thus, for instance, the enantioseparation of several β‐blockers (atenolol, sotalol, toliprolol) improved not only by the addition of a more conventional basic additive to the mobile phase, but also by the addition of an acidic additive. Moreover, an opposite elution order of enantiomers was observed depending on the nature of the additive (basic or acidic) in the mobile phase.

Enantiomeric separation of some piperidine-2,6-dione drugs using chiralcel OJ-R column

A newly developed reversed phase cellulose tris(4-methyl benzoate) known as Chiralcel OJ-R was used to investigate the chiral recognition and enantiomeric separation of eight racemic piperidine-2,6-dione compounds—namely, aminoglutethimide and its major metabolite acetylaminoglutethimide, glutethimide, cyclohexylamino-glutethimide, pyridoglutethimide, thalidomide, phenglutarimide, and 3-phenylacetyl-amino-2,6-piperidinedione (antineoplaston A-10). Chiral separation of these compounds was achieved under varying ratios of the mobile phase, except for phenglutarimide and 3-phenylacetylamino-2,6-piperidinedione, for which separation was unsuccessful. Possible chiral recognition mechanisms are also presented. Chirality 9:10–12, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Efficient access to all four stereoisomers of phenylalanine cyclopropane analogues by chiral HPLC

Bonded polysaccharide‐derived chiral stationary phases were found to be useful for the preparation of the four stereoisomers of the cyclopropane analogue of phenylalanine (c₃Phe) as well as for the direct determination of the enantiomeric purity of c₃Phe derivatives by HPLC. Three chiral stationary phases, consisting of cellulose and amylose derivatives chemically bonded on allylsilica gel, were tested. The mixed 10‐undecenoate/3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate of cellulose, 10‐undecenoate/3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate of amylose and 10‐undecenoate/p‐methylbenzoate of cellulose were the starting polysaccharide derivatives for CSP‐1, CSP‐2, and CSP‐3, respectively. Using mixtures of n‐hexane/chloroform/2‐propanol as mobile phase on a semi‐preparative column (150 mm × 20 mm ID) containing CSP‐2, we separated about 1.7 g of racemic cis‐methyl 1‐tert‐butoxycarbonylamino‐2‐phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate (cis‐ 6 ) and 1.2 g of racemic trans‐methyl‐1‐tert‐butoxycarbonylamino‐2‐phenylcycloprop‐anecarboxylate (trans‐ 6 ) by successive injections.

Synthesis and Enantioseparation Ability of Xylan Bisphenylcarbamate Derivatives as Chiral Stationary Phases in HPLC

Ten novel xylan bisphenylcarbamate derivatives bearing meta‐ and para‐substituents on their phenyl groups were synthesized and their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as the chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after coating them on macroporous silica. The chiral recognition abilities of these CSPs depended on the nature, position, and number of the substituents on the phenyl moieties. The introduction of an electron‐donating group was more attractive than an electron‐withdrawing group to improve the chiral recognition ability of the xylan phenylcarbamate derivatives. Among the CSPs discussed in this study, xylan bis(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate)‐based CSP seems to possess the highest resolving power for many racemates, and the meta‐substituted CSPs showed relatively better chiral recognition than the para‐substituted ones. For some racemates, the xylan bis(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivative exhibited higher enantioselectivity than the CSP based on cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate).

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.

Chromatographic enantioseparation by poly(biphenylylacetylene) derivatives with memory of both axial chirality and macromolecular helicity

Novel poly(biphenylylacetylene) derivatives bearing two acetyloxy groups at the 2‐ and 2′‐positions and an alkoxycarbonyl group at the 4′‐position of the biphenyl pendants (poly‐ Ac 's) were synthesized by the polymerization of the corresponding biphenylylacetylenes using a rhodium catalyst. The obtained stereoregular (cis ‐transoidal ) poly‐ Ac 's folded into a predominantly one‐handed helical conformation accompanied by a preferred‐handed axially twisted conformation of the biphenyl pendants through noncovalent interactions with a chiral alcohol and both the induced main‐chain helicity and the pendant axial chirality were maintained, that is, memorized, after complete removal of the chiral alcohol. The stability of the helicity memory of the poly‐ Ac 's in a solution was lower than that of the analogous poly(biphenylylacetylene)s bearing two methoxymethoxy groups at the 2‐ and 2′‐positions of the biphenyl pendants (poly‐ MOM 's). In the solid state, however, the helicity memory of the poly‐ Ac 's was much more stable and showed a better chiral recognition ability toward several racemates than that of the previously reported poly‐ MOM when used as a chiral stationary phase for high‐performance liquid chromatography. In particular, the poly‐ Ac ‐based CSP with a helicity memory efficiently separated racemic benzoin derivatives into enantiomers.     

1,3,5-Triazine multiselector systems: New tools for chiral discrimination

2-Hexylamino-4-[(S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamino]-6-L-valyl-L-valyl-L-valine isopropylester-1,3,5-triazine (1), a molecule characterized by two different chiral selectors, and 2-hexylamino-4,6-bis-L-valyl-L-valyl-L-valine isopropylester-1,3,5-triazine (2) and 2-ethoxy-4-hexylamino-6-[(S)-1-(1-naphthyl) ethylamino]-1,3,5-triazine (3), systems in which a single kind of chiral selector is present, have been prepared. The enantiodiscriminating ability in solution of the three compounds toward the N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl derivatives of 1-phenylethylamine (4) or valine methylester (5) has been investigated by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy: 1 shows an improved versatility, relative to 2 and 3, as a chiral solvating agent for NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of the indications obtained, the usefulness of 2-chloro-4-[(S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamino]-6-L-val-L-val-L-valine isopropylester-1,3,5-triazine (1a), a direct precursor of 1, as chiral solvating agent for the determination by NMR of the enantiomeric compositions of derivatives of amines, amino alcohols, amino acids, and carboxyl acids bearing a 3,5-dinitrophenyl moiety, has been demonstrated.

Screening Approach for Chiral Separation of β‐Aminoketones by HPLC on Various Polysaccharide‐Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Nine β‐aminoketones were synthesized via Mannich reaction when benzaldehyde was condensed with some primary amines and acetophenone. The purified compounds were identified by using spectroscopic methods. The enantiomeric separation of these derivatives was carried out by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using several coated and immobilized polysaccharide stationary phases, namely, Chiralcel^® OD‐H, Chiralcel^® OD, Chiralcel^® OJ, Chiralpak^® AD, Chiralpak^® IA, and Chiralpak^® IB using different mobile phases composed of n‐hexane and alcohol mixed in various ratios or pure ethanol or isopropanol. The retention behavior and selectivity of these chiral stationary phases were examined in isocratic normal phase mode. The results indicate that cellulose derivatives have higher enantioselectivity than amylose derivatives for the separation of racemic β‐amino ketones.

Enantioselective separation of enantiomeric amides on three amylose-based chiral stationary phases: Effects of backbone and carbamate side chain chiralities

A series of enantiomeric amides have been chromatographed on three amylose-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs): amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (AD-CSP), amylose tris (S-phenylethylcarbamate) (AS-CSP), and amylose tris(R-phenylethyl-carbamate) (AR-CSP). The relative retentions and enantioselectives of the solutes on the three CSPs were compared and basic structure-retention relationships developed to describe the chromatographic results. The data indicate that for these solutes the observed elution order was a function of the chirality of the amylose backbone, while the magnitude of the enantioselective separations was affected by the chirality of the carbamate side chain.
