Diphenylethanediamine (DPEDA) derivatives as chiral selectors: IV. A comparison of 3,5-dinitrobenzoylated (S,S)- and (S,R)-DPEDA-derived chiral stationary phases with Pirkle's standard (R)-phenylglycine-derived phase in normal phase HPLC

Undecanoyl bound 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-(S,R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine [(1S,2R)-DNB-DPEDA] as chiral selector (SO) has been synthesized and used as a chiral stationary phase (CSP II) for normal-phase enantioselective HPLC. It is compared with the already published diastereomeric (1S,2S)-DNB-DPEDA-derived CSP I and with the “standard” Pirkle DNB-(R)-phenylglycine-derived CSP III. Chromatographic data for about 100 racemic analytes reveal that CSP II is able to separate especially well enantiomers of derivatized aromatic carboxylic acids and analytes having a benzyl substituent bound at the chiral center. However, CSP I was found to be superior to CSP II and III in its general applicability and its ability to resolve enantiomers of heterocyclic drugs. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Synthesis and stereochemical characterization of optically active 1,2-diarylethane-1,2-diols: useful chiral controllers in the Ti-mediated enantioselective sulfoxidation

The series of phenylsubstituted 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diols 2a-h was prepared in high chemical (70--80%) and optical yields (approximately 90%) by Sharpless syn-dihydroxylation of the corresponding (E)-1,2-diarylethenes, in turn obtained by McMurry or Wittig reactions. The enantiomeric excesses of the samples were determined by HPLC analysis using Chiralcel OD chiral stationary phase (CSP). This CSP was able to resolve all the diols, except for 2g, with alpha values ranging between 1.10--1.64. In all cases the (R,R) antipode was eluted first. (R,R) absolute configuration was assigned to the dextrorotatory (CHCl(3)) diols 2a--h by analyzing the CD spectra of their 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes 3a--h. In fact, the CD spectra of all these dioxolanes present a positive couplet (210--180 nm range) which can be nonempirically related to an (R,R) absolute configuration of the two stereocenters.     

Enantioselective and diastereoselective separation of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides on a novel chiral stationary phase by high-performance liquid chromatography

A novel chiral packing material for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was prepared by connecting (R)-1-phenyl-2-(4-methylphenyl) ethylamine (PTE) amide derivative of (S)-isoleucine to aminopropyl silica gel through 2-amino-3,5-dinitro-1-carboxamido-benzene unit. This chiral stationary phase was applied to the enantioselective and diastereoselective separation of five pyrethroid insecticides by HPLC under normal phase condition. To achieve satisfactory baseline separation an optimization of the variables of mobile phase composition was required. The two enantiomers of fenpropathrin and four stereoisomers of fenvalerate were baseline separated using hexane-1,2-dichloroethane-2-propanol as mobile phase. The results show that the enantioselectivity of CSP is better than Pirkle type 1-A column for these compounds. Only partial separations for the cypermethrin and cyfluthrin stereoisomers were observed. Seven peaks and eight peaks were observed for cypermethrin and cyfluthrin, respectively. The elution orders were assigned by using different stereoisomer-enriched products.     

Liquid chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of fluoroquinolone antibacterials on a chiral stationary phase based on a chiral crown ether

A chiral stationary phase (CSP) recently developed by bonding (diphenyl-substituted 1,1'-binaphthyl) crown ether to silica gel for the liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers was applied to the resolution of investigational fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents including gemifloxacin (formerly LB20304a). All fluoroquinolone compounds used in this study were resolved quite well on the CSP. Especially, the resolution of gemifloxacin and its analogs on the CSP was excellent and even greater than that on the commercial Crownpak CR(+). The resolution was found to be dependent on the type and the content of organic, acidic, and inorganic modifiers added to the mobile phase and on the column temperature.     

Preparation of a New Chiral Stationary Phase Based on Macrocyclic Amide Chiral Selector for the Liquid Chromatographic Chiral Separations

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on macrocyclic amide receptor was prepared starting from (1R,2R)‐1,2‐diphenylethylenediamine. The new CSP was successfully applied to the resolution of various N‐(substituted benzoyl)‐α‐amino amides with reasonably good separation factors and resolutions (α = 1.75 ~ 2.97 and R_S = 2.89 ~ 6.82 for 16 analytes). The new CSP was also applied to the resolution of 3‐substituted 1,4‐benzodiazepin‐2‐ones and some diuretic chiral drugs including bendroflumethiazide and methylchlothiazide and metolazone. The resolution results for 3‐substituted 1,4‐benzodiazepin‐2‐ones and some diuretic chiral drugs were also reasonably good. Chirality 28:253–258, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A surface molecularly imprinted polymer as chiral stationary phase for chiral separation of 1,1′‐binaphthalene‐2‐naphthol racemates

Acrylamide (AM) was copolymerized with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in the presence of (R )‐1,1′‐binaphthalene‐2‐naphthol (BINOL) as the template molecules on the surface of silica gel by a free radical polymerization to produce a chiral stationary phase based on the surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP‐CSP). The SMIP‐CSP showed a much better separation factor (α = 4.28) than the CSP based on the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP‐CSP) without coating on the silica gel (α = 1.96) during the chiral separation of BINOL enantiomers by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The influence of the pretreatment temperature and the content of the template molecule ((R )‐BINOL) of the SMIP‐CSP, and the mobile phase composition on the separation of the racemic BINOL were systematically investigated.     

Spacer length effect of a chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing 11 methylene-unit spacer was prepared by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-carboxylic acid to aminoundecylsilica gel. The new CSP was superior to the one containing three methylene-unit spacer in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, beta-amino acids, amines, and amino alcohols in terms of both the separation (alpha) and the resolution factors (R(S)). In the resolution of alpha-amino acids on the new CSP containing a long spacer, the retention factors (k(1)) were quite small compared to those on the CSP containing a short spacer. However, in the resolution of relatively more lipophilic beta-amino acids, amines, and amino alcohols, the retention factors (k(1)) were generally greater on the CSP containing a long spacer than on the CSP containing a short spacer. All of these resolution behaviors have been rationalized by the effective competition of the ammonium ions (R-NH(3)(+)) generated by the residual undecylamino groups of the new CSP under acidic condition with the ammonium ions (R-NH(3)(+)) of analytes for the complexation inside the cavity of the crown ether ring of the CSP and the effective lipophilic interaction between the CSP and the relatively more lipophilic analytes.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of N-acyl-alpha-amino acids as their anilide derivatives on a chiral stationary phase based on (S)-leucine

A chiral stationary phase (CSP 1) derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine N-phenyl N-alkylamide was used for the liquid chromatographic resolution of anilide derivatives of N-acyl-alpha-amino acids and the chromatographic resolution results were compared with those from four other commercial CSPs. The chromatographic resolution results showed that CSP 1 was most effective among five CSPs used in this study. The chiral recognition mechanism exerted by CSP 1 for the resolution of anilide derivatives of N-acyl-alpha-amino acids is proposed to involve a face-to-face pi-pi interaction and two hydrogen bonding interactions between the CSP and the analytes from the chromatographic resolution behaviors of slightly modified anilide derivatives of N-acyl-alpha-amino acids. The chiral recognition mechanism proposed is quite similar to that advanced previously for the resolution of N-(3,5-methoxybenzoyl)-alpha-amino acids on CSP 1, even though the interaction sites of the two types of analytes were totally different from each other. The apparent similarity of the two chiral recognition mechanisms was assumed to stem from the identical interaction modes of the two types of analytes with the CSP. In addition, the dependence of the enantioselectivity of anilide derivatives of N-acyl-alpha-amino acids on the length of the alkyl tail of the N-acyl group of analytes was rationalized to stem from the intercalation of the N-acyl group of the (R)-enantiomer of analytes between the tethers of the CSP.     

NMR studies of chiral discrimination relevant to the enantioseparation of N-acylarylalkylamines by an (R)-phenylglycinol-derived chiral selector

Recently, it was reported that the chiral recognition ability of (R)-N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl phenylglycinol derivative was examined as a new HPLC chiral stationary phase (CSP 1) for the resolution of racemic N-acylnaphthylalkylamines. However, the mechanism of chiral discrimination on the CSP remained elusive until now. In this study, a spectroscopic investigation of the chiral discrimination mechanism of CSP 1 was undertaken using mixtures of (R)-N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl phenylglycinol-derived chiral selector (2) and each of the enantiomers of N-acylnaphthylalkylamines (3) by NMR study. First, the differences in free energy changes (DeltaDeltaG) upon diastereomeric complexation in solution between the complex of each isomer with chiral selector 2 by NMR titration were calculated. The values were then compared with those estimated by chiral HPLC. The chemical shift changes of each proton on the chiral selector and analytes were also checked and it was found that the chemical shift changes decreased continuously as the acyl group on analytes increased in length. This observation was consistent with the HPLC data. From these experimental results, the interaction mechanism of chiral discrimination between the chiral selector and the analytes is more precisely explained.     

Liquid chromatographic direct resolution of tocainide and its analogs on a (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6-based chiral stationary phase containing residual silanol protecting n-octyl groups

Optically active (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing residual silanol protecting n-octyl groups on silica surface was applied to the liquid chromatographic direct resolution of tocainide and its analogs. The chiral recognition ability of the CSP was excellent, the separation (alpha) and the resolution factors (R(S)) for 15 analytes including tocainide being in the range of 3.02-22.92 and 3.94-20.41, respectively. In addition, the chiral recognition ability of the CSP was much greater than that of (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6-based CSP containing residual silanol groups on the silica surface. The chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of tocainide and its analogs were found to be dependent on the content and the type of organic and acidic modifiers and the ammonium acetate concentration in aqueous mobile phase.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of 3-amino-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones on crown ether-based chiral stationary phases

3-Amino-5-phenyl (or 5-methyl)-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones, which are chiral precursors of anti-respiratory syncytial virus active agents, were resolved on three different chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid or (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6. Among the three CSPs, the CSP that is based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6 and containing residual silanol group-protecting n-octyl groups on the silica surface was found to be most effective with the use of 80% ethanol in water containing perchloric acid (10 mM) and ammonium acetate (1.0 mM) as a mobile phase. The separation factors (α) and resolutions (R(S) ) were in the range of 1.90-3.21 and 2.79-5.96, respectively. From the relationship between the analyte structure and the chromatographic resolution behavior, the chiral recognition mechanism on the CSP based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid was proposed to be different from that on the CSP based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6. In addition, the chromatographic resolution behavior of the most effective CSP was investigated as a function of the composition of aqueous mobile phase containing organic and acidic modifier and ammonium acetate.     

Immobilization of difunctional building blocks on hydroxysuccinimide activated silica: versatile in situ preparation of chiral stationary phases.

Several brush-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on undecanoyl- or butanoyl-bound (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine (DPEDA) as chiral selector were prepared by an innovative, fast, and less expensive kind of preparation. The key to this method is the immobilization of the enantiomeric pure diamine with only one amino function in a simple substitution reaction on hydroxysuccinimide ester-activated silica. No excess chiral material is lost. Loading can be easily monitored analyzing the filtrate. The free second amino function can subsequently be acylated with different acyl halogenides. Examples with benzoyl- and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl (DNB) amides show that, based on our new approach, a library of differently acylated Pirkle-type CSPs can easily be obtained. A benzoylated analog of the commercially available ULMO CSP is shown to be very effective in separating enantiomers of N-acyl amino acids.     

Improvement of the enantiorecognition ability of tyrosine-derived chiral stationary phases: Direct resolution of 1,2-amino-alcohols (β-blockers)

A novel chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from tyrosine is evaluated with regard to the first generation commercially available (S)-ChyRoSine-A CSP, under normalphase or reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (NPLC or RPLC) and subcritical fluid chromatographic (SubFC) conditions. The complete scope of application of these CSPs is reviewed. The novel CSP, which bears a bulkier functional group, displays a higher enantiorecognition ability than previously described (S)-ChyRoSine-A toward about 15 families of racemates, whatever the mobile phase conditions. The direct enantiomeric separation of 1,2-amino-alcohols (β-blockers) is carried out on both CSPs. Facile separations are achieved within short analysis times using SubFC mode, whereas very poor separations are obtained using NPLC mode. These results disagree with previous theories (interchangeability between NPLC and SubFC modes).     

Resolution of the enantiomers of ibuprofen; comparison study of diastereomeric method and chiral stationary phase method

In this study, an indirect diastereomeric method and a direct method utilizing a chiral stationary phase (CSP) were investigated for the resolution of ibuprofen enantiomers. In the indirect method, ethylchloroformate (ECF) and 2-ethoxy-1-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) were utilized as first-step derivatizing reagents in acetonitrile or toluene. In the direct CSP method, ibuprofen enantiomers were derivatized to p-nitrobenzyl ureides and then resolved on an (R)-(−)-(1-naphthyl)ethylurea CSP column. The derivatization procedure took place in 10 min with an overall inversion efficiency of 90.3%. Racemization was not observed under the derivatization conditions used. The HPLC-CSP method was utilized to study the pharmacokinetics of ibuprofen enantiomers in dog plasma after a single oral administration of 200 mg of ibuprofen racemate.     

The direct chiral separations of fungicide enantiomers on amylopectin based chiral stationary phase by HPLC

Amylopectin-tris(phenylcarbamate) was synthesized and coated to aminopropylsilica to prepare chiral stationary phase. The chiral separations of fungicide enantiomers were performed by the CSP using high-performance liquid chromatography. Mobile phase was n-hexane and isopropanol, and flow rate was 1.0 ml/min. Detection wavelength was 230 nm. The influence of the percentage of isopropanol in the mobile phase on the separations was studied. Twelve chiral fungicides were tested and seven of them were found to show stereoselectivity on the CSP. The enantiomers of metalaxyl and benalaxyl got near baseline separations and myclobutanil, hexconazole, tebuconazole, uniconazole, and paclobutrazol enantiomers were completely separated. The decreasing percentage of isopropanol in the mobile phase resulted in better separation and longer analysis time. The enantiomers were identified by a circular dichroism (CD) detector and the CD spectra of the individual enantiomers were also studied by online scanning.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of cyclic sulfoximides and their sulfoxide precursors on an N,N′-diallyl-L-tartardiamide-based chiral stationary phase

Two O,O′-diaroyl derivatives of an N,N′-diallyl-L-tartardiamide-based CSP, 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl (CSP I) and 4-tert-butylbenzoyl (CSP II), have been investigated and compared with respect to retention behaviour and resolving capabilities of a series of endocyclic sulfoximides of the 1-R-3-oxo-benzo[d]-isothia (IV)-azole 1-oxide type (R = methyl, octyl, 2′-carboxyphenyl, and 2′-carbethoxyphenyl) and their corresponding sulfoxide precursors. For the sulfoximides, selectivities of 1.44, 1.27, 1.28, and 1.20, respectively, were found on CSP II when eluted with 15% 2-propanol in hexane. Both the sulfoximide compounds and their sulfoxide precursors are well resolved by CSPs I and II. The retention was larger on the former phase, indicating that the molecular skeletons of the analytes studied interact, through hydrogen bonding, more strongly with CSP I than CSP II.

Chiral stationary phases in concert with homologous chiral mobile phase additives: Push/pull model

A new “push/pull” model has been developed to explain synergistic effects observed in a system in which a chiral stationary phase (CSP) is used in combination with its homologous chiral mobile phase additive (CMPA). The model predicts the beneficial CMPA enantiomer and the counterproductive CMPA enantiomer a priori. Thus, an (R)-CSP will obtain positive synergism from a homologous (S)-CMPA and negative synergism from a homologous (R)-CMPA. The reverse is true for an (S)-CSP. The importance of structural homology between the CSP and the CMPA is demonstrated. Furthermore, the analysis time is decreased relative to the use of a CSP alone, because the retention time of the analyte peaks decreases when the CMPAs are used. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Synthesis of new C3 symmetric amino acid‐ and aminoalcohol‐containing chiral stationary phases and application to HPLC enantioseparations

We recently reported a new C3‐symmetric (R)‐phenylglycinol N‐1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylic acid‐derived chiral high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase (CSP 1) that demonstrated better results as compared to a previously described N‐3,5‐dintrobenzoyl (DNB) (R)‐phenylglycinol‐derived CSP. Over a decade ago, (S)‐leucinol, (R)‐phenylglycine, and (S)‐leucine derivatives were used as the starting materials of 3,5‐DNB‐based Pirkle‐type CSPs for chiral separation. In this study, three new C3‐symmetric CSPs (CSP 2, 3, and 4) were prepared by combining the ideas and results mentioned above. Here we describe the synthetic procedures and applications of the new C3‐symmetric CSPs (CSP 2–CSP 4).     

Preparative chiral chromatography and chiroptical characterization of enantiomers of omeprazole and related benzimidazoles

To chiroptically characterize the enantiomers of omeprazole and some structurally related benzimidazoles with circular dichroism (CD), preparative chiral liquid chromatography was utilized for the isolation of the pure enantiomers. A limited analytical column screen was performed identifying Kromasil-CHI-TBB and the amylose-based phases Chiralpak AD and AS as possible chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the preparative scale separation of the enantiomers of the different benzimidazoles. Optimization of the chromatographic conditions with respect to retention, enantioseparation, and resolution was achieved by variation of the mobile phase constituents as well as of temperature. Because of the lability of the compound in slightly acidic media, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) could not be applied for a preparative scale separation of the enantiomers. The separation of omeprazole was optimized to give high throughput (2.6 kg racemate/kg CSP/day) and high enantiomeric excess of the obtained isomers. The absolute configurations of the pure enantiomers of rabeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole were determined from the strong correlation to the CD spectrum of (+)-(R)-omeprazole. For all the compounds, the (+)-enantiomers displayed similar chiroptical features as (+)-(R)-omeprazole and were thus assigned the (R)- configuration. Elution order of the optical isomers was monitored by injecting racemic solutions spiked with one of the isomers and also by an on-line laser polarimeter. Both the type of CSP and also the mobile phase constituents had a strong effect on elution order of the enantiomers.     

Preparation and enantioseparation of a mixed selector chiral stationary phase derived from benzoylated tartaric acid and 1,2‐diphenylethylenediamine

L ‐Dibenzoyl tartaric acid was mono‐esterified with benzyl alcohol, and then chlorinated with SOCl₂ to give (2S,3S)‐1‐(benzyloxy)‐4‐chloro‐1,4‐dioxobutane‐2,3‐diyl dibenzoate (Selector 1 ). (1R,2R)‐1,2‐Diphenylethylenediamine was mono‐functionalized with phenyl isocyanate and phenylene diisocyanate in sequence to give (1R,2R)‐1,2‐diphenyl‐2‐(3‐phenylureido)ethyl 4‐ isocyanatophenylurea (Selector 2 ). Two brush‐type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) of single selector were prepared by separately immobilizing selectors 1 and 2 on aminated silica gel. Selectors 1 and 2 were simultaneously immobilized on aminated silica gel to give a mixed selector CSP. The enantioseparation ability of these CSPs was studied. The CSP of selector 1 has strongest separation ability, while the enantioseparation ability of the mixed selector CSP is relatively lower. Chirality 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
