Stereoisomeric flavor compounds part. LV: Stereodifferentiation of some chiral volatiles on heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin

Heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclo -dextrin proves to be a versatile chiral stationary phase for the direct differentiation of aroma-relevant enantiomers.     

Effect of analyte lipophilicity on the resolution of α‐ and β‐amino acids on liquid chromatographic ligand exchange chiral stationary phases

Separation of the two enantiomers of racemic α‐ and β‐amino acids on two ligand exchange chiral stationary phases (CSPs) prepared previously by covalently bonding sodium N‐((S)‐1‐hydroxymethy‐3‐methylbutyl)‐N‐undecylaminoacetate or sodium N‐((R)‐2‐hydroxy‐1‐phenylethyl)‐N‐undecylaminoacetate on silica gel was studied with variation of the organic modifier (methanol) concentration in the aqueous mobile phase. In particular, the variation of retention factors with changing organic modifier concentration in the aqueous mobile phase was found to be strongly dependent on both the analyte lipophilicity and the stationary phase lipophilicity. In general, the retention factors of relatively lipophilic analytes on relatively lipophilic CSPs tend to increase with increasing organic modifier concentration in the aqueous mobile phases while those of less lipophilic or hydrophilic analytes tend to increase. However, only highly lipophilic analytes show decreasing retention factors with increasing organic modifier concentration in the aqueous mobile phase on less lipophilic CSPs. The contrasting retention behaviors on the two CSPs were rationalized by the balance of the two competing interactions, viz. hydrophilic interaction of analytes with polar aqueous mobile phase and the lipophilic interaction of analytes with the stationary phase.     

Cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases in capillary gas chromatography. Part III: Hexakis(3-O-acetyl-2,6-di-O-pentyl)-α-cyclodextrin

The properties of hexakis(3-O-acetyl-2,6-di-O-pentyl)-α-cyclodextrin as a chiral stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography are described. For the first time the enantiomers of a series of different lactones are separated and their order of elution is assigned. Moreover, the enantiomers of trifluoroacetylated aldols and amino alcohols, the cyclic carbonates of 1,2-diols, 1,3-diols, O-alkylated glycerols, and some chiral pharmaceuticals are also separated on the new chiral phase. The modified α-cyclodextrin is stable above 200°C.     

Stereoisomeric flavor compounds,part LXI: Enantioselective analysis of aroma-relevant dihydrofuranones

The odor impression of the pure enantiomers of various chiral dihydrofuranones which are important flavor compounds has been evaluated by sniffing the well separated optical antipodes in the GC eluate from heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-TBDMS)-β-cyclodextrin as the chiral phase for capillary gas chromato-graphic separation. Liquid chromatographic separation has been achieved by the use of bonded β-cyclodextrin as the chiral stationary phase and methanol–water as eluent. Enantiomer separation in the latter was improved by addition of triethylammonium acetate to the eluent.     

Stereoisomeric flavor compounds. Part LXV: Preparative resolution of the enantiomers of chiral dihydrofuranones by recycling chromatography

Preparative resolution of the enantiomers of several chiral dihydrofuranones, known to be important flavor compounds, has been achieved by combining the use of bonded β-cyclo-dextrin as chiral stationary phase with closed-loop recycling chromatography. The purity of the separated enantiomers has been determined by chirospecific capillary GC analysis, using heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-TBDMS)-β-cyclodextrin as the chiral stationary phase.     

Diluted modified cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases – influence of the polysiloxane solvent: Heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin

The influence of different polysiloxane solvents on the efficiency and stereoselectivity of columns coated with mixtures of heptakis (2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin and the polysiloxanes was investigated. Generally, the enantioselectivity increased with decreasing polarity of the silicone solvent and/or increasing cyclodextrin concentration, with some exceptions. Thermodynamic investigations showed that a change of the diluting phase or the cyclodextrin concentration affects entropy as well as enthalpy differences between the diastereomeric cyclodextrin/solute complexes. As a consequence, a certain cyclodextrin/polysiloxane combination is superior to another only at a particular temperature.     

Enantioselective separation of chiral vicinal diols in capillary electrophoresis using a mono‐6A‐aminoethylamino‐β‐cyclodextrin as a chiral selector

This paper describes an improved access to mono‐6^A‐aminoethylamino‐β‐CD (β‐CDen), a very efficient cationic chiral selector for CZE in the separation of eight chiral aromatic vicinal diols. The β‐CDen concentration has a strong influence on the efficiency of enantioseparation. The effects of the pH and concentration of the BGE, the capillary temperature, and the applied voltage on the resolution and separation selectivity have been studied. Excellent chiral resolution was achieved under the optimal conditions of β‐CDen 10 mM, pH 10, 200 mM borate buffer at 15 kV and 20°C within 20 min. Moreover, the developed method was successfully applied to the determination of the enantiomeric purity of the catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction products.     

Extending the scope of enantiomer separation on diluted methylated β-cyclodextrin derivatives by high-resolution gas chromatography

High-resolution open-tubular columns coated with solutions of heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (Phase I) or heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-trifluoroacetyl)-β-cyclodextrin (Phase II) in moderately polar polysiloxanes such as OV-1701 (5% cyanopropyl/7% phenyl/88% methylpolysiloxane) and OV-225 (25% cyanopropyl/50% phenyl/25% methylpolysiloxane) are used for the gas chromatographic enantiomer separation of volatiles belonging to different classes of compounds. No derivatization procedures are necessary for most of the resolved chiral molecules. The chiral stationary phases can be operated between 25 and 190°C for extended periods of time. The enantiomer separation of saturated, unfunctionalized hydrocarbons clearly demonstrates the importance of molecular inclusion in chiral recognition using cyclodextrins for this class of compounds. The different, and in some cases complementary, selectivity of the Phases I and II is demonstrated.     

The effect of analyte lipophilicity on the resolution of α-amino acids on a HPLC chiral stationary phase based on crown ether

The effect of analyte lipophilicity on the resolution of α-amino acids on a chiral stationary phase based on chiral crown ether has been examined by the chromatographic resolution trends for the resolution of a homologous series of five α-amino acids with an alkyl group of different length at the chiral center. The retention factors (k₁ and k₂) for the two enantiomers and the separation factors (α) were found to depend on the lipophilicity of the α-amino acid. In general, the retention factors increased as the organic modifier content in the mobile phase increased, the degree of the enhancement of retention factors being dependent on the analyte lipophilicity. The separation factors also increased as the analyte lipophilicity and the organic modifier content in the mobile phase increased. Possible rationales for these behaviors have been proposed.     

Application of bromoacetate‐substituted β‐CD‐bonded silica particles as chiral stationary phase for HPLC

Bromoacetate‐substituted [3‐(2‐O‐β‐cyclodextrin)‐2‐hydroxypropoxy]propylsilyl‐appended silica particles (BACD‐HPS), an important and useful synthetic intermediate for preparation of novel types of macrocycles‐capped β‐CD‐bonded silica particles including crown ether/cyclam/calix[4]arene‐capped β‐CD‐bonded silica particles, have been prepared and used as chiral stationary phase for HPLC. This synthetic stationary phase is characterized by means of elemental analysis. For the first time, the chromatographic behavior of BACD‐HPS was systematically evaluated with several disubstituted benzenes and some chiral drug compounds under both normal and RP conditions in HPLC. The results show that BACD‐HPS has excellent selectivity for the separation of aromatic positional isomers and chiral isomers of some drug compounds when used as stationary phase in HPLC.     

Phenylcarbamoylated β‐CD: π‐Acidic and π‐basic chiral selectors for HPLC

Two types of chiral stationary phases for HPLC based on π‐acidic or π‐basic perphenylcarbamoylated β‐CDs were synthesized. The relative structural features of the two effective chiral selectors are discussed and compared in both normal‐phase and RP modes. In addition, the nature and concentration of alcoholic modifiers were varied for optimal separation in normal phase and the structural variation of the analytes was also examined. The results showed that hydrogen bonding, steric effect and π‐acidic–π‐basic interaction contributed greatly to enantioseparation. Upon comparison, some of the differences in the separation behavior of the two types of chiral stationary phases might be due to the π‐acidic or π‐basic phenylcarbamate groups.
