Chiral discrimination of primary amines by HPLC after labeling with a chiral derivatization reagent, trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)-cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride

Enantiomeric discrimination of chiral primary amines was performed by both reversed-phase HPLC and normal-phase HPLC after labeling with a chiral fluorescent derivatization reagent, (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride. Use of HPLC permits separation of diastereomeric derivatives of amines up to C30 which have a primary amino group at the middle of the alkyl chain. The derivatives of primary amines having an anteiso alkyl chain, which has a chiral branched-methyl at the n-3 position of the alkyl chain, were also separated by HPLC, and it was also possible to separate niphatesine D by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization.     

Solid-phase reagent containing the 3,5-dinitrophenyl tag for the improved derivatization of chiral and achiral amines, amino alcohols and amino acids in high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection

A solid-phase reaction technique is described for improved derivatization of aliphatic amines, amino alcohols and amino acids. A polymeric activated ester is used for the immobilization of the 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl group, which can then be used for derivatizations of strong or weak nucleophiles, while avoiding solution-phase derivatization conditions. The reagent is easily prepared and can be regenerated after use to attain its original reactivity. The resulting chromatograms are free of system peaks due to excess derivatizing reagent, and sample handling is kept to a minimum. The reagent can be used in conjunction with both reversed- and normal-phase chromatography and can be used for off-line gas chromatographic or high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) derivatizations. In addition, the reagent can be used on-line for derivatization in HPLC. Since the labelling reagent is a strong pi-acid, chiral substrates can be derivatized and separated on a Pirkle-type pi-donor column. The confirmation and quantitation of amphetamine in urine was accomplished using a polymer containing two labelling moieties, p-nitrobenzoyl and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl. The derivatization and separation of chiral and achiral amines, amino alcohols and amino acids is described.     

Catalytic Enantioselective Amination of Alcohols by the Use of Borrowing Hydrogen Methodology: Cooperative Catalysis by Iridium and a Chiral Phosphoric Acid

The catalytic asymmetric reduction of ketimines has been explored extensively for the synthesis of chiral amines, with reductants ranging from Hantzsch esters, silanes, and formic acid to H₂ gas. Alternatively, the amination of alcohols by the use of borrowing hydrogen methodology has proven a highly atom economical and green method for the production of amines without an external reductant, as the alcohol substrate serves as the H₂ donor. A catalytic enantioselective variant of this process for the synthesis of chiral amines, however, was not known. We have examined various transition‐metal complexes supported by chiral ligands known for asymmetric hydrogenation reactions, in combination with chiral Brønsted acids, which proved essential for the formation of the imine intermediate and the transfer‐hydrogenation step. Our studies led to an asymmetric amination of alcohols to provide access to a wide range of chiral amines with good to excellent enantioselectivity.

We also demonstrate the application of FLEC as a chiral Fmoc equivalent for chiral resolution, with facile deprotection, of tetrahydroquinaldines, and its capacity for inducing regioselective outcomes in nitration reactions.

Relative quantification of enantiomers of chiral amines by high-throughput LC–ESI-MS/MS using isotopic variants of light and heavy l-pyroglutamic acids as the derivatization reagents

l-Pyroglutamic acid (l-PGA) was evaluated as a chiral labeling reagent for the enantioseparation of chiral amines in terms of separation efficiency by reversed-phase chromatography and detection sensitivity by ESI-MS/MS. Several amines and amino acid methyl esters were used as typical representatives of the chiral amines. Both enantiomers of the chiral amines were easily labeled with l-PGAs at room temperature for 60 min in the presence of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide and 1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole as the activation reagents. The resulting diastereomers were completely separated by reversed-phase chromatography using the small particle (1.7 μm) ODS column (Rs = 1.6–6.8). A highly sensitive detection at a low-fmol level (1–4 fmol) was also obtained from the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) chromatograms. Therefore, a high-throughput determination was achieved by the present UPLC–ESI-MS/MS method.

Additive-Free Transfer Hydrogenative Direct Asymmetric Reductive Amination Using a Chiral Pyridine-Derived Half-Sandwich Catalyst

Chiral amines are broadly used compounds in pharmaceutical industry and organic synthesis, and reductive amination reactions have been the most appreciated methods for their syntheses. However, one-step transfer hydrogenative direct asymmetric reductive amination (THDARA) that could expand the scope, simplify the operation and eliminate the use of additives has been challenging. In this work, based on the Xiao's racemic transfer hydrogenative reductive amination in 2010 and our recent work in novel chiral pyridine ligands, chiral half-sandwich iridium catalysts were rationally designed and synthesized. Using the optimized catalyst and azeotropic mixture of formic acid and triethylamine as the hydrogen source, a broad range of α-chiral (hetero)aryl amines, including various polar functional groups and heterocycles, were prepared in generally high yield and enantioselectivity under mild and operationally simple conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation of the catalytically active Ir−H species and the key hydride transfer step supported the chiral pyridine-induced stereospecific generation of the iridium center, and the enantioselection by taming the highly flexible key transition structure with multiple attractive non-covalent interactions. This work introduced a type of effective chiral catalysts for simplified approach to medicinally important chiral amines, as well as a rare example of robust enantioselective transition-metal catalysis.
