Copolymeric (lR-trans)-N,N'-1,2-cyclohexylene-bisbenzamide oligodimethylsiloxane chiral stationary phase for gas chromatography

A copolymeric stationary phase, consisting of a chiral selective part, i.e. (1R-trans)-N,N'-1,2-cyclohexylenebisbenzamide, and an efficient siloxane oligomeric part, was successfully applied to open tubular column GC analysis. The efficiency and the chiral selectivity of this stationary phase were studied in detail, and high capacity and efficiency at elevated GC temperatures were especially noted. Several drugs and other enantiomeric pairs were separated. The shown examples demonstrate a broad application range for this type of chiral stationary phase in GC analysis.     

Cellulose Derivatives Used as Chiral Stationary Phases in Capillary Gas Chromatography

Abstract

In this work, we present the first separation of enantiomers in gas chromatography (GC) using a fused‐silica capillary column containing cellulose triacetate, cellulose triphenylcarbamate, or cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) as the new chiral stationary phase. The separated solutes included alcohols, amine, ketone, ether, ester, and amino acid. Their column efficiency, polarity, and chiral selectivity were studied. The retention mechanism was discussed. The results showed that those derivatives had relatively high chiral recognition abilities and can be used as the chiral stationary phases in GC.     

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.     

Immobilized versus coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases for the enantioselective separation of cyclopropane derivatives by liquid chromatography

The solvent versatility of Chiralpak IA, a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarabamate) immobilized onto silica gel, is investigated for the enantioselective separation of a set of cyclopropane derivatives using ethyl acetate or dichloromethane (DCM) as non-standard mobile phase eluent and diluent, respectively in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A comparison of the separation of cyclopropanes on both immobilized and coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases (Chiralpak IA and Chiralpak AD, respectively) in HPLC using a mixture of n-hexane/2-propanol (90/10 and 99/1, v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min and UV detection at 254 nm, is demonstrated. The optimized method of separation is used for an online HPLC monitoring for the Rh(II)-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular cyclopropanations in dichloromethane. Direct analysis techniques without further purification, workup or removal of dichloromethane were summarized. The method provides an easy and direct determination of the enantiomeric excess of the cyclopropanes and selectivity of the catalyst used without any further work up.     

Chromatographic determination of amino acid enantiomers in beers and raw materials used for their manufacture

Using gas chromatography (GC) on a chiral stationary phase, accompanied by high-performance liquid chromatography, beers and raw materials used for manufacturing (hops, barley grains, malts) were investigated for the pattern and quantities of amino acid enantiomers. Although L-amino acids were most abundant, certain D-amino acids were detected in all beers and most of the raw materials. Highest amounts of D-amino acids were detected in special beers such as Berliner Weisse that underwent bottle-conditioning with lactic cultures, and Belgian fruit beers produced by spontaneous fermentation. It is demonstrated that GC on chiral stationary phases is highly suitable for the quantitative determination of amino acid enantiomers in beers and raw materials used for their manufacture. Quantities, relative amounts and pattern of amino acid enantiomers can serve in particular as chiral markers for the authenticity of special beers.     

Single-walled carbon nanotubes for improved enantioseparations on a chiral ionic liquid stationary phase in GC

In order to investigate whether the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes can improve enantioseparations on an ionic liquid stationary phase, a chiral ionic liquid, (R)-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-aminobutanol-bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)imidate, was synthesized. Two capillary columns, one containing the chiral ionic liquid and the other containing the single-walled carbon nanotubes and the chiral ionic liquid, were then prepared for GC. The results of the separations achieved with these columns show that coating the chiral ionic liquid stationary phase onto the capillary column containing single-walled carbon nanotubes improves the enantioselectivety of the chiral ionic liquid. This work indicates that using single-walled carbon nanotubes in this manner enables the application range of such GC chiral separations to be extended.

Diastereoselective and enantioselective chromatography of the pyrethroid insecticides allethrin and cypermethrin

Summary Liquid and gas chromatographic separations of the pyrethroid insecticides allethrin and cypermethrin have been investigated with various achiral and chiral stationary phases. Diastercomeric and enantiomeric selectivity was observed for cypermethrin on a Pirkle-type chiral LC stationary phase, but very strong interactions and therefore long retention times prevented the separation of allethrin on this phase. Trans-allethrin isomers were separated on a chiral -cyclodextrin RP-HPLC column while cypermethrin showed some difficulties on this phase due to isomerization. Diastereomeric but no enantiomeric selectivity by GC was achieved for cypermethrin with an apolar DB 5 capillary. GC separation of the diastereomers was used to study the selective photodegradation of cypermethrin isomers after forestry applications. Chiral -cyclodextrin-based GC phases showed some enantioselectivity for cis- and trans-allethrin isomers. A separation of the eight isomers into six partially resolved peaks was achieved by GC with a coupled column consisting of chiral permethylated -cyclodextrin and DB 1701 as stationary phases. This combination was used to characterize allethrin formulations intended for indoor use and to investigate allethrin products formed by ozonolysis of thin films of the insecticide.     

4,6-Di-O-pentyl-3-O-trifluoroacetyl/propionyl cyclofructan stationary phases for gas chromatographic enantiomeric separations

4,6-Di-O-pentyl-3-O-trifluoroacetyl cycloinulohexaose (DP-TA-CF6) and 4,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-propionyl cycloinulohexaose (DP-PN-CF6) were synthesized and used as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in gas chromatography (GC). The chiral recognition ability of the two CSPs was investigated. A total of 47 racemic compounds were separated on the two new CSPs, including derivatized amino acids, amino alcohols, amines, alcohols, tartrates and lactones. Interestingly, several analytes were only separated on either the DP-TA-CF6 or the DP-PN-CF6 phase. The chiral recognition mechanism was evaluated through thermodynamic analysis. The result indicated there was no inclusion complex formation involved in the chiral recognition process.

Synthesis,isolation, and chromatography of perdeuterated α-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane

Perdeuterated α-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-PDHCH) was synthesized and isolated in pure form. α-PDHCH was baseline separated from unlabeled α-HCH by high resolution gas chromatography on different stationary phases. α-PDHCH was also resolved into its enantiomeric forms by application of a chiral GC phase. Furthermore, chiral chromatography of a mixture of labeled α-PDHDH and unlabeled α-HCH resulted in four peaks. Standard solutions of α-PDHCH are recommended both as recovery standard for sample clean-up and as internal standard for the quantitation of chlorinated hydrocarbons with GC/MS or GC/ECD in environmental samples.     

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.

Utility of ionic liquids in analytical separations

Ionic liquids (ILs), as separation media, have made significant contributions in the past decades in advancing research in gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE). This review, covering reports published from the mid 1980s to early 2007, shows how ILs have been used so far in separation science, originally primarily as GC stationary phases and later as mobile phase additives (both millimolar and major percent levels) for LC and CE. Representative GC and LC chromatograms as well as CE electropherograms are shown. In addition, the very recent findings on the development of ionic liquids with surfactant properties and its applications for chiral and achiral analysis are discussed.
