High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of unusual amino acid enantiomers derivatized with (1S,2S)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propyl-isothiocyanate

Summary A new chiral derivatizing agent (CDA), (1S,2S)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propylisothiocyanate, (S,S)-DANI, was applied to the separation of the enantiomers of unusual amino acids containing two chiral centers. Different β-methyl-α-amino acids (β-MePhe, β-MeTyr and β-MeTrp) and β-amino acids with cycloalkane skeletons (2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid and 2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid) were derivatized and the thiourea derivatives produced were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The applicability of this new CDA in the separation of unusual amino acids is demonstrated. The four stereoisomers of the investigated amino acids (except β-MePhe) could be separated in one chromatographic run.

New (1R,4R)-2-arylidene-p-menthan-3-ones with a bridging ester group in the arylidene fragment. Synthesis and behavior in liquid-crystalline systems

(1R,4R)-2-(4-Hydroxybenzylidene)- and (1R,4R)-2-(4"-hydroxybiphenyl-4-yl)methylene-p-menthan-3-ones were synthesized by condensation of (–)-menthone with O-tetrahydropyran-2-yl derivatives of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4"-hydroxy-4-formylbiphenyl, respectively, in a DMSO—base medium followed by the removal of the protective group. The reactions of these hydroxy derivatives with 4-alkylbenzoic, 4-alkyloxybenzoic, trans-4-alkylcyclohexane-4-carboxylic, and 4"-alkylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acids afforded three series of new chiral esters. Compounds containing the arylidene moiety with three benzene rings were found to exhibit liquid-crystalline properties. The characteristic features of these compounds are discussed based on the results of studies by polarizing microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and small-angle X-ray scattering. It was found that the mesomorphic compounds under study can form a smectic A mesophase, twist grain boundary mesophases (TGBA), and blue phases in a wide temperature range. Upon dissolution of certain of chiral compounds in 4"-cyano-4-pentylbiphenyl, a rather high twisting power and the thermal stabilizing effect on mesophases were observed.

Enantioselective synthesis of (1S,4R)-N-(benzylcarbamoyl)-4-aminocyclopent-2-en-1-ol by Candida antarctica lipase B

An efficient biocatalytic process has been developed to obtain optically pure (1S,4R)-N-(benzylcarbamoyl)- 4-aminocyclopent-2-en-1-ol which can be used as the key intermediate of ticagrelor. In this research, several N-(benzylcarbamoyl)-4-aminocyclopent-2-en-1-ol derivatives have been investigated in which Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was used to catalyze the asymmetric hydrolysis reaction. As expected, some of these substrates successfully gave (1S,4R)-N-(benzylcarbamoyl)-4-aminocyclopent- 2-en-1-ol in >98% enantiomeric excess (ee) with conversion yields up to 45%.     

Conformations of Z- and E-isomers of some chiral (1R,4R)-2-arylidene-p-menthan-3-ones

The ¹Í NMR method in combination with molecular simulation was used to study conformations of Z- and E-isomers of (1R,4R)-cis-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzylidene-p-menthan-3-one. In solutions the Z-isomer, unlike the conformationally uniform Å-isomer, is an equilibrium mixture of chair conformers with the substantial predomination of one form with the axially oriented methyl and equatorial isopropyl groups (75—78%). The enone group is more nonplanar in the Z-isomer than in the Å-isomer. For the isopropyl fragment, the equiprobable existence of trans- and two gauche-rotamers for the Z-isomer and a substantial predomination of gauche-forms in the case of the E-isomer were established.     

Liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of β-blocking agents with (1R,2R)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propyl isothiocyanate as chiral derivatizing agent

The applicability of (1R,2R)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propyl isothiocyanate [(R,R)-DANI] as a recently developed chiral derivatizing agent for the enantioseparation of a series of β-blockers is described. The thiourea diastereomers formed were analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, mixtures of water and methanol or acetonitrile being used for elution. Conditions of derivatizations (temperature, reagent excess and reaction time) were optimized, and the effects of organic modifiers on the retention and separation were investigated; the diastereomers could readily be baseline separated with methanol-containing mobile phases with resolutions between 1.58 and 2.72.
