Cyclodextrin derivatives for GC separation of racemic mixtures of volatile compounds. Part VIII: 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl-γ-cyclodextrin and 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-(4-oxo-pentyl)- and 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-(4-oxo-pentyl)-β-and -γ-cyclodextrins

In pre vious papers, 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD) was demonstrated to be successful in separating volatile compounds, while avoiding the drawbacks of 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-O-methyl-β-CD in terms of column stability and operating temperature. Since a CD chiral selector of universal use has not yet been found, and at least two (or more) columns coated with different CD derivatives are therefore necessary for routine work, the performance of 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl-γ-CD, 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-(4-oxopentyl)-γ-CD, 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-(4-oxo-pentyl)-β-CD, and 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-(-4-oxo-pentyl)-γ-CD diluted in polysiloxanes for the separation of volatile compounds in aromas and essential oils will be illustrated; each column coated with each of the newly synthesized CD derivatives was evaluated by analyzing more than 150 different recemates with different structures.     

Cyclodextrin derivatives in the GC separation of racemic mixtures of volatile compounds,part V: Heptakis 2,6-dimethyl-3-pentyl-β-cyclodextrins

This paper describes an evaluation of the chromatographic performance of columns coated with amorphous cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives, in particular 2,3,6-tripentyl-β-CD (2,3,6-TriPe-β-CD), 2,6-dipentyl-3-methyl-β-CD (2,6-DiPe-3-Me-β-CD), and 2,6-dimethyl-3-pentyl-β-CD (2,6-DiMe-3-Pe-β-CD), all diluted in polysiloxane (OV-1701 or OV-1701-OH), for the separation of the enantiomers of volatile compounds. 2,6-DiMe-3-Pe-β-CD in OV-1701 offers performance comparable with (or better than) that of the other two CDs, and without their drawbacks (inconsistency of results, as described previously). This article compares the separating ability of 2,6-DiMe-3-Pe-β-CD and 2,3,6-TriMe-β-CD, and describes the influence of the CD derivative to polysiloxane ratio, the minimum operating temperatures of the columns, and the reproducibility and consistency of performance of columns coated with the former CD derivative diluted in polysiloxane.     

Cyclodextrin derivatives in the GC separation of racemic mixtures of volatile compounds: Part IV

This paper reports the chromatographic performance of columns coated with 2,3,6-trimethyl-α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (2,3,6-TriMe-α,- β-, and γ-CD) and their derivatives 2,6-dimethyl-3-trifluoroacetyl-α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (2,6-DiMe-3-TFA-α-, β-, and γ-CD), all six diluted in polysiloxane, for the separation of the enantiomers of volatile compounds. The influence of column length and film thickness on separation is reported. Phenomena related to reproducibility and consistency, over a period of time, of columns prepared with these CD derivatives are also discussed, and a possible solution to some drawbacks reported here is proposed.     

Capillary gas chromatographic properties of three new mono-ester permethylated β-cyclodextrin derivatives

2^I-O-Methoxycarbonylmethyl-2^II–VII,3^I–VII,6^I–VII-eicosa-O-methyl-cyclodextrin (20Me/P2OCH₂COOMe), 6^I-O-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2^I–VII,3^I–VII,6^II–VII-eicosa-O-methyl-cyclodextrin (20Me/P6OCH₂COOMe), 6^I-O-methoxycarbonyl-6^I-deoxy-2^I–VII,3^I–VII,6^II–VII-eicosa-O-methyl-cyclodextrin (20Me/P6COOMe) have been evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for capillary gas chromatography. General chromatographic properties of the corresponding columns have been investigated in terms of efficiency, polarity and inertness. More than 60 solutes have been used for studying their enantioselectivity by comparison with permethylated β-cyclodextrin as a reference. Similar enantioseparation ability was established for the four studied CSPs, the 20Me/P2OCH₂COOMe exhibiting in most cases a better enantioselectivity than the other selectors.     

Enantiomer separation with capillary gas chromatography columns coated with cyclodextrins. Part I: Separation of enantiomeric 2-substituted propionic acid esters and some lower alcohols with permethylated β-cyclodextrin

The applicability of permethylated β-cyclodextrin as an enantioselective stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography has been investigated. Attention has been paid to its phase transitions in a temperature range of 40–200°C. The enantiomer separation of 2-substituted propionates and some lower alcohols illustrates the pronounced selectivity of the permethylated β-cyclodextrin relative to molecular geometry.     

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.

Enantiomer separation by capillary SFC and GC on immobilized octakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin

Heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl) (2-O-methyl-6-O-oct-1-enyl-3-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin was immobilized to narrow-bore fused silica capillaries after selective modification. One tert-butyldimethylsilyl group was introduced into octakis-(2-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin in order to get a pure monofunctionalized cyclodextrin derivative. During synthesis the tert-butyldimethylsilyl group was replaced by an anchoring group to bind the cyclodextrin to a polysiloxane. After thermal immobilization of the modified polysiloxane this new chiral stationary phase was applied in GC and SFC. High efficiency separations were obtained in GC. In SFC very polar compounds could be chromatographed at low temperatures resulting in higher separation factors as compared to GC.     

Cyclodextrin derivatives in GC separation of racemic mixtures of volatiles – part XII: Thick-film wide-bore columns for enantiomer GC preparation

Preliminary results on thick-film wide-bore (0.53mm i.d.) columns for GC preparation of pure enantiomers are described. In particular the loading capacity for several racemates of a 3μm, 30% 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-Pentyl-β-CD/OV1701 column and of a 2 μm, 30% 2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-dimethyl-t-butylyl-β-CD/PS-086 collumn were determined. Consideration is also given to the relation-ship between resolution values of two enantiomers on anayltical columns and their loading capacity and scaling-up to the corresponding micropreparative columns.     

Permethylated cyclodextrins in the GC separation of racemic mixtures of volatiles: Part 1

The chromatographic separation of racemic mixtures of volatile compounds by 2,3,6-trimethyl-α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins is discussed. Columns were prepared by mixing the derivatized cyclodextrin with OV-1701 or hydroxy-terminated OV-1701 (OV-1701-OH) following Schurig's method [1]. About 130 racemates with widely differing structures were used to test the performances of 2,3,6-permethylated-α, β- and, γ-cyclodextrins mixed with the polysiloxane polymers in different ratios. The influence of the different types of cyclodextrin on racemate separation is shown, and some phenomena which might be helpful in the elucidation of the chromatographic behavior involved are also described. The influence both of the percentage of cyclodextrin in the polysiloxane, and of the operating conditions (carrier gas, flow rate, and temperature) in the separation of flavor and fragrance racemates is also evaluated.     

Comparison of different heptakis(6-O-alkyldimethylsilyl-2-3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases in capillary GC

Three new β-cyclodextrin derivatives, heptakis(6-O-isopropyldi-methylsilyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin, heptakis(6-O-thexyldi-methylsilyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin, and heptakis(6-O-cy-clohexyldimethyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin (IPDE-β-CD, TXDE-β-CD, and CHDE-β-CD), were synthesized and the enan-tioselectivities of these three CD derivatives and heptakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TBDE-β-CD) were compared for GC separation of a range of chiral test com-pounds. In particular TXDE-β-CD showed much higher enentio-selectivity than TBDE-β-CD. Enentioselectivities of IPDE-β-CD and CHDE-β-CD are somewhat lower than that of TXDE-β-CD and CHDE-β-Cd are somewhat lower than that of TXDE-β-CD. These observations are indicative of significant effects of subtle changes in the structure of the 6-O-substituent on the enantioselec-tivity of the β-CD derivatives. The difference in enantioselectivities of the 6-O-substituted CD derivatives were explained in terms of relative contributions of the effects of hydrophobicity and steric hindrance of the substituent to the inclusion process. CHDE-β-CD showed the lowest enantioselectivity among the threederivatives. It is likely that the unfavorable steric hindrance of the bulky cyclo-hexyl group plays a greater role than the favorable hydrophobicity effect of the cyclohexyl group in the inclusion process in CHDE-β-CD. IPDE-β-CD showed lower selectivity than TXDE-β-CD and TBDE-β-CD. In the case of these CD derivatives having acyclic substituents the relative hydrophobicity of the substituent seems to be a dominant factor affecting the inclusion process. Isopropyl groups factor affecting the inclusion process. Isopropyl groups are less hydrophobic than thexyl and tert-butyl groups.     

Enantioselective separations by capillary GC on derivatized cyclodextrins. Part 2: Determination of enantiomeric excess of some racemic 2,3-isopropylidene-1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol derivatives on permethyl α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins

Capillary GC on permethyl α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins has been applied to separate and quantify the enantiomers of some 2,3-iso-propylidene-1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol derivatives. Quantitative CGC data are compared to those obtained with chiral shift ¹H NMR.
