Quantitative 1H NMR method for the routine spectroscopic determination of enantiomeric purity of active pharmaceutical ingredients fenfluramine, sertraline, and paroxetine

Determining the enantiomeric purity of chiral therapeutic agents is important in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). A strategy for determining the enantiomeric purity of three APIs was developed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the chiral solvating agent (CSA) 1,1-bi-2-naphthyl (1). While chiral chromatography is widely used to evaluate enantiomeric purity, it can sometimes suffer from tedious sample preparation obviating rapid measurements that are sometimes needed during the manufacture of such agents. The techniques described herein provide comparable enantiomeric purity results with those obtained with traditional chiral HPLC and other published methods for these compounds. Chiral analysis of standard samples of methylbenzylamine enantiomeric mixtures using 1 were found to be quantitative to approximately 1% minor enantiomer. Enantiomeric purity determination by NMR utilizing chiral solvating agents do not require special instrumental techniques, chemical derivatization or standards and is therefore ideally suited for rapid routine analysis. As a result, the technique demonstrated is commonly used in our laboratory as a complementary or alternative method to chiral HPLC or optical rotation measurements for routine determination of enantiomeric purity.

Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments and Z/E-stereoconfiguration determination for a series of new isomers of 1,4-diketone derivatives obtained via self-sorting tandem reaction were accomplished by means of one- and two-dimentional NMR experiments including 1H, 13C, gCOSY, gHSQC, gHMBC, and NOESY.     

NMR study of E/Z isomerism in N‐alkoxybenzoimidic acid derivatives

Well defined E/Z isomers of N‐methoxy‐p‐nitrobenzimidoyl chloride, N‐methoxybenzimidoyl chloride, methyl N‐methylbenzohydroximate and ethyl N‐hydroxybenzimidate were prepared in order to provide model data for studies of benzhydroximic acid derivatives and related compounds. NMR parameters [¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N chemical shifts and ¹J(¹³C, ¹³C) coupling constants] were determined. The results show that stereochemically most significant are the values of ¹J(¹³C, ¹³C) couplings between aromatic C_ipso and C?N carbons and that the relationship, |J_cis| > |J_trans|, known for this coupling from oximes, is not affected by electronegative substituents at the C?N carbon atom, but the values are.

Purity determination of a new antifungal drug candidate using quantitative 1H NMR spectroscopy: Method validation and comparison of calibration approaches

Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) is an analytical technique that offers numerous advantages in pharmaceutical applications including minimum sample preparation and rapid data collection times with no need for response factor corrections, being a powerful tool for assaying drug content in both drug discovery and early drug development. In the present work, we have applied qNMR, using both the internal standard and the electronic reference to access in vivo concentrations 2 calibration methods, to assess the purity of RI76, a novel antifungal drug candidate. NMR acquisition and processing parameters were optimized in order to obtain spectra with intense, well-resolved signals of completely relaxed nuclei. The analytical method was validated following current guidelines, demonstrating selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The calibration approaches were statistically compared, and no significant difference was observed when comparing the obtained results and their dispersion in terms of relative standard deviation. The proposed qNMR method may, therefore, be used for both qualitative and quantitative assessments of RI76 in early drug development and for characterization of this compound.     

Quantitative NMR (qNMR) for pharmaceutical analysis: The pioneering work of George Hanna at the US FDA

In the last two decades, quantitative NMR (qNMR) has become increasingly important for the analysis of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and natural products including dietary supplements. For the purpose of quality control and chemical standardization of a large variety of pharmaceutical, chemical, and medicinal products, qNMR has proven to be a valuable orthogonal quantification method and a compelling alternative to chromatographic techniques. This work reviews a fundamental component of the early development of qNMR, reflected in the pioneering work of the late George M. Hanna during the years between 1984 and 2006 at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because Hanna performed the majority of his groundbreaking work on a 90‐MHz instrument, his legacy output connects with recent progress in low‐field benchtop NMR instrumentation. Hanna gradually established the utility of qNMR for the routine quality control analyses practiced in pharmaceutical and related operations well ahead of his peers. His work has the potential to inspire new developments in qNMR applied to small molecules of biomedical importance.     

Study of spontaneous E/Z isomerization of bis[(Z)‐cyanomethylidene]‐diazapentacyclodienedicarboxylates by 1H, 13C,and 15N NMR spectroscopy,X‐ray,and quantum chemical calculation data

X‐ray data show that the diethyl 6,13‐bis[(Z)‐cyanomethylidene]‐5,5,14,14‐tetramethyl‐4,15‐dioxa‐7,12‐diazapentacyclo[9.5.2.0^2,10.0^3,7.0^12,16]octadeca‐8,17‐diene‐10,17‐dicarboxylate is formed as the ZZ isomer and diastereomer with the (1R*,2R*,3R*,10S*,11R*,12R*,16R*) configuration. The ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR data exhibit that on standing in chloroform‐d solution, there is a spontaneous isomerization of this compound resulting in a thermodynamically stable mixture of the ZZ, ZE, EE, and EZ isomers with the same backbone. Using the 2D [¹H–¹H] COSY, [¹H–¹³C] HSQC, and [¹H–¹³C, ¹H–¹⁵N] HMBC NMR techniques and quantum chemical calculations makes it possible a complete assignment of signals in the ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR spectra of each of the isomers. Such isomerization does not occur for similar compounds with the more bulky substituents at the 1,3‐oxazolidine rings. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Z and E rotamers of N‐formyl‐1‐bromo‐4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxymorphinan‐6‐one and their interconversion as studied by 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations

N‐Formyl‐1‐bromo‐4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxymorphinan‐6‐one (compound 2 ), an important intermediate in the NIH Opiate Total Synthesis, presumably exists as a mixture of two rotamers (Z and E) in both CHCl₃ and DMSO at room temperature due to the hindered rotation of its N‐C18 bond in the amide moiety. By comparing the experimental ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts of a single rotamer and the mixture of compound 2 in CDCl₃ with the calculated chemical shifts of the geometry optimized Z and E rotamers utilizing density functional theory, the crystalline rotamer of compound 2 was characterized as having the E configuration. The energy barrier between the two rotamers was also determined with the temperature dependence of ¹H and ¹³C NMR coalescence experiments, and then compared with that from the reaction path for the interconversion of the two rotamers calculated at the level of B3LYP/6‐31G*. Detailed geometry of the ground state and the transition states of both rotamers are given and discussed.

Quantitative 1H NMR analysis of reacted silanol groups in silica nanoparticles chemically modified with monochlorosilanes

Quantitative analysis of reacted silanol groups in silica nanoparticles modified chemically with monochlorosilanes was performed by ¹H NMR after treatment with cesium fluoride. Silica nanoparticles were modified chemically by the reaction between the silanol groups and monochlorosilanes, and the structure of the organic moiety anchored onto the silica surface was confirmed with solid‐state ¹³C NMR. As monochlorosilanes react with silanol groups at 1:1 ratio unlike di‐ or trichlorosilanes, the number of the silanes introduced into silica nanoparticles equals that of reacted silanol groups. Organically modified silica nanoparticles were dissolved using cesium fluoride, and the amount of the soluble organic compounds originated from the introduced silanes was determined by a ¹H NMR internal standard method using pyrene as the reference. Those values determined by ¹H NMR were in good agreement with those determined by elemental analysis. Thus, the number of reacted silanol groups per one particle was calculated on the basis of the results obtained by the ¹H NMR method, and the values were highly dependent on the steric structure of the introduced silanes.

A simple chiral derivatisation protocol for determining the enantiopurity of O-silyl-protected-1,2-amino alcohols by ¹H NMR spectroscopic analysis is described, which involves their treatment with 2-formylphenylboronic acid and enantiopure (syn)-methyl-2,3-dihydroxy-3-phenylpropionate to afford mixtures of imino-boronate esters whose diastereoisomeric ratio is an accurate reflection of the enantiopurity of the parent amino alcohol.     

NMR spectroscopic and theoretical study on the isomerism of dimethyl benzodiazepine(diylidene)diacetates

The isomerism of dimethyl 2,2′-(7,8-dichloro-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine-2,4-(3H,5H)diylidene)diacetate ( 1a ) and dimethyl 2,2′-(7,8-dichloro-3-methyl-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine-2,4-(3H,5H)diylidene)diacetate ( 1b ) was investigated by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In CDCl₃ solution, inversion of the diazepine ring was observed, whereas in (D₆)DMSO and (D₇)DMF solution, besides the ring inversion, a partial cleavage of one chelate ring appeared connected with (E/Z) isomerization about one of the exocyclic C=C bonds. Gibbs free energies (ΔG) and free activation energies (ΔG^≠) were calculated based on B3PW91-SCRF/ZVP DFT computations. Agreement between NMR data and density functional theory (DFT) computations was found.     

Quantitative and qualitative 1H, 13C,and 15N NMR spectroscopic investigation of the urea–formaldehyde resin synthesis

Urea–formaldehyde resins are bulk products of the chemical industry. Their synthesis involves a complex reaction network. The present work contributes to its elucidation by presenting results from detailed NMR spectroscopic studies with different methods. Besides¹H NMR and¹³C NMR,¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy is also applied.¹⁵N‐enriched urea was used for the investigations. A detailed NMR signal assignment and a model of the reaction network of the hydroxymethylation step of the synthesis are presented. Because of its higher spectral dispersion and the fact that all key reactions directly involve the nitrogen centers,¹⁵N NMR provides a much larger amount of detail than do¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Symmetric and asymmetric dimethylol urea can be clearly distinguished and separated from monomethylol urea, trimethylol urea, and methylene‐bridged urea. The existence of hemiformals of methylol urea is confirmed. 1,3,5‐Oxadiazinan‐4‐on (uron) and its derivatives were not found in the reaction mixtures investigated here but were prepared via alternative routes. The molar ratios of formaldehyde to urea were 1, 2, and 4, the pH values 7.5 and 8.5, and the reaction temperature 60 °C. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Quantitative 31P‐NMR spectroscopy for the determination of fosfomycin and impurity A in pharmaceutical products of fosfomycin sodium or calcium

A quantitative ³¹P‐NMR method for the determination of fosfomycin and impurity A in pharmaceutical products of fosfomycin sodium or calcium has been developed. In this method, coaxial inserts containing trimethyl phosphate are used as external standard. The method is convenient and robust, and gives both high accuracy and precision. It is shown that an accurate determination is possible using different probes and coaxial inserts. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Towards the automatic analysis of 1H NMR spectra: Part 4--additional requirements of flow-NMR

Flow-NMR allows more rapid and convenient acquisition of NMR spectra. Its main application area has therefore been in multiple parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry. At the same time, there is a significant need to automate the analysis of the resultant spectra. However, flow-NMR brings spectral imperfections, which compromise attempts to automate this analysis. This study proposes experimental and computational expedients to accommodate the effects of residual solvent peaks, 13C satellites, finite signal-to-noise ratio, impurities, presaturation on integral calculations, the 'silent' region and how multiplet areas can be scaled to numbers of protons in this environment.
