Selection of the Mobile Phase for Enantiomeric Resolution via Chiral Stationary Phase Columns

Abstract

The optimization of enantiomeric resolution by mobile phase variation was studied with the chiral stationary phase derived from R-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine covalently coupled to 5 μm spherical 3-aminopropyl silica. Chromatography was routinely performed with mobile phase compositions having polarities as high as 2.5 without column deterioration. The relative strength of a solvent as a hydrogen acceptor was found to be an important basis for selection of the polar component in a binary mobile phase. The substitution of tert-butanol for 2-propanol or ethanol in an alcohol/hexane mixture, for example, afforded improved separation factors with several enantiomers. In addition, the need for a polar mobile phase such as 50/50 methylene chloride/hexane to minimize non-specific polar absorption of enantiomers has been demonstrated. Enhancement of specific chiral interactions and suppression of interfering reactions have been obtained with a number of clinically relevant derivatives as model compounds.

Chiral Resolution of the Enantiomers of New Aromatase Inhibitors by Liquid Chromatography on Amylose Stationary Phases

Analytical HPLC methods for derivatized amylose chiral stationary phases were developed for the direct enantioseparation of substituted [1-(imidazo-1-yl)-1-phenylmethyl)] benzothiazolinone and benzoxazolinone derivatives with one stereogenic center. These analogues of fadrozole constitute new potent nonsteroidal inhibitors of aromatase (P450 arom.). The separations were made using normal phase methodology with mobile phase consisting of n-hexane-alcohol (ethanol, 1-propanol or 2-propanol) in various proportions, and a silica-based amylose tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (Chiralpak AD), or tris-(S)-1-phenylethylcarbamate (Chiralpak AS). The effects of concentration of various aliphatic alcohols in the mobile phase were studied. Baseline separation (R_s > 1.5) was easily obtained in all cases, ethanol being often the more interesting modifier. The effects of structural features of the solutes along with the temperature of the column on the discrimination between the enantiomers were examined for different mobile phase compositions.

Enantioseparation of Some New 1-(2-Naphthyl)-1-ethanol Ester Derivatives by HPLC on Chiralcel OD

The direct enantiomeric resolution of racemic 2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)-1-naphthalene-2-yl)ethanol esters, 1-(naphthalene-2-yl)ethanol esters, and 1-(1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-yl)-2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)ethanol on silica-based cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralcel OD) column is described. The separations were performed using mobile phases which consist of alcohol (methanol, ethanol or 2-propanol)/n-hexane in various proportions. The effect of structural features of the solutes along with the nature and concentration of alcohol in the mobile phase on the discrimination between the enantiomers was examined for different mobile phase compositions. The results suggest that not only the structure and concentration of alcohol in the mobile phase, but also the subtle structural differences in racemates can have a pronounced effect on enantiomeric separation and retention. Baseline separations were obtained for 2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)-1-naphthalene-2-yl)ethanol esters carrying imidazole ring in addition to ester functional group in their structures. The α values of the resolved enantiomers of 2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)-1-naphthalene-2-yl)ethanol esters were in the range of 1.49–1.62 while the R _s values varied from 4.20 to 6.75 when methanol/n-hexane (70:30 v/v) was used as mobile phase.

     

Chiral Separation of Carboprost Isomers by Normal Phase LC Using Amylose Chiral Stationary Phase

LC separation of carboprost diastereomers in bulk drug was developed and validated using normal-phase amylose stationary phase Chiralpak AD-H. The effect of the organic modifiers, namely 2-propanol and ethanol in the mobile phase was optimized in order to obtain the best separation. The retention time of (R)-carboprost and (S)-carboprost were 15.3 and 17.1 min, respectively. Calibration curves were linear over the range of 0.2–1.0%, with the regression coefficient (R ²) of 0.9997. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.07 and 0.2%, respectively. The method was accurate, precise and suitable to use for the purpose of controlling unwanted (R)-isomer in the carboprost active pharmaceutical ingredient. This method can be successfully applied to the analysis of chiral purity of carboprost in pharmaceutical bulk drug samples.     

Enantioseparation of Novel Amino Analogs of Indole Phytoalexins on Macrocyclic Glycopeptide-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

Direct chiral separation of the enantiomers of spirobrassinin, 1-methoxyspirobrassinin and ten novel cis- and trans-diastereoisomers of 2-amino analogs of indole phytoalexin 1-methoxyspirobrassinol methyl ether on macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) with teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T) was studied. Normal phase eluents containing n-hexane with modifiers ethanol and 2-propanol were used. The effects of mobile phase composition, structure of the analytes and temperature were investigated. Chiral resolution on teicoplanin CSP was achieved only in the case of trans-diastereoisomers. The van??t Hoff plots were found to show linear behavior in all cases. It was found that studied normal phase enantioseparations were enthalpy driven. The elution order of the enantiomers was determined in some cases.     

Reversal of Elution Order between Enantiomers of Binaphthol on an Immobilized Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

Enantioseparation of 1,1??-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) was performed on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP), Chiralpak IA, in the normal-phase mode. The effects of polar modifier in the mobile phase and column temperature on retention, enantioseparation, and elution order were investigated. An interesting reversal of elution order for BINOL was observed. When ethanol was used as a polar modifier, R-BINOL was eluted first with marginal enantioseparation. Excellent enantioseparation was obtained when ethanol was replaced by 1-propanol, and S-BINOL was eluted first, this effect being retained with 2-butanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol or 1-hexanol as the modifier. When isoamyl alcohol was used, reversal of elution order was again observed, i.e., R-BINOL eluted first with marginal enantioseparation, similar to the case of ethanol. When cyclohexanol and cyclopentanol were used, R-BINOL was still eluted first, but enantioseparation was as good as with 1-propanol as the modifier. This is the first report of large enantioseparation obtained in both elution orders for a given selector/selectant system. A retention model based on stoichiometric displacement theory for retention (SDT-R) was investigated to fit the chromatographic data. The reason for solvent-induced reversal of elution order was elucidated based on a derivation of the retention model. Reversal of elution order for BINOL induced by the content of isoamyl alcohol was also predicted based on the model and confirmed by experiment.     

Separation of the enantiomers of 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl- and 1,7,7-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-diones by chiral HPLC

Summary Analytical HPLC methods using derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases have been developed for separation of the enantiomers of 25 racemic 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl- or 1,77-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-diones, condensed derivatives of dihydropyrimidines. The enantiomers of the compounds were resolved by normal-phase chromatography on silica-based cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralcel OD) and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralpak AD) columns with mobile phases consisting of mixtures ofn-hexane and an alcohol (2-propanol, ethanol, or methanol) in different proportions. The mobile phase and the chiral stationary phase were varied to achieve the best resolution. The effect of the concentration of alcohol in the mobile phase was studied. The resolution obtained on the two columns was complementary.     

Enantiomeric separation of some pharmaceutical intermediates and reversal of elution orders by high-performance liquid chromatography using cellulose and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivatives as stationary phases

Several pairs of enantiomers of pharmaceutical intermediates were separated by HPLC directly on cellulose and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivatives (Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD) using hexane as mobile phase with 2-propanol or ethanol as modifier. The separation and elution order of the enantiomers on the two columns using different alcohol modifiers were compared. Reversal of the elution order of some enantiomeric pairs associated with increased retention of many of these solutes upon changing the mobile phase modifier from 2-propanol to ethanol was observed. The effect of structural variation of two pairs of enantiomers on their k' and separation factor alpha was noted. Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD columns provided different retention, separation and elution order of some of the enantiomeric pairs.     

Enantioseparation of Novel Amino Analogs of Indole Phytoalexins on Macrocyclic Glycopeptide-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

Direct chiral separation of the enantiomers of spirobrassinin, 1-methoxyspirobrassinin and ten novel cis- and trans-diastereoisomers of 2-amino analogs of indole phytoalexin 1-methoxyspirobrassinol methyl ether on macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) with teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T) was studied. Normal phase eluents containing n-hexane with modifiers ethanol and 2-propanol were used. The effects of mobile phase composition, structure of the analytes and temperature were investigated. Chiral resolution on teicoplanin CSP was achieved only in the case of trans-diastereoisomers. The van’t Hoff plots were found to show linear behavior in all cases. It was found that studied normal phase enantioseparations were enthalpy driven. The elution order of the enantiomers was determined in some cases.

     

Comparative Study of the Enantioseparation of Uniconazole and Imazalil by HPLC on Various Cellulose Chiral Columns

Abstract

This paper reported the enantioseparation of uniconazole and imazalil using four different self‐prepared cellulose derivative columns, namely, CTB, CTMB, CTPC, and CDMPC. The mobile phase composition including the type of the alcohol modifier and the ethanol concentration in hexane changed, and the influence on the retention factor (k′); for each enantiomer, the separation factor (α) and the resolution (R_S) was studied. The influence of the structures of the analytes on the chiral separation was investigated. The results showed that uniconazole obtained the best resolution of 2.16 on CTPC, while imazalil obtained the best separation on CTMB, with the maximal resolution of 4.83. It was concluded that the structure of solutes and CSP play a key role in the chiral recognition. And the chiral attraction between them is the predominant factor.

Separating Ability of Some Polar Mobile Phases in Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

Homologous series of n-alkanes, n-alcohols, ethers, esters, amides and ketones were studied as solutes. Methanol, acetonitrile, ethanol, dioxane, 2-propanol and tetrahydrofuran were mobile phases. Spherisorb ODS columns with light and heavy octadecyl coatings were used. Methanol and acetonitrile were found to be the most selective solvents for reverse phase separation. The polar amides, alcohols, and ketones behaved differently from nonpolar solutes in acetonitrile mobile phases. Results were interpreted with the solvophobic theory.     

The Effect of Binary Solvent Composition and Polarity on Separations in Reversed Phase Thin Layer and High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

The effect of the solvent's composition and polarity on separation in reversed phase thin layer and high performance liquid chromatography is discussed. These results show that retention times cannot be predicted merely from the polarity of the binary mobile phase. Although organic modifiers with the same physico-chemical properties and from the same solvent group were used, the retention times obtained using binary mobile phases having the same polarity, were different. It was also observed that normal chain carbon alcohols gave retention times different from those with a branched chain (n-propanol vs. iso-propanol), and the longer the alcohol chain the higher the R_f value. The results also show that not only the organic modifier used is important but the solute mixture used.
