Liquid ion exchangers in reversed-phase systems for chromatography of steroidal glucosiduronic acids

Steroidal glucosiduronic acids were chromatographed on paper by the reversed-phase technique using five different liquid ion exchangers as stationary phase and aqueous KCl as mobile phase. The relationship of mobility of the acids (R_M) to both the amount of exchanger on the paper and the concentration of KCl in the mobile phase is discussed: the relationships may be expressed as R_M = n·log [exchanger] + const. and R_M = −n·log [KCl] + const., respectively. Migration of the acids in the presence of different exchangers is correlated by use of the equation R_M (exchanger Y) = a·R_M (exchanger X) + b. The lack of appreciable correlation between migration of the acids in a reversed-phase system and a corresponding straight-phase system is discussed and expressed by means of regression equations. The correlation coefficients and standard errors of estimate from these equations provide useful indices for selecting two solvent systems that are to be used sequentially to obtain maximal resolution of a group of compounds. ΔR_M values obtained for various functional groups with reversed-phase and straight-phase techniques are compared.

Organic high ionic strength aqueous two-phase solvent system series for separation of ultra-polar compounds by spiral high-speed counter-current chromatography

Existing two-phase solvent systems for high-speed countercurrent chromatography cover the separation of hydrophobic to moderately polar compounds, but often fail to provide suitable partition coefficient values for highly polar compounds, such as sulfonic acids, catecholamines and zwitter ions. The present paper introduces a new solvent series which can be applied for the separation of these polar compounds. It is composed of 1-butanol, ethanol, saturated ammonium sulfate and water at various volume ratios and consists of a series of 10 steps which are arranged according to the polarity of the solvent system so that the two-phase solvent system with suitable K values for the target compound(s) can be found in a few steps. Each solvent system gives proper volume ratio and high density difference between the two phases to provide a satisfactory level of retention of the stationary phase in the spiral column assembly. The method is validated by partition coefficient measurement of four typical polar compounds including methyl green (basic dye), tartrazine (sulfonic acid), tyrosine (zwitter ion) and epinephrine (a catecholamine), all of which show low partition coefficient values in the polar 1-butanol-water system. The capability of the method is demonstrated by separation of three catecholamines.

RM values of some colchicines and colchiceinamides determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography.

The RM values of twelve colchicines and eight colchiceinamides were measured using reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography. The RM values were calculated by extrapolation from the linear range of a plot of RM values versus the composition of the mobile phase. The results showed that in the colchicine series substitution at the nitrogen in position C7 decreases the lipophilicity, whereas in the colchiceinamide series substitution at the nitrogen in position C10 increases lipophilicity. The influence of other substituent groups on the RM values are considered.

A computer simulation — Statistical procedure for predicting complexation equilibrium constants

The complexing properties of macrocyclic ligands have been quantitatively studied by the combined use of molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, and multiple linear regression. The dependent variables in the regression equations are experimental equilibrium constants for known macrocycle complexes in various solvents. The independent variables are theoretical simulation results on the solvent-free ligand and its complex and additional physically motivated empirical variables to describe solvent and other important effects.The systems studied were: (a) 314 metal ion-macrocycle-solvent (including 3 mixed solvents) combinations; (b) 88 ammonium ion-crown ether-solvent (including 1 mixed solvent) combinations; (c) 24 hydrogen ion-crown ether-H₂O combinations; (d) 26 Na⁺ ion-spherand-CDCl₃ combinations; (e) 78 ammonium ion-spherand-CDCl₃ combinations; and (f) 73 complicated host-guest-solvent (including 1 mixed solvent) combinations.For each system, we report the best regression equation obtained using the AMBER force field. The standard errors in logK range from 1.42 in the largest system to 0.36 in the smallest. Regression equations were determined for several of the systems using the MMP2 force field as well, and the equations are shown to be relatively insensitive to the force field.The predictive ability of the method was tested by predicting logK for 20% of the cases chosen at random using equations derived from the remaining 80%. The errors in the predicted values are shown to be consistent with the statistical assumptions of the model.Regression equations obtained with this method can be used to predict the equilibrium constants for new complexes involving some combination of new, possibly unknown macrocycle, new host and, in certain cases new solvent. No X-ray or other structural data for the macrocycle is needed.     

The base-catalysed cyclisation of phenyl N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-methylcarbamates is concerted

The kinetics of the cyclisation in aqueous solution of phenyl-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-methylcarbamates to 3-methyl- 3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3]oxazin-2-ones and phenolate ions fit the rate law: kobs = kc/(1 + [H3O+]/Ka) The values of kc and pKa fit Br?nsted equations against the pKa's of the corresponding free phenols but the system does not conform to the reactivity-selectivity hypothesis. The values of the Br?nsted parameters beta Y and beta X vary as a function of Y and X according to the equations: beta X = -0.179pKaHY + 0.87 beta Y = -0.179pKaHX + 2.30 The magnitude and sign of the Cordes-Thornton cross-interaction coefficient pXY (-0.179) rule out a stepwise mechanism involving a tetrahedral intermediate and is consistent with a concerted displacement mechanism. A similar concerted mechanism is proposed for the base-catalysed cyclisation of phenyl-N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-methylcarbamate esters to benzoxazol-2-ones.     

Experimental observations of the hydrodynamic behavior of solvent systems in high-speed counter-current chromatography. III. Effects of physical properties of the solvent systems and operating temperature on the distribution of two-phase solvent systems

Statistical studies were made to correlate the hydrodynamic behavior of two-phase solvent system in counter-current chromatography (CCC) to their physical properties including interfacial tension, viscosity, and the difference in density of the two phases. Settling time measured under unit gravity provided a reliable numerical index for the hydrodynamic behavior of the solvent systems in a centrifugal force field. Viscosity and settling time were strongly correlated (correlation coefficient, r = +0.88) while interfacial tension (r = -0.65) and phase density difference (r = -0.45) showed moderate and weak correlation, respectively. Studies of the effect of temperature on settling time as well as a preliminary apparatus operated at higher temperature show that raising the temperature will improve the performance of high-speed CCC.     

RM values of naphthols and acetophenones in structure-activity studies

The RM values of naphthols obtained in a chromatographic system where the stationary phase consisted of a silica gel G layer impregnated with silicone oil are much more closely related to the log P values in an octanol-water system than the RM values determined on polyamide layers. Similarly, the RM values of a series of acetophenones in the silicone system are closely related to their log P values. The equations describing the structure-activity relationship indicate the importance of lipophilic character and halogen substitution in determining the hemolytic activity and the acute toxicity of compounds.     

Ligand effects in bimetallic high oxidation state palladium systems

Ligand effects in bimetallic high oxidation state systems containing a X-Pd-Pd-Y framework have been explored with density functional theory (DFT). The ligand X has a strong effect on the dissociation reaction of Y to form [X-Pd-Pd](+) + Y(-). In the model system examined where Y is a weak σ-donor ligand and a good leaving group, we find that dissociation of Y is facilitated by greater σ-donor character of X relative to Y. We find that there is a linear correlation of the Pd-Y and Pd-Pd bond lengths with Pd-Y bond dissociation energy, and with the σ-donating ability of X. These results can be explained by the observation that the Pd d(z(2)) population in the PdY fragment increases as the donor ability of X increases. In these systems, the Pd(III)-Pd(III) arrangement is favored when X is a weak σ-donor ligand, while the Pd(IV)-Pd(II) arrangement is favored when X is a strong σ-donor ligand. Finally, we demonstrate that ligand exchange to form a bimetallic cationic species in which each Pd is six-coordinate should be feasible in a high polarity solvent.     

15N NMR spectroscopy. 30—structure/shift relationships of oligopeptides and copolypeptides,including gramicidin S

The ¹⁵N NMR spectra of various oligopeptide derivatives of the Z? X? Y? Y? OMe structure, where X and Y are variable amino acids and Z is the benzyloxycarbonyl group, were measured in several protic and aprotic solvents. The shift difference of the ¹⁵N of the Y? Y and X? Y bond (neighbouring residue effect) is discussed with respect to the nature of X and Y with respect to the solvent. Oligopeptides of the Z? X? Y? Y? OH and n?H₃? X? Y? Y? OMe structures were compared with the Z-pëptide esters to investigate the spectroscopic influence of the protecting groups. The methyl ester hydrochlorides of the 25 most common amino acids were measured in water and DMSO to elucidate the solvent dependence of the substituent effects. Moreover, the methyl ester hydrochlorides were compared with Z-amino acids and N-acetyl-amino acid methyl esters in DMSO to establish whether the substituent effects depend on the nature of the amino acid derivatives. In this connection the assignments of the serine, threonine and glycine signals are discussed with respect to silk proteins. Furthermore, the assignments of the signals of copolypeptides by comparison with oligo- and homo-polypeptides are discussed. Finally, it was demonstrated that intramolecular H bonds cause downfied shifts of 7–10 ppm of the acceptor amide groups.     

Comparison between two anionic reverse micelle interfaces: the role of water-surfactant interactions in interfacial properties

The water/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (NaDEHP) reverse micelle (RM) system is revisited by using, for the first time, molecular probes to investigate interface properties. The solvatochromic behavior of 1-methyl-8-oxyquinolinium betaine (QB) and 6-propionyl-2-(N,N-dimethyl)aminonaphthalene (PRODAN) in the water/NaDEHP/toluene system is studied, and the results are compared with those obtained in water/sodium 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/toluene RM media. The results demonstrate that the micropolarity, microviscosity, interfacial water structure, molecular probe partition, and intramolecular electron-transfer processes are dramatically altered for NaDEHP RM interfaces in comparison to the AOT systems. Because of organic nonpolar solvent penetration into the interface, NaDEHP RM media offer an interface with lower micropolarity and microviscosity than AOT media. Also, the interfacial water in the NaDEHP system shows enhanced water-water hydrogen-bond interaction in comparison with bulk water. The AOT RM interface represents a unique environment for PRODAN to undergo dual emission.

Separation and characterisation of five polar herbicides using countercurrent chromatography with detection by negative ion electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry.

Five polar herbicides were separated and characterised using high-speed analytical countercurrent chromatography (HSACCC) in conjunction with online electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The countercurrent chromatography used a standard isocratic biphasic solvent system of hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water in reverse phase to effect the separation of these five environmentally important compounds. The chromatograph was coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer via a standard electrospray liquid chromatography interface that was able to give mass spectra in negative ion mode of each compound. Limits of detection are reported for this series of compounds along with representative negative ion ESI-MS data and calibrations for the separation.     

Isolation of all-trans lycopene by high-speed counter-current chromatography using a temperature-controlled solvent system

The effect of solvent system, partition coefficient, retention of stationary phase, column, revolution speed, and flow rate of mobile phase are well known parameters to effect HSCCC (high-speed counter-current chromatography) separations. Temperature effects on chromatographic techniques like HPLC and GC are well studied, but the influence of temperature on CCC solvent systems is hardly investigated. This paper presents the influence of temperature on several key parameters (partition coefficient, settling time, volume ratios) in the hydrophobic HSCCC solvent system hexane:dichloromethane:acetonitrile (30:11:18, v/v/v) used for the isolation of lycopene from tomato paste at 10, 15, 20 and 25 degrees C.     

Golden rules and pitfalls in selecting optimum conditions for high-speed counter-current chromatography

This paper aims to be an aid to those chemists who are interested in utilizing high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC), which is free of irreversible adsorption and offers high resolution comparable to column chromatography. It explains the selection of HSCCC conditions step by step including the selection of two-phase solvent systems, determination of partition coefficient (K) of analytes, preparation of two-phase solvent system and sample solution, selection of elution mode, flow rate, rotation speed, and on-line monitoring of the eluate. The paper covers both standard HSCCC and pH-zone-refining CCC techniques. Technical terms (italic) unfamiliar to the beginner are comprehensively explained in Glossary. Various examples of two-phase solvent systems used in HSCCC are listed in Appendices A and B. The commercial sources of HSCCC and other CCC instruments are described in detail in the study edited by Berthod [A. Berthod (Ed.), Counter-current Chromatography, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2003].
