多糖类手性固定相超临界流体色谱法分离手性化合物

采用超临界流体色谱法(SFC),在多糖固定相Chiralpak IA、IB、IC、ID、IE和IF上成功拆分了11种手性化合物。分离结果表明,这6支手性色谱柱对这些手性化合物具有良好的手性识别互补性,均可以在10 min之内得到良好的分离结果,具有较好的实用性。改性剂甲醇、乙醇和异丙醇对手性化合物的保留时间以及手性选择性均具有良好的调节作用,需要根据不同手性物质在手性柱上的分离情况加以区别,选择使用,并调节改性剂至合适的比例。针对键合型固定相溶剂通用性的特征,特殊改性剂的应用也有助于优化手性分离。

Doubly tethered tertiary amide linked and ionically bonded diproline chiral stationary phases

Oligoproline chiral stationary phase (CSP) is a new class peptide chiral stationary phase. Many proline chiral stationary phases with different proline chain lengths and linkers have been prepared and evaluated. However, the doubly tethered and ionic type linkers have not been adequately investigated. In this study, covalently and ionically bonded chiral stationary phases with doubly tethered linker were prepared and characterized. The new covalently bonded doubly tethered diproline CSP was applied successfully to resolve various enantiomers of acidic, basic, and neutral compounds with phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, or similarly sized groups. The enantiorecognition performances of singly and doubly tethered diproline CSPs were comparable. Variation of the type and content of organic modifiers in hexane or heptane mobile phase showed that the branch alcohols such as 2‐propanol and 2‐butanol, 1,2‐dichloroethane, methyl tert‐butyl ether, and ethyl acetate in the mobile phase enhanced chiral separation. End‐capping on doubly tethered diproline CSP did not always improve the separation factor and resolution. Due to the rigid structure of the double tether, the enantioseparation ability of ionically bonded diproline CSP was well expressed to some analytes.     

L-脯氨酸衍生物为手性侧链的新型C_2对称型手性固定相

绕轴旋转180°能与自身重合的C_2对称型手性化合物在手性催化和手性分离领域有重要应用。以L-脯氨酸苯基酰胺衍生物为手性源,合成了一类新型的C_2对称型手性固定相,并进行了手性色谱拆分评价。与单侧链取代的刷型固定相进行对比,C_2对称型手性固定相对所评价的31种酸性、中性和碱性分析物表现出更好的手性选择性。考察了固定相末端苯环上的取代基团对手性拆分的影响,综合来看,苯环上无取代基的C_2对称型手性固定相的分离性能最优。对某些手性对映体,C_2对称型手性固定相的分离因子随温度的增高而呈现异常增大的现象,表明了其有别于单侧链取代的固定相的分离机理。该类新型手性固定相的提出对进一步丰富刷型手性固定相的种类和拓展其应用具有重要意义。     

Liquid chromatographic enantiomer separations of novel quinazolone derivatives on quinine carbamate based chiral stationary phases using hydro-organic mobile phases

Quinine carbamate-type weak chiral anion-exchange selectors (SOs) and the respective chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been used for the direct liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of a wide range of chiral acids. In the present work, we demonstrate that these CSPs can also be extended to chiral discrimination of a set of neutral polar potential NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartic acid) and/or AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid) antagonist imidazo-quinazoline-dione derivatives (selectands, SAs) using acetonitrile and methanol containing hydro-organic and buffered mobile phases. The influence of mobile phase composition, column temperature and structure variation of the SAs and SOs on retention and enantioselectivity was systematically investigated to gain insight into the overall chiral recognition mechanism. As was expected for the reversed-phase mode, acetonitrile has a stronger eluotropic effect compared to methanol. Except for two analytes, the acetonitrile containing mobile phases provided baseline resolution (R(S)) of the enantiomers with R(S) values ranging between 1.68 and 2.76. Using methanol as the organic modifier enhanced the enantioselectivity. The enthalpic and entropic terms for the SO-SA association were calculated from the linear van't Hoff plots. Data reveal that the enantiomer separations are predominantly enthalpically driven.     

Enantioselective separation of twelve pairs of enantiomers on polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases and thermodynamic analysis of separation mechanism

The enantioseparation of twelve pairs of structurally related 1‐aryl‐1‐indanone derivatives was studied in the normal‐phase mode using three different polysaccharide‐type chiral stationary phases, namely Chiralpak IB, Chiralpak IC, and Chiralpak ID. n‐Hexane/2‐propanol and n‐hexane/ethanol were employed as mobile phases. Among all the investigated chiral columns, Chiralpak IC exhibited the most universal and the best enantioseparation ability toward all the racemates, particularly with the mobile phase composed of n‐hexane/2‐propanol (90/10, v/v). Then the effects of column temperature on retention and enantioselectivity were examined in the range of 25–40°C. Satisfactory enantioseparation was obtained at ambient temperature. The natural logarithm of retention and separation factors (ln k and ln α) versus the reciprocal of absolute temperature (1/T) (Van't Hoff plots) were found to be linear for all racemates, indicating that the retention and separation mechanisms were independent of temperature in the range investigated. Then, the thermodynamic parameters (ΔΔH°, ΔΔS°, and ΔΔG°) were calculated from Van't Hoff plots. These values indicated that the solute transfer from the mobile to stationary phase was enthalpically favorable, and the process of enantioseparation was mainly enthalpy controlled. At last, the impact of small changes in molecular structures of the tested 1‐indanone derivatives on enantioseparation was also discussed.

手性分离在生物医药等领域具有重要意义。高效液相色谱(HPLC)因其经济、快速、高效等特点被广泛应用于手性化合物的分离分析中。手性固定相(CSP)是HPLC实现手性分离的核心,而制备有效CSP的关键在于手性选择剂的筛选。近年来,大量文献报道了新型CSPs的制备,其中键合型CSPs因具有溶剂耐受性和较高稳定性等优点受到了广泛关注。该文对近年来以手性单分子、多糖、环糊精、大环抗生素、冠醚、杯芳烃及生物碱等为手性选择剂制备的新型键合型CSPs进行了归纳整理,并对其发展前景进行了展望。     

Preparation and evaluation of a doubly tethered chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

A new doubly tethered chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared to enhance CSP stability as well as to take advantage of the tertiary amide linkage by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to bis(3-aminopropyl)silica gel. The new CSP was quite effective in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, beta-amino acids, amino alcohols, and amines and the chromatographic resolution behaviors of the new CSP were exactly consistent with those of the corresponding singly tethered CSP containing N-CH3 tertiary amide linkage. Direct comparison between the stabilities of the new CSP and the corresponding singly tethered CSP containing N-CH3 tertiary amide linkage under harsh chromatographic conditions reveals that the new CSP is more stable than the latter.     

Enantiomer separation by gas chromatography on cyclodextrin chiral stationary phases

Fused silica capillary columns coated with several alkyl or acyl cyclodextrin derivatives, especially those of α- and β-cyclodextrins, are suitable for the enantiomer separation of a wide variety of volatile compounds of different molecular size and functionality. Positional isomers and more than 250 pairs of optical isomers have been resolved, including chiral hydrocarbons, acetals, ethers, epoxides, carbonates, lactones, esters, acids, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, halocarbons, and also nitrogen-and sulfur-containing compounds. The physical properties of the cyclodextrin derivatives, even those obtained as viscous fluids, could be improved by dissolving them in polysiloxane liquid phases commonly used for GLC.     

Capillary gas chromatography separation of pyrethroic acid methyl esters using four acylated cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral stationary phases

Summary Four cyclodextrin derivatives (CDs) were synthesized by substituting 3-OH of 2,6-di-O-pentyl-β-cyclodextrin with four different chain lengths of acyl groups (butyryl, valeryl, heptanoyl, octanoyl). The chromatographic properties of the four CD derivatives as stationary phases of capillary gas chromatography (CGC) were investigated. These CDs exhibit a wide range of application. Not only five pairs of enantiomers of pyrethroic acid methyl esters were separated on the four CDs, but also some other racemic compounds. Among the four CDs, 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-butyryl-β-CD possesses better enantiomer separation abilities to the studied enantiomers of pyrethroic acid methyl esters than the other studied CDs. The extension of chain length of the acyl groups in 3-position of CDs cannot improve the enantiomer separation abilities of the CD derivatives.     

Direct enantiomeric separations of tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (III) complexes on polysaccharide derivative-based chiral stationary phases

A convenient method is presented for the first time for the direct separation of enantiomers of a tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (III) and an analog substituted with long alkoxy chains on polysaccharide derivative-based chiral stationary phases by HPLC. Tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (III) was separated on the immobilized amylose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (Chiralpak IA) using hexane/CHCl3/CH2Cl2 (75:20:5) as an eluent, and the analog could be separated on the coated cellulose 3,5-dimethyl-phenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OD) and cellulose 4-methylbenzoate (Chiralcel OJ) using hexane/2-propanol (96:4) as the eluent. CD spectra of the eluted HPLC fractions were also recorded, and the observed mirror image patterns confirm their enantioseparations.     

Chiralpak AD-H和Chiralcel OJ-H手性固定相拆分扁桃酸系列化合物

对比了商品化的淀粉型手性固定相Chiralcel OJ-H和纤维素型手性固定相Chiralpak AD-H柱在正相条件下对扁桃酸系列8个化合物的拆分,结果表明Chiralcel OJ-H柱对扁桃酸系列化合物具有更强的手性识别能力,8个外消旋扁桃酸化合物在36 min内都得到了基线分离。研究发现,扁桃酸苯环上的取代基对其拆分的难易程度影响很大,其电子诱导效应影响扁桃酸类化合物在固定相上的保留时间,其空间位阻效应是扁桃酸在固定相上被拆分成败的决定因素。通过对比分析扁桃酸和手性柱的结构,探讨了可能的手性拆分机理是基于Chiralpak AD-H(Chiralcel OJ-H)手性固定相和扁桃酸系列化合物之间的氢键-氢键、偶极-偶极、π-π电子相互作用以及空间适应性等诸多因素的综合影响,其中空间适应性起到至关重要的作用。本研究可为一些实际光学活性扁桃酸及其类似物的对映体纯度测定与拆分研究提供参考。

Some aspects of the preparative separation of enantiomers on chiral stationary phases

Summary In preparative column liquid chromatography, it is necessary to work with conditions of mass overload to obtain high throughput per unit time. The influence of sample mass and of eluent composition on the separation of R,S-1-(1-naphthylethyl)propylamide on chiral 3,5-dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine-silica (Pirkle type stationary phase) was investigated. At a sample load of 200μg of racemate per gram of stationary phase, the column becomes overloaded. At higher sample loads the peaks become triangular; therefore the first peak is always pure up to loads of 10mg g⁻¹, although resolution is low. The purity of the second peak depends on sample mass, but not on the strength (polarity) of the mobile phase. This is due to the effect that peak width, as well as resolution, decrease as the polarity of the eluent increases. In certain cases the polarimeter, used as a detector, can give more information on peak purity than the UV detector.     

Kinetic and equilibrium study of the enantioseparation of paroxetine intermediate on amylose and tartaric acid-based chiral stationary phases

trans-(-)-Paroxetine is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor currently used as an antidepressant. trans-(+/-)-3-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-(4'-fluorophenyl)-1-methylpiperidine-2,6-dione is an important intermediate of trans-(-)-paroxetine. It was separated on amylose and tartaric acid-based chiral stationary phases by HPLC. The equilibrium constants and overall mass transfer coefficients together with the axial dispersion coefficients were experimentally determined by moment analysis based on the lumped kinetic model of chromatography. In case of Kromasil CHI-TBB, the equilibrium constants measured were found to be 8.36 and 9.37 for trans-(+) and trans-(-) enantiomers, respectively. For Chiralpak AD-H, the equilibrium constants were 6.68 and 4.13 for trans-(+) and trans-(-) enantiomers, respectively. The axial dispersion coefficients of both enantiomers on Kromasil CHI-TBB column were about one order of magnitude greater than on Chiralpak AD-H. Fast kinetics of mass transfer in both chiral stationary phases was observed. Their overall mass transfer coefficients on Kromasil CHI-TBB and Chiralpak AD-H were 32.12, 33.18, 26.50, 46.85 s(-1) for trans-(+) and trans-(-) enantiomers, respectively. The parameters obtained were utilized to simulate the elution profiles, and the simulated and experimental results match well, which confirmed that the parameters obtained in this study were valid.     

Glucose, cellobiose, lactose and raffinose used as chiral stationary phases in HPLC

This paper presents the enantioseparation using glucose, cellobiose, lactose and raffinose as chiral selector bonded to silica gel via an arm in HPLC. Surprisingly, they also possess high enantioseparation selectivity, may be used in normal-phase and reversed- phase mode, and there is a big chiral discriminating complementary. This work indicates that oligosaccharides could soon become very attractive as a new class of chiral stationary phase for HPLC.     

Preparation and application of a chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(1 8-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid without extra free aminopropyl groups on silica surface

A crown ether-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) without extra aminopropyl groups on the surface of silica gel was newly prepared by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to silica gel. The new CSP was applied to the resolution of various racemic alpha-amino acids, amines, and amino alcohols. The chiral recognition efficiency of the new CSP was generally superior to that of the original CSP containing unreacted residual aminopropyl groups on the surface of silica gel in terms of the separation (alpha) and the resolution factors (Rs). The retention behaviors of analytes on the new CSP with the variation of the content of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase were consistent with those on the original CSP in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, but somewhat different in the resolution of racemic amines and amino alcohols from those on the original CSP and the difference was rationalized by the lipophilicity difference of the two CSPs. The effect of the column temperature on the chromatographic resolution behaviors on the new CSP was consistent with that on the original CSP.
