Investigation of Enantiomer Separation by LC with a New Bonded Cellulose 3,5-Dimethylphenylcarbamate Chiral Stationary Phase

A chiral stationary phase has been prepared from the 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate of cellulose chemically bonded to 3-aminopropylsilica gel at the 6-positions of the glucose units. The phase has been used to study direct liquid chromatographic enantioselective separation of five racemates. The effects on resolution of modifiers (alcohols, THF, and chloroform), flow rate, and temperature were investigated. It was found that the concentration and structure of the alcohol modifier can affect the separation; enantiomer separations were improved to different extents by addition of THF or chloroform to the mobile phase. Flow rate and temperature can also effect the resolution of racemates. In the range 10–40°C there was a linear relationship between ln k (or ln α) and 1/T (r > 0.98) for four of the compounds. These results indicate retention mechanism does not change as a function of temperature.     

A novel pillar[3]trianglimine macrocycle with a deep cavity used as a chiral selector to prepare a chiral stationary phase by thiol-ene click reaction for enantioseparation in high-performance liquid chromatography

A chiral pillar[3]trianglimine (C₆₀H₇₂N₆O₆) with a deep cavity has been developed as a chiral selector and bonded to thiolated silica by thiol-ene click reaction to fabricate a novel chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation in high-performance liquid chromatography. The enantioseparation performance of the fabricated chiral stationary phase has been evaluated by separating various racemic compounds, including alcohols, esters, amines, ketones, amino acids, and epoxides, in both normal-phase and reversed-phase elution modes. In total, 14 and 17 racemates have been effectively separated in these two separation modes, respectively. In comparison with two widely used chiral columns (Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralpak AD-H), our novel chiral stationary phase offered good chiral separation complementarity, separating some of the tested racemates that could not be separated or were only partially separated on these two commercial columns. The influences of analyte mass, mobile phase composition, and column temperature on chiral separation have been investigated. Good repeatability, stability, and column-to-column reproducibility of the chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation have been observed. After the fabricated column had been eluted up to 400 times, the relative standard deviations (n = 5) of resolution (Rs) and retention time of the separated analytes were < 0.39% and < 0.20%, respectively. The relative standard deviations (n = 3) of Rs and retention time for column-to-column reproducibility were < 4.6% and < 5.2%, respectively. This study demonstrated that the new chiral stationary phase has great prospects for chiral separation in high-performance liquid chromatography.     

Synthesis and chromatographic evaluation of new polymeric chiral stationary phases based on three (1<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>,2<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-(−)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine derivatives in HPLC and SFC

Three new polymeric chiral stationary phases were synthesized based on (1S,2S)-1,2-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)ethylenediamine, (1S,2S)-1,2-bis(2-chlorophenyl)ethylenediamine, and (1S,2S)-1,2-di-1-naphthylethylenediamine via a simple free-radical-initiated polymerization in solution. These monomers are structurally related to (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine which is the chiral monomer used for the commercial P-CAP-DP polymeric chiral stationary phase (CSP). The performance of these three new chiral stationary phases were evaluated in normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography and the results were compared with those of the P-CAP-DP column. All three new phases showed enantioselectivity for a large number of racemates with a variety of functional groups, including amines, amides, alcohols, amino acids, esters, imines, thiols, and sulfoxides. In normal phase, 68 compounds were separated with 28 baseline separations (Rs ≥ 1.5) and in SFC, 65 compounds were separated with 24 baseline separations. In total 72 out of 100 racemates were separated by these CSPs with 37 baseline separations. Complimentary separation capabilities were observed for many analytes. The new polymeric CSPs showed similar or better enantioselectivities compared with the commercial column in both HPLC and SFC. However, faster separations were achieved on the new stationary phases. Also, it was shown that these polymeric stationary phases have good sample loading capacities while maintaining enantioselectivity.     

Chiral stationary phases based on cinchona alkaloids for the HPLC resolution of racemates

Summary The employment of three chiral stationary phases (CSPs) obtained by derivatizing γ-mercaptopropyl-silanized silica gel with quinine, quinidine and N-methyl-quinium iodide, for the separation of organic racemates, is presented. They are quite useful in the resolution of alkylarylcarbinols, binaphthyl derivatives, amides and other substances of pharmaceutical interest.     

Enantioseparation tuned by solvent polarity on a β‐cyclodextrin clicked chiral stationary phase

The efficient enantioseparation of 26 racemates has been achieved with the perphenylcarbamoylated cyclodextrin clicked chiral stationary phase by screening the optimum composition of mobile phase in high‐performance liquid chromatography. The chromatographic results indicate that both the retention and chiral resolution of racemates are closely related to the polarity of the mobile phases and the structures of analytes. The addition of alcohols can significantly tune the enantioseparation in normal‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography. The addition of methanol and the ratio of ethanol/methanol or isopropanol/methanol played a key role on the resolution of flavonoids in ternary eluent systems. The chiral separation of flavonoids with pure organic solvent as mobile phase indicates the preferential order for chiral resolution is methanol>ethanol>isopropanol>n‐propanol>acetonitrile.     

Enantioseparation of novel chiral tetrahedrane-type clusters on an amylose tris (Phenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase

Summary Amylose tris(phenylcarbamate) (ATPC) coated on a small particle silica gel was prepared. This ATPC chiral stationary phase (ATPC-CSP) was found to be useful for the enantiomeric separation of some novel chiral tetrahedrane-type clusters. Moreover, the influence of mobile phase modifier and of the structure of chiral tetrahedrane-type clusters on the chiral separation and retention were investigated. The results suggest that not only the structure and concentration of alcohol in mobile phase, but also the subtle structural differences in racemates can have a pronounced effect on enantiomeric separation and retention.

Cellulose dimethylphenylcarbamate-bonded carbon-clad zirconia for chiral separation in high performance liquid chromatography.

Porous zirconia particles are very robust material and have received considerable attention as a stationary phase support for HPLC. We prepared cellulose dimethylphenylcarbamate-bonded carbon-clad zirconia (CDMPCCZ) as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for separation of enantiomers of a set of 14 racemic compounds in normal phase (NP) and reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography. Retention and enantioselectivity on CDMPCCZ were compared to those on CDMPC-coated zirconia (CDMPCZ) to see how the change in immobilization method of the chiral selector affects the retention and chiral selectivity. In NPLC, retention was longer and the number of resolved racemates was smaller on CDMPCCZ than on CDMPCZ. However, chiral selectivity factors for some resolved racemates were better on CDMPCCZ than on CDMPCZ. The longer retention on CDMPCCZ is likely due to strong, non-chiral discriminating interactions with the carbon layer on CDMPCZ. In RPLC only two racemates were resolved on CDMPCCZ, but retention times were shorter than, and resolutions were comparable to, those in NPLC, indicating a potential for improving chromatographic performance of the CDMPCCZ column in RPLC with optimized column preparation and separation conditions.     

Direct determination of the racemate ratio of labetalol hydrochloride by HPLC

Summary A direct, isocratic, reversed phase HPLC procedure is developed for the separation of the diastereomeric racemates of labetalol, a combined α- and β-adrenoreceptor antagonist. The aminoalcohol-type diastereomers were resolved on a C₁₈ column using methanolwater-25% ammonia 27-75-2 mobile phase and detection at 220nm. The procedure is simple and convenient to carry out. The method may be of use in the determination of the individual diastereomeric racemates of labetalol in different forms such as bulk substance, pharmaceutical dosage preparations and biological fluids. Presented at the 17th International Symposium on Chromatography, September 25–30, Vienna, Austria.     

Preparation and evaluation of monodispersed,submicron, non‐porous silica particles functionalized with β‐CD derivatives for chiral‐pressurized capillary electrochromatography

Submicron, non‐porous, chiral silica stationary phase has been prepared by the immobilization of functionalized β‐CD derivatives to isocyanate‐modified silica via chemical reaction and applied to the pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) enantio‐separation of various chiral compounds. The submicron, non‐porous, cyclodextrin‐based chiral stationary phases (sub_μm‐CSP2) exhibited excellent chiral recognition of a wide range of analytes including clenbuterol hydrochloride, mexiletine hydrochloride, chlorpheniramine maleate, esmolol hydrochloride, and metoprolol tartrate. The synthesized submicron particles were regularly spherical and uniformly non‐porous with an average diameter of around 800 nm and a mean pore size of less than 2 nm. The synthesized chiral stationary phase was packed into 10 cm × 100 μm id capillary columns. The sub_μm‐CSP2 column used in the pCEC system showed better separation of the racemates and at a higher rate compared to those used in the capillary liquid chromatography mode (cLC) system. The sub_μm‐CSP2 possessed high mechanical strength, high stereoselectivity, and long lifespan, demonstrating rapid enantio‐separation and good resolution of samples. The column provided an efficiency of up to 170 000 plates/m for n‐propylbenzene.

Enantioseparation by HPLC Using an Inorganic Chiral Mesoporous Silica with Highly-ordered Structure

Highly-ordered inorganic chiral mesoporous silica(HOCMS) has attracted substantial interest in recent decades. High performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) is the most important approach for the separation of enantiomers and herein reported an HPLC chiral stationary phase composed of HOCMS. The column was fabricated by conventional high pressure slurry packing. Eighteen racemates, including alcohols, ketones, amines, aldehydes and organic acids, were resolved on the column. Good chiral separations of hydrobenzoin, metoprolol, propranolol hydrochloride, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, omeprazole, 2,2'-furoin and ketoprofen were obtained. The relative standard deviations for five replicate separations of racemates were 0.1%-0.16% for retention time and 1.73%-2.64% for peak areas. The results suggest that HOCMS is a promising candidate for preparation of chiral stationary phases for HPLC.

Separation of neutral and basic enantiomers by cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography using anionic cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral pseudo-stationary phases

Separations of neutral and basic racemates were performed using five different anionic cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives as chiral selectors, viz. carboxymethylated β-CD, β-CD phosphate sodium salt, sulfobutyl ether β-CD sodium salt, carboxymethylated γ-CD, and γ-CD phosphate sodium salt. For the separation of neutral racemates, an untreated fused silica capillary was employed and various neutral racemates were successfully separated. Since the pH of the buffer affected the electroosmotic flow (EOF), the resolution was improved by changing the buffer pH. A polyacrylamide coated capillary was employed for the separation of basic racemates to suppress EOF and to prevent adsorption of cationic analyte on the capillary surface. By choosing an appropriate type and concentration of anionic CD, about 40 basic racemates were successfully separated. Some rough binding constants of basic analytes with an anionic β-CD were measured to discuss the optimum concentration of the CD. The migration direction was dependent on the binding constants and the concentration of the CD. The analyte strongly bound to the anionic CD migrated towards the anode but the weakly bound one moved towards the cathode. Anionic γ-CDs were also very useful for the separation of basic enantiomers. Five neutral CDs were employed as chiral selectors to compare selectivity between charged and neutral CDs, and eleven racemates could only be resolved using anionic CDs. The separation of some basic racemates in human plasma was also described. The direct injection of plasma samples was possible for some enantiomers that did not interact strongly with plasma proteins.     

Applications of Cellulose-Based Chiral Stationary Phases in the Resolution of Some Beta-Adrenoceptor Antagonists

Abstract

Cellulose tris (3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) known as Chiralcel OD chiral stationary phase (CSP) is one of the most commonly used cellulosic CSPs which have been successfully used for separation, enantiomeric purity determination and analysis of several drug racemates including β-adrenoceptor antagonists.

Resolution of timolol, penbutolol, celiprolol and carazolol enantiomers are achieved using this CSP. A possible chiral recognition mechanism(s) for these β-adrenergic blockers and this chiral stationary phase is presented.     

Separation of chiral furan derivatives by liquid chromatography using cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phases

The enantiomeric separation of a set of 30 new chiral furan derivatives has been achieved on native and derivatized beta-cyclodextrin stationary phases using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Cyclobond RSP), the 2,3-dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DM), and the acetyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Cyclobond AC) stationary phases are the most effective chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the separation of these racemates in the reverse phase mode. No enantioseparations have been observed on the native beta-cyclodextrin chiral stationary phase (Cyclobond I 2000) and only a few separations have been attained on the S-naphthylethyl carbamate beta-cyclodextrin (Cyclobond SN) and 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate beta-cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DMP) chiral stationary phases in the reverse phase mode. The polar organic and the normal phase mode on these CSPs are not effective for separation of these compounds. The characteristics of the analytes, including steric bulk, hydrogen bonding ability, and geometry, play an important role in the chiral recognition process. The pH affects the enantioseparation of compounds with ionizable groups and the addition of 0.5% methyl tert-butyl ether to the mobile phase significantly enhances the separation efficiency for some highly retained compounds.     

Separation of phenylsuccinic acid enantiomers using biphasic chiral recognition high‐speed countercurrent chromatography

High‐speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) combined with biphasic chiral recognition was successfully applied to the resolution of phenylsuccinic acid enantiomers. d ‐Isobutyl tartrate and hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin were employed as lipophilic and hydrophilic selectors dissolved in the organic stationary phase and aqueous mobile phase, respectively. The two‐phase solvent system was made up of n‐hexane/methyl tert‐butyl ether/water (0.5:1.5:2, v/v/v). Impacts of the type and concentration of chiral selectors, the pH value of the aqueous phase solution as well as the temperature on the separation efficiency were investigated. By means of preparative HSCCC, pure enantiomer was obtained by separating 810 mg of racemate with a purity >99.5% and a recovery rate between 82 and 85%. The experimental results indicate that biphasic recognition HSCCC provide a promising means for efficient separation of racemates.
