Chiral recognition of amino esters by a ruthenium porphyrin complex: kinetics of the exchange process determined by 1H NMR

The synthesis of a (carbonyl) (valine methyl ester) ruthenium(II) picket-fence complex bearing optically active α-methoxy-α(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl residues on both sides of the porphyrin plane (α,β,α,β-isomer) is described. For various amino esters, chiral recognition was observed for the complexation of the ligand with up to 52% enantiomeric excess for tert-leucine methyl ester. The dissociation rate constants of the two enantiomers of valine methyl ester were determined by ¹H NMR using magnetization transfer experiments, showing that the origin of the enantioselectivity in favour of the (l)-valine (ca. 2.6:1) resides in the difference between the kinetics of the axial ligand dissociation of the two enantiomers.     

Synthesis of chiral water-soluble metalloporphyrins (Fe, Ru,): new catalysts for asymmetric carbene transfer in water

The reaction of optically active Halterman porphyrin with sulfuric acid (95%) provided the expected water-soluble para-tetrasulfonated porphyrin in 82% yield. The metalloporphyrin complexes were prepared by metal insertion (iron) or direct sulfonation of the chiral ruthenium porphyrin. The asymmetric addition of diazoacetate to styrene to give optically active trans cyclopropyl ester (ee up to 86%) was carried out in water by using chiral iron or ruthenium porphyrins with a possible reuse due to the high solubility and stability in aqueous solution.

Mono‐6A‐(4‐methoxybutylamino)‐6A‐β‐cyclodextrin as a chiral selector for enantiomeric separation

A new member of the family of methoxylalkylamino monosubstituted β‐cyclodextrins, mono‐6^A‐(4‐methoxybutylamino)‐6^A‐β‐cyclodextrin, has been developed as a chiral selector for enantioseparation in capillary electrophoresis. This amino cyclodextrin exhibited good enantioselectivities for 16 model acidic racemates including three dansyl amino acids at an optimum pH of 6.0. Excellent chiral resolutions over six were obtained for α‐hydroxy acids and 2‐phenoxypropionic acids with 3.0 mM chiral selector. The good chiral recognition for α‐hydroxyl acids was attributed to inclusion complexation, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen‐bonding‐enhanced chiral recognition was revealed by NMR spectroscopy. The chiral separation of acidic racemates was further improved with the addition of methanol (≤10 vol%) as an organic additive.     

Urea-tetrahydrobenzoxanthene receptors for carboxylic acids

Hydrogen-bonding receptors for carboxylic acids have been prepared based on a cis tetrahydrobenzoxanthene skeleton. X-ray diffraction study of one of these compounds revealed that the cleft is suitable for establishing strong linear hydrogen bonds with the oxygen of a water molecule. Complexes that set only three H-bonds with the guests showed no chiral recognition with amino acid derivatives. However, suitable functionalization of the receptor provided a fourth H-bond with certain amino acid derivatives, leading to significant enantioselective complexation in this case.     

Aryl Crown Ethers Based on d-Glucose Scaffold – Highly Selective Receptors of Amino Acid Ester Hydrochlorides

Amino acids are important biomolecules with a broad scope of applications in chemical and biological sciences. Their functions and properties depend on their absolute configuration. Therefore, methods for chiral recognition and separation of amino acids are highly sought after. For the purposes of diagnostic and medicinal applications chiral recognition of amino acids in water is particularly relevant. However synthetic receptors for enantioselective binding of amino acids in aqueous media are rare. Recently we reported a d -glucose-based crown ether for chiral recognition of amino acid esters in water. We achieved enantioselectivities towards amino acids with hydrophobic sidechains which were among the highest ever reported for a small molecule receptor. The binding affinities were however moderate. Herein we disclose analogs of that receptor, containing aryl functionalities in the crown ether fragment. The new receptors show considerably improved binding affinities for amino acid ester hydrochlorides in water, while retaining high enantio- or chemoselectivities.

The Enantioresolution of n-Benzoyl and Its Analogs Derivatized Amino Acids on Cyclodextrin Bonded Chiral Stationary Phases Using a Nonaqueous Acetonitrile-Based Mobile Phase

The separation of amino acids into enantiomers while derivatizing with benzoyl chlorides is demonstrated. It was found that enantioselectivity among these reagents tagging with the same amino acid is quite different and is very sensitive to its structural variations. A noninclusion complexation mechanism i.e. external association is thought to involve in the separation carried out with a nonaqueous polar organic mobile phase. Results also indicate that the chiral recognition seems to be controlled either by moieties from tagging reagents or functional groups on all amino acids examined in this study on the basis of competition. The polarity of side-chain group on peptide backbone can not be ignored in achieving a successful separation. Furthermore, chiral recognition appears to closely rely upon the location of stereogenic center that is simultaneously attached by amino and carboxyl groups. Finally, mechanism involved will be explored structurally with these tagging reagents derivatized amino acids which structures are highly ordered and amine-containing compounds with structures similar to that of amino acid.     

奎宁-冠醚组合型手性固定相直接拆分氨基酸的机理

合成了一种新型奎宁-冠醚组合型手性固定相(QN-CR CSP)并用于氨基酸手性对映体的直接拆分,该固定相对12种氨基酸对映体有良好的手性拆分能力。基于氨基酸手性识别中离子交换和络合的协同作用,建立了一种新型的等温吸附模型。通过迎头特殊点洗脱法(FACP)测定色氨酸(Trp)在不同金属离子添加剂条件下的等温吸附线,验证了模型的合理性。流动相中的Li⁺、Na⁺、K⁺等金属离子与氨基酸竞争固定相中的冠醚络合位点,随着金属离子与冠醚的络合作用力和络合吸附平衡常数增大,固定相对Trp的手性拆分能力下降。该模型的建立对理解氨基酸在此类固定相中的手性保留行为以及固定相结构的进一步优化具有重要意义。     

Complexation of amino acids derivatives in water by calix[4]arene phosphonic acids

Series of the calix[4]arene phosphonic acids with various substituents at the lower rim was synthesized. Complexing properties of these receptors towards methyl esters of six amino acids strongly depended on the calix[4]arene conformation flexibility. The complex formation processes were monitored using ¹H NMR spectroscopy (deuterated phosphate buffer at pD 7.3, 22 °C) and association constant values were evaluated. Inherently mobile calix[4]arene molecule 3 occurred in cone conformation in aqueous solution turned out to be more effective in complexation of the basic amino acids methyl esters compared to the rigid 2 and flexible 4. Mixed 1:2 and 2:1 (host–guest) complexes were observed for compound 1 with all amino acids methyl esters.

Diastereo‐ and Enantioselective anti‐Selective Hydrogenation of α‐Amino‐β‐keto Ester Hydrochlorides and Related Compounds Using Transition‐Metal–Chiral‐Bisphosphine Catalysts

This review describes our recent works on the diastereo‐ and enantioselective synthesis of anti‐β‐hydroxy‐α‐amino acid esters using transition‐metal–chiral‐bisphosphine catalysts. A variety of transition metals, namely ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh),iridium (Ir), and nickel (Ni), in combination with chiral bisphosphines, worked well as catalysts for the direct anti‐selective asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐amino‐β‐keto ester hydrochlorides, yielding anti‐β‐hydroxy‐α‐amino acid esters via dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) in excellent yields and diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. The Ru‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐amino‐β‐ketoesters via DKR is the first example of generating anti‐β‐hydroxy‐α‐amino acids. Complexes of iridium and axially chiral bisphosphines catalyze an efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐amino‐β‐keto ester hydrochlorides via dynamic kinetic resolution. A homogeneous Ni–chiral‐bisphosphine complex also catalyzes an efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐amino‐β‐keto ester hydrochlorides in an anti‐selective manner. As a related process, the asymmetric hydrogenation of the configurationally stable substituted α‐aminoketones using a Ni catalyst via DKR is also described.     

A study of chiral recognition for NBD-derivatives on a Pirkle-type chiral stationary phase.

A chiral stationary phase (CSP 1) derived from an (S)-N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-1-naphthylglycine showed excellent enantiomeric separation for amino acid derivatives with a fluorogenic reagent, 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F), in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We compared elution profiles (separation factor and elution order) of NBD-amino acids and their analogs on HPLC, to determine the diastereomeric complex between the chiral moiety of CSP 1 and NBD-amino acid, which is responsible for the chiral recognition. (1)H-NMR studies of a mixture of model compound of CSP 1 and NBD-Ala suggest that the diastereomeric complex is composed of two hydrogen bonding sites at the amino proton and oxygen atom, and a pi-pi interaction by the benzofurazan structure (2,1,3-benzoxadiazole) of NBD-amino acid. Furthermore CSP 1 was able to separate esters, amides and alpha-methyl amino acids derivatized with NBD-F.     

Comparison of the chiral resolution on cis-trans isomeric chiral stationary phases derived from (S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine

A pair of cis-trans isomeric chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from (S)-1-(1-naphtyl)ethylamine was prepared. The chromatographic behaviours on both CSPs with regard to the resolution of enantiomeric amino acids, amino alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acid were studied. According to separation factors, the trans-CSP showed better chiral recognition ability for the separation of most analytes chosen in this study. Three homologous series of the alkyl esters of racemic amino acids were resolved on both CSPs using n-hexane-2-propanol and n-hexane-dichloromethane as mobile phases. The trans-CSP also showed better enantioselectivity for the resolution of homologues. A reverse of elution order was observed for the resolution of the homologous series of phenylglycine alkyl esters on both CSPs. It was found that the relationship between the separation factor and the alkyl chain length of the ester homologous series depended upon the components of mobile phase. A higher magnitude of difference between the two CSPs in enantioselectivity for the resolution of a given homologue was obtained when n-hexane-dichloromethane was used as a mobile phase. A chiral recognition process, in which steric repulsion, face-to-face π-π interaction, face-to-edge π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction were involved, was also suggested to describe the separation of enantiomeric homologues on both CSPs. This study clearly indicates that the chiral resolution is influenced by the geometry of the double bond in a CSP.     

Homohelicity induction of propylene-linked zinc bilinone dimers by complexation with chiral amine and α-amino esters. Preorganization of structurally coupled homohelical subunits

Homohelicity induction of a series of propylene-linked zinc bilinone (ZnBL; linear tetrapyrrople-zinc(II) complex) dimers upon complexation with chiral amine and α-amino esters was investigated. Introduction of substituents such as dimethyl and diisobutyl to the central carbon of the propylene spacer gave rise to stabilization of the homohelical (PP and MM) conformers rather than the heterohelical (PM) conformer. As bulkiness of the substituent increased, stability of the homohelical conformers was raised. The preorganization of the homohelical structures led to significantly amplified homohelicity induction upon complexation with chiral amine and α-amino esters.     

Resolution of α-aminolactams by inclusion complexation with chiral host compounds

3-Aminopiperidin-2-one and α-amino-ε-caprolactam were efficiently resolved by inclusion complexation with a chiral host compound, (R,R)-(−)-trans-4,5-bis(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. The amino substituent on the lactam ring was found to play an important role in efficient chiral recognition in the inclusion crystals.     

Synchronous helicity control in zinc bilinone trimer

In order to develop an artificial signal transmission/amplification system triggered by chiral recognition, we synthesized a series of zinc bilinone (ZnBL) trimers bearing a tripodal spacer and investigated homohelicity induction by complexation with chiral α-amino esters. Controlling the length of the peripheral alkyl groups in ZnBL moieties led to preorganization of the trimer to homohelical conformers. In addition, complexation with chiral α-amino esters induced the formation of the chiral homohelical conformer in which three ZnBL moieties adopted the same helicity.
