Preparation and Enantioseparation Property of Chiral Stationary Phases Based on Cellulose Tris(3,5-dimethylbenzoate)——A New Way to Prepare Polysaccharide-coating Type Chiral Stationary Phases

A new method to prepare polysaccharide-coating type chiral stationary phases （CSPs） was developed in this work. As a typical example, naked silica gel was coated by cellulose, which was then derivatized with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride to afford cellulose tris（3,5-dimethylbenzoate）-silica gel （CTDBS） complex. The silanols on CTDBS were end-capped with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane to obtain CSP 1. The amino groups on CSP 1 were further end-capped with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride to give CSP 2. The silanols on CTDBS were end-capped with methyltrimethoxysilane to yield CSP 3. CSPs 1-3 were characterized by FTIR, solid-state 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. The enantioseparation abilities of CSPs 1-3 were evaluated with structurally various chiral analytes. The enantioseparation results demonstrated that the end-capping moieties on CSPs 1 and 2 significantly affected enantioseparation. In addition, the effect of the structures of chiral analytes and end- capping moieties on the retention factors and the resolutions was discussed.     

Effect of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes on Cellulose Phenylcarbamate Chiral Stationary Phases

Single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs)have a high adsorption ability and nanoscale interactions.Cellulose trisphenylcarbamates possess high enantioseparation ability in high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Single-walled carbon nanotubes mixed with cellulose trisphenylcarbamate are coated on the silica gel as chiral stationary phases and higher enantioseparation factors are obtained.After a single-walled carbon nanotube is linked to the 6-position of cellulose 2,3-bisphenylcarbamate,its enantioseparation resolution increases compared to that of the cellulose trisphenylcarbamate.It is the first time that SWNTs have been applied to enantioseparation.The results indicate that the single-walled carbon nanotubes are good promoters of chiral recognition.This method can be used to improve the enantioseparation efficiency of the polysaccharide chiral stationary phases.     

Chiral separation abilities of homogeneously synthesized cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamates: Influences of degree of substitution and molecular weight

A series of cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamates(CDMPCs) with different degrees of substitution(DS) and degrees of polymerization(DP) were homogeneously synthesized in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride(Amim Cl). Then, the CDMPCs were coated on silica gel and used as chiral stationary phases(CSPs), and their chiral recognition abilities for seven racemates were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that DS and DP of CDMPCs had a great influence on chiral recognition abilities of the CSPs. The CSPs with the DS ≈ 1 gives a low chiral recognition to most racemates. On the contrast, the CSPs with the DS ? 2 exhibited high chiral separation abilities. For example, six racemates could be separated on the CSP with CDMPC of DS ≈ 2(CSP-2). Especially, for the enantioseparation of 1-(2-naphthyl) ethanol and Tr?ger's base, CSP-2 gave the highest separation ability in all of CSPs. On the other hand, when the DP of cellulose was in a range from 39 to 220, the chiral separation abilities of CDMPCs increased as the DP increased. This work demonstrates that the structure of cellulose esters such as DS and DP has important effect on their chiral separation ability, and therefore provides a practical method to design and prepare desirable CSPs for different racemates.     

Enantiomer Separation of α—Dimethyl Dicarboxylate Biphenyl and Related Biphenyl Compounds by Normal Phase HPLC on Polysaccharide Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Cellulose tris(4-methylphenylcarbamate),amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) and amylose tris (phenylcarbamate) were prepared by the method reported by Okamoto and were coated onto an aminopropylated mesoporous spherical silica gel.These final products were used as chiral stationary phases of high performance liquid chromatography for the eighteen structurally related biphenyl compounds.The resolution was made using normal-phase methodology with a mobile phase consisting of n-hexane-alcohol(ethanol,1-propanol,2-propanol or 1-butanol).The effects of various aliphatic alcohols in the mobile phase were studied.The structural features of the solutes that influence their k′ were discussed.A dominant effects of trifluoroacetic acid on chiral separation of acidic solutes was noted.     

Enthalpy-entropy compensation effect in gas chromatographic enantiomeric separation

In this paper, the enthalpy-entropy compensation effect in the enantiomeric separation by modified cyclodextrins (CD) and diamide chiral stationary phase (CSP) gas chromatography was investigated using the method of plotting △(△H) versus △(△G) rhm combined with t-test statistic analysis. The investigated racemates cover α-phenylethylamine and its analogs, 2-alkylamines, chiral acyclic alcohols, halogenated arylethanediol-1, 2-diperfluoropropionates, amino acid and its analogs, and two series of compounds containing chloro and bromo substituents. From the compensation analysis results, the effects of the diluent composition in the investigated chiral stationary phases, the size and the modified groups on investigated cyclodextrins, the derivatization methods and the groups attached to the stereocenters on enantiomeric separation mechanisms were all discussed.     

Retention behaviors of novel ionic liquid stationary phases and their selectivity for capillary gas chromatography

<正>One chloride-terminated ionic liquid(CTIL) and two hydroxyl-terminated ionic liquids(HTILs) were synthesized and used as stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography(CGC).Molecular interactions of these stationary phases were evaluated by Abraham solvation parameter model,indicating that the CTIL exhibits remarkably strong H-bond basicity and the HTILs possess both H-bond basicity and acidity.The molecular interactions were further confirmed by separation of a complex mixture consisting of ketones,aldehydes,esters,alcohols and aromatic compounds.It was found that the obtained solvation parameters correlate well with the chromatographic performances of the analytes in terms of elution order and resolution.The well correlated relationship between the solvation parameters and the selectivity of the CTIL and HTILs stationary phases is quite helpful in predicting and understanding the retention behaviors of different types of analytes on these stationary phases.     

Preparation of new hybrid organic/inorganic polymeric chiral stationary phases for ligand-exchange chromatography

Three new hybrid organic/inorganic polymeric ligand-exchange chiral stationary phases were developed by radical chain transfer reaction and surface grafting on silica gel,and successfully used for the enantioseparations of DL-amino acids and DL-hydroxyl acids.The resolutions were achieved by using water containing 2.0×10~(-4) mol/L of CuAc_2 as a mobile phase,column temperature of 40℃,flow rate of 1.0mL/min and detection at UV 254 nm.The elution order of D-isomer before L-isomer was observed for all DL-amino acids resolved except DL-Pro.     

A chiral stationary phase with special hydrophobic framework for ligand-exchange chromatography

A novel chiral stationary phase (CSP1) for ligand-exchange chromatography (CLEC) was prepared by firstly using dimethyl- chlorosilane as an endcapping reagent for decreasing residual silanol group on the surface of silica gel,and then introducing L-Pro as a chiral selector and hydrophobic octyl group to the silica gel surface simultaneously.The enantioseparations of 14 DL-amino acids on CSP1 were achieved with the enantioselectivityαranging from 1.09 to 2.44 and the resolution Rs being between 0.8 and 6.3.The chromatographic performances of CSP1 with the bonded phase (CSP2) prepared using reference method were compared.The results showed that the column efficiency and resolution Rs of chiral stationary phase could be improved by using the above modifying method.     

Thin Layer Chromatographic Study of Bauxite and Quantitative Estimation of Co-Existing Al3+, Fe2+ and Ti4

 Thin layer chromatography in combination with spectrophotometry and titrimetry has been used to evaluate chromatographic characteristics of bauxite constituents. The retention behaviors of four major constituents (Al3+, Fe2+, Ti4+, Si4+) in bauxite mineral have been examined on plain and modified layers of silica gel G, silica gel H and cellulose with mobile phases containing aqueous sodium chloride, formic acid and hydrochloric acid. Ternary separation of Al-Fe-Ti was achieved on chromatographic plates made of silica gel H. The pH effect and presence of impurity elements in samples, nature of stationary phases on the ternary separation and detection limits of bauxite constituents were studied. Silicon in bauxite was detected on cellulose plates. Quantitative determinations of Al3+, Fe2+ and Ti4+ on silica gel H impregnated with sodium formate layers were achieved by titrimetry and spectrophotometry.     

牛血清白蛋白手性毛细管整体柱的制备及对映体的分离

A silica-bonded bovine serum albumin (BSA) chiral monolithic stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography(CEC) was introduced. An inorganic-organic hybrid monolithic column was firstly prepared by sol-gel chemistry with homogeneously distributed aminopropyl groups throughout the silica matrix. Then the chiral stationary phase was synthesized by the in situ covalent immobilization of BSA on the monolithic column activated with glutaraldehyde. The effects of pH value and concentration of phosphate buffer on the separation of D,L-tryptophan were investigated. The separation factor of D,L-tryptophan reached 3.37 on CEC mode.

Enantioseparation characteristics of the chiral stationary phases based on natural and regenerated chitins

Natural and regenerated chitins were derivatized with 3,5‐dimethyphenyl isocyanate. The corresponding chiral stationary phases were prepared by coating the resulting chitin derivatives on 3‐aminopropyl silica gel. The swelling capacity of the chitin derivatives, enantioseparation capability, as well as eluents tolerance of the chiral stationary phases were evaluated. The results demonstrated no remarkable difference in enantioseparation capability between natural and regenerated chitins based chiral stationary phases. The similar enantioseparation characteristics of two chiral stationary phases could be understood by comparing the IR spectra of related chitin derivatives. The one of the two chiral stationary phases prepared by coating the chitin derivative with a lower molecular weight generally provided better enantioseparations. All chiral stationary phases can work in 100% chloroform, 100% ethyl acetate, 100% acetone, and the mobile phases containing a certain amount of tetrahydrofuran. The chiral stationary phase prepared from the chitin derivative with the highest swelling capacity exhibited better enantioseparations than others. This chiral stationary phase was damaged by flushing with 100% tetrahydrofuran, however, the enantioseparation capability was recovered again after the column was allowed to stand for 1 month. Furthermore, the recovered chiral stationary phase provided better enantioseparations for some chiral analytes than before.     

Evaluation of differences between Chiralpak IA and Chiralpak AD‐RH amylose‐based chiral stationary phases in reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography

Polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases can be used for the enantioselective separation of a wide range of structurally different compounds. These phases are available with chiral selectors coated or immobilized on silica gel support. The means of attachment of the chiral selector to the carrier can influence the separation performance of these stationary phases. This paper deals with evaluation of differences in the separation abilities of coated Chiralpak AD‐RH versus immobilized Chiralpak IA amylose‐based stationary phases in the reversed–phase mode of high–performance liquid chromatography. A set of chiral analytes was separated under acidic and basic conditions. Differences were observed in the enantioseparation potential of the tested phases. The linear‐free energy relationship and additional evaluation of ionic interactions were used to ascertain whether the interactions that participate in retention and enantioseparation are affected by the means of preparation of these phases. All the interactions covered by the linear‐free energy relationship were significant for the studied phases and their absolute values were almost always higher for the coated phase. Ionic interactions were found to be more important on the immobilized stationary phase but did not contribute to any improvement in the enantioselective separation performance.     

Improvement of proline chiral stationary phases by varying peptide length and linker

Seven new stationary phases with different number of proline units and/or different linkage to silica gel were prepared and evaluated in order to improve the performance of proline chiral stationary phases. The average separation factor achieved with the 53 analytes increases with the number of proline units in the stationary phases. When the proline peptides are directly attached to the 3-methylaminopropyl silica gel without using the 6-methylaminohexanoic acid linker, the stationary phases perform better overall. For decaproline chiral stationary phase 8, the separation also depends on the mobile phase system used. For this stationary phase, the CH2Cl2/hexanes/2-propanol system significantly outperforms the 2-propanol/hexanes system. For the 53 analytes tested, the separation factors achieved with this stationary phase compare well with those for three commercial columns.     

Arylcarbamoylated allylcarbamido-β-cyclodextrin: synthesis and immobilization on nonfunctionalized silica gel as a chiral stationary phase

Four new chiral stationary phases based on mono-(6^A-allylcarbamido-6^A-deoxy)-arylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin were synthesized. The chiral stationary phase of phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin exhibited excellent separation capability for a variety of chiral compounds. Compared with the previous work, it was found that the spacer remained on the surface of the silica gel and decreased the enantioseparation capability.     

Chiral separation of beta-adrenergic antagonists, profen non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and chlorophenoxypropionic acid herbicides using teicoplanin as the chiral selector in capillary liquid chromatography

Three groups of structurally diverse chiral compounds were used to study the interaction mechanism responsible for stereoselective recognition with teicoplanin as chiral selector in capillary liquid chromatography. Teicoplanin-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) was used. The effect of the variation of mobile phase composition on retention and enantioselective separation was studied. The mobile phase composition suitable for enantioresolution of the various chiral compounds differed according to the interaction forces needed for chiral recognition. Mobile phases with high buffer portion (70-90 vol.%) were preferred for separation of enantiomers of profen non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and chlorophenoxypropionic acid herbicides that require hydrophobic interactions, inclusion and pi-pi interactions for stereoselective recognition with teicoplanin. Higher concentration triethylamine in the buffer (0.5-1.0%) increased resolution of these acids. On the other hand, H-bonding and electrostatic interactions are important in stereoselective interaction mechanism of beta-adrenergic antagonists with teicoplanin. These interaction types predominate in the reversed phase separation mode with high organic modifier content (95% methanol) and in polar organic mobile phases. For this reason beta-adrenergic antagonists were best enantioresolved in the polar organic mode. The mobile phase composed of methanol/acetic acid/triethylamine, 100/0.01/0.01 (v/v/v), provided enantioresolution values of all the studied beta-adrenergic antagonists in the range 1.1-1.9. Addition of teicoplanin to the mobile phase, which was suitable for enantioseparation of certain compounds on the CSP, was also investigated. This system was used to dispose of nonstereoselective interactions of analytes with silica gel support that often participate in the interaction with CSPs. Very low concentration of teicoplanin in the mobile phase (0.1 mM) resulted in enantioselective separation of 2,2- and 2,4-chlorophenoxypropionic acids.     

Simultaneous separation and enantioseparation of thalidomide and its hydroxylated metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography in common-size columns, capillary liquid chromatography and nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography

The separation of thalidomide (TD) and its hydroxylated metabolites including their simultaneous enantioseparation was studied using three different polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in combination with polar organic mobile phases. Three different techniques, high-performance liquid chromatography in common-size columns, capillary LC and nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography were compared in terms of separation. As this study illustrates, polar organic mobile phases represent a valuable extension for less polar and polar aqueous-organic mobile phases in combination with polysaccharide CSPs. Chiralpak AD consisting of 25% of amylose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) coated on wide-pore aminopropylsilanized silica gel exhibited higher resolving ability compared to the similar cellulose derivative (Chiralcel OD) as well as to cellulose-tris(4-methylbenzoate) (Chiralcel OJ) CSPs for this particular set of chiral analytes. Baseline separation and simultaneous enantioseparation of all three compounds could be achieved under optimized separation conditions.     

Enantioseparation of selected N-tert.-butyloxycarbonyl amino acids in high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis with a teicoplanin chiral selector

Enantioseparation of N-tert.-butyloxycarbonyl amino acids (N-t-Boc-Aas) with teicoplanin chiral selector was performed in two different separation systems: A teicoplanin-based chiral stationary phase (CSP-TE) was used in reversed-phase HPLC, and the same chiral selector (CS) was added into a background electrolyte (BGE) in HPCE. The enantioselective interaction with the same CSP/CS can be influenced by several factors, such as mobile phase/background electrolyte composition: the buffer concentration, pH, the CS concentration, the presence of organic modifiers. In addition, the charge of the chiral selector related to the charge of the analyte and to EOF are important variables in CE. The effect of these parameters on enantioselectivity and enantioseparation of selected N-t-Boc-Aas was studied. The presence of a sufficient concentration (1% solution) of a triethylamine acetate buffer in the mobile phase was shown to be essential for enantioseparation of these blocked amino acids in HPLC. A certain concentration of teicoplanin aggregates (along with teicoplanin molecules) in the BGE is required to obtain enantioseparation of N-t-Boc-Aas in HPCE.     

Immobilized Polysaccharide-Based Stationary Phases for Enantioseparation in Normal Versus Reversed Phase HPLC

A set of 31 structurally different chiral pharmaceutical compounds was used as model analytes for investigation of the enantioselective potential of two immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases under normal and reversed phase separation conditions. These chiral stationary phases differed in the polymeric backbone, amylose or cellulose, but possessed the same derivatization functionality. The results showed that the tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) of amylose and cellulose have very broad, and often complementary, enantiorecognition abilities. In general, normal phase separation mode seemed to be more advantageous for separation of the majority of studied pharmaceuticals no matter if amylose- or cellulose-based columns were used. However, in certain cases the reversed phase separation system yielded better results. The combination of these two immobilized chiral stationary phases offers a powerful tool for enantioseparation of different types of pharmaceuticals in the normal and/or reversed phase mode.

     

Dendrimer-Like Chiral Stationary Phases Derived from (1R, 2R)-(+)-1,2-Diphenylethylenediamine and 1,3,5-Benzenetricarbonyl Trichloride

Three dendrimers were synthesized directly on aminated silica gel using (1R, 2R)-(+)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride as building blocks. The chiral stationary phases were obtained by modification of these dendrimers with phenyl isocyanate. All derivatives prepared on silica gel were characterized by FTIR spectrum, solid-state ¹H NMR and elemental analysis. The enantioseparation ability of the chiral stationary phases was preliminarily evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography. The chiral stationary phase of one-generation dendrimer exhibited best enantioseparation ability.
