双选择体手性固定相中选择体的构型对分离性能的影响

为研究选择体的构型对双选择体固定相手性识别的影响,以(1S,2S)-(~)-二苯基乙二胺及L-(~)-二苯甲酰酒石酸为手性源,合成了一种新的双选择体固定相,并用不同结构的手性样品测试了其手性分离能力。结果表明,这种固定相与以(1R,2R)-(+)-二苯基乙二胺及L(~)-二苯甲酰酒石酸为手性源制备的双选择体固定相有相当的手性分离能力,但这两种固定相所能分离的化合物不尽相同。对双选择体固定相中两个选择体的构型对固定相手性识别的影响进行了探讨。在手性识别中,以不同手性源制备的两个选择体的立体构型不能同时与一个手性样品的立体构型相匹配,从而导致相应的双选择体固定相手性分离能力的下降。     

Enantiomer separation and indirect chromatographic absolute configuration prediction of chiral pirinixic acid derivatives: Limitations of polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases in comparison to chiral anion-exchangers

Chiral α-arylthiocarboxylic acids with different substitution patterns, representing new pirinixic acid derivatives with dual PPARα/γ agonistic activities, have been separated into enantiomers on tert-butylcarbamoylquinine and quinidine based chiral anion-exchangers and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) coated silica on analytical and preparative scale. Absolute configurations of individual enantiomers were assigned chromatographically via elution orders on the chiral anion-exchangers and were confirmed by stereoselective syntheses via Ewans auxiliaries that have lead to enantiomeric products with known absolute configurations. The results of both methods were in full agreement. Moreover, the receptor stereoselectivity in PPARα transactivation activities was consistent within the test set of structurally related compounds. Limited correlation (between elution order and substitution) was observed within the set of α-arylthiocarboxylic acids on the amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) based chiral stationary phase (CSP), in particular the elution order changed with remote substitution. This clearly demonstrates the risks of chromatographic absolute configuration assignments by prediction from one structural analog to another one, especially with CSPs such as polysaccharide CSPs that are recognized for their broad applicability due to multiple binding and chiral recognition modes. It is therefore of utmost importance that such chromatographic absolute configuration predictions by extrapolation to structural analogs are combined with orthogonal methods for verification of the results.     

Preparation of two new liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases based on diastereomeric chiral crown ethers incorporating two different chiral units and their applications

Two new liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases based on diastereomeric chiral crown ethers incorporating two different chiral units such as optically active 3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl and tartaric acid unit were prepared. Between the two CSPs, one was much superior to the other especially in the resolution of tocainide and its analogues (for example, in the resolution of tocainide the separation factor, alpha, was 4.26 vs. 1.00 on the two CSPs). From these results, the two chiral units composing the two diastereomeric chiral crown ether moieties of the stationary phases were expected to show "matched" or "mismatched" effect on the chiral recognition according to their stereochemistry. The different chiral recognition abilities of the two CSPs were rationalized by the different three-dimensional structures of the two diastereomeric chiral crown ethers.     

The Resolution of Enantiomeric Ibuprofen on Chiral Stationary Phases Containing N-Arylcarbamoyl Derivatives of Phenylglycine

A series of fourteen anilide derivatives of ibuprofen were resolved on six chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from N-arylcarbamoyl derivatives of (S)-phenylglycine. Excellent chiral resolutions were achieved on these CSPs. The ionic-type CSPs showed better chiral recognition abilities than the corresponding covalent-type CSPs, and the CSP bearing two chiral centers has better performance than the CSPs bearing only one chiral center. The highest separation factor was achieved using the ionic-type CSP bearing two chiral centers for the resolution of the 3,5-dinitroanilide derivative of ibuprofen. This result is better than those reported in literature for the resolution of ibuprofen on the CSPs derived from amino acids, According to the chromatographic behaviors, the hydrogen bonding interaction, the π-π interactions provided by the phenyl groups in CSPs bearing one chiral center, and the phenylethylcarbamoyl moiety in CSPs bearing two chiral centers dominate the chiral recognition.     

Small Molecules as Chromatographic Tools for HPLC Enantiomeric Resolution: Pirkle-Type Chiral Stationary Phases Evolution

This review focuses on the evolution of Pirkle-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs), based on chiral recognition mechanism of small molecules and applications directly related with Medicinal Chemistry. Therefore, the strategies to plan these chiral selectors for enantioseparation of diverse therapeutic classes of chiral drugs and the understanding of the recognition mechanism are emphasized. The planning of Pirkle and co-workers to design different classes of CSPs was initially based on NMR studies, following the principle of reciprocity together with chromatographic results and studies of chiral recognition phenomena. All those features are described and critically discussed in this review. Finally, based on general principles established by Pirkle’s work it can be inferred that diverse chiral small molecules can be successfully used as chromatographic tools for enantiomeric resolution. In this context, several research groups were inspired on Pirkle’s design to develop new CSPs. Xanthone derivatives bonded to chiral groups were also exploited as selectors for CSPs and are briefly reported.

Conformational and temperature effects on separation of stereoisomers of a C3,C4-substituted beta-lactamic cholesterol absorption inhibitor on amylose-based chiral stationary phases

A direct liquid chromatography method was developed for the diastereo- and enantioselective analysis of a C3,C4-substituted beta-lactamic hypolipodemic agent (SCH 48461) and its stereoisomers on two commercially available amylose-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs), namely, Chiralpak AS and Chiralpak AD. The mobile phase composition (type and content of alcoholic modifier) was considered to achieve baseline resolutions in a single chromatographic run. In order to investigate the influence of molecular flexibility on chiral recognition process, beta-lactams were ring-opened and converted into beta-amino esters derivatives. Thermodynamic parameters associated with adsorption equilibria between acyclic and cyclic stereoisomers and CSPs were calculated from chromatographic runs at various temperatures.     

Covalently bonded polysaccharide derivatives as chiral stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography

Polysaccharide derivatives have been extensively used as chromatographic chiral selectors in chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the separation of enantiomers by HPLC. When coated onto a silica matrix, they represent nowadays one of the most popular type of CSPs. However, they are only compatible with a limited choice of solvents. The main drawback of these CSPs is related to the solubility of the chiral selector in a number of solvents, which limits their applicability. The different attempts which have been described up to now to overcome this problem by covalently fixing the chiral selector to a matrix are reviewed in this paper.     

Evaluation of the chiral recognition properties as well as the column performance of four chiral stationary phases based on cellulose (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) by parallel HPLC and SFC

The performance of four commercially available cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) was evaluated with parallel high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and super critical fluid chromatography (SFC). Retention, enantioselectivity, resolution and efficiency were compared for a set of neutral, basic and acidic compounds having different physico-chemical properties by using different mobile phase conditions. Although the chiral selector is the same in all the four CSPs, a large difference in the ability to retain and resolve enantiomers was observed under the same chromatographic conditions. We believe that this is mainly due to differences in the silica matrix and immobilization techniques used by the different vendors. An extended study of metoprolol and structure analogues gave a deeper understanding of the accessibility of the chiral discriminating interactions and its impact on the resolution of the racemic compounds on the four CSPs studied. Also, a clear difference in enantioselectivity is observed between SFC and LC mode, hydrogen bonding was found to play an important role in the differential binding of the enantiomers to the CSPs.     

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.     

Experimental support differenciating two proposed chiral recognition models for the resolution of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-arylalkylamines on high-performance liquid chromatography chiral stationary phases

In rationalizing the odd chromatographic behavior for the separation of the enantiomers of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-arylalkylamines on HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from alpha-(6,7-dimethyl-1-naphthyl)alkylamines, we initially suggested the occurrence of two competing, opposite sense chiral recognition processes termed the "dipole-stacking process" and the "hydrogen-bonding process". A simplified "single mechanism" model was later suggested with the importance of face to edge pi-pi interaction between aromatic rings come to recognized. The initial and subsequent chiral recognition models can be differentiated by noting the chromatographic trends for the enantioseparation of a homologous series of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-(p-alkylphenyl)ethylamines on the aforementioned CSPs. Data so obtained were consistent with the second "single mechanism" model but not with the first "two competing mechanism" model. From these results, it has been concluded that the "single mechanism" model is more plausible than the "two competing mechanism" model.     

The Evolution of Chiral Stationary Phases for Liquid Chromatography

The development of effective chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and separation strategies for the liquid chromatographic (LC) resolution of enantiomers has been beneficial to many scientific disciplines. Over the last decade the number and type of CSPs has expanded tremendously. Not only have new classes of chiral selectors been introduced, but also many of the first CSPs have been changed and/or improved. The second or third generation of a CSP often can be different from the original. This can be confusing and intimidating to someone just entering the area of LC enantiomeric separations. Fortunately, all CSPs can be categorized in one or another of a few classes. There are generally one or two columns that can accomplish the majority of separations in each class. In this work we look at the different classes of CSPs and how they have expanded and changed over the last decade.     

Mechanistic studies on the chiral recognition of polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases using liquid chromatography and vibrational circular dichroism: Reversal of elution order of N-substituted alpha-methyl phenylalanine esters

Enantiomeric separation of two aromatic α-substituted alanine esters was achieved on two commercially available polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs): amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (ADMPC) and cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC). The interactions between enantiomeric analytes and the CSPs were investigated using chromatographic methods and vibration circular dichroism (VCD). The two analytes differ on the aromatic portion of the molecules where one analyte has a π-acceptor aromatic ring (1) while the other has a π-donor aromatic ring (2). When an ADMPC CSP was employed, an increase in the polarity of the mobile phase leads to a reversal of the elution order for the two enantiomers of 1. The elution order of compound 2 was not affected by the polarity of the mobile phase. In order to gain an understanding of these phenomena, the enantiomeric separation of 1 and 2 was also performed on the CDMPC CSP. Interestingly, no reversal of elution order was observed upon the chromatographic separation of both pairs of enantiomers of compounds 1 and 2 upon increasing the solvent polarity when a CDMPC CSP was utilized. To understand the underlying mechanism governing these chiral separations, VCD was applied to study the structure of the ADMPC and CDMPC polymers and their conformational behaviors under chromatographic conditions. For the first time the conformations of the side chains of both polymers were revealed based on the VCD spectra along with DFT calculations. Furthermore, the interactions between the two analytes and the two CSPs were directly probed by VCD. By comparing the spectral differences of the two CSPs in the presence of the two analytes, the detailed interactions involving different functional groups associated with the chiral recognition were elucidated and thus explained the unusual reversal of elution order associated with increasing solvent polarity.

Liquid chromatographic resolution of vigabatrin and its analogue gamma-amino acids on chiral stationary phases based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

Racemic vigabatrin, an anticonvulsant drug used for the treatment of epilepsy, and its analogue gamma-amino acids were resolved without derivatization on liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid. Between the two CSPs which contain 3 methylene-unit or 11 methylene-unit spacer group, the latter was found to be greater than the former in the resolution of vigabatrin and its analogue gamma-amino acids, the separation, alpha, and the resolution factor, RS, for the resolution of vigabatrin on the latter being 1.91 and 4.57, respectively. The chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of vigabatrin and its analogue gamma-amino acids on the two CSPs were found to be dependent on the type and the content of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase.     

Separation and Simultaneous Determination of Enantiomers of Tau-fluvalinate and Permethrin in Drinking Water

The chiral liquid chromatographic separation of two pyrethroid insecticides, tau-fluvalinate and permethrin, on different polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) has been investigated. Complete separation of these compounds was achieved with Chiralcel OJ under normal phase mode and a mobile phase of n-hexane:ethanol (90:10, v/v). This method has been used for determining these compounds in drinking water at ppb levels after solid-phase extraction (SPE) with C-18 cartridges. Recoveries ranged between 103–113% and precision values (expressed as relative standard deviations) were lower than 10%.     

Effect of Chiral Additives in the Preparation of Cellulose-Based Chiral Stationary Phases in HPLC, and Effect on Enantiomer Resolution

Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) have been prepared by coating silica gel with cellulose tribenzoate or cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. The effect of chiral additives on preparation of the CSPs was studied with (+)-l-mandelic acid, (−)-2-phenyl-1-propanol, (+)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol and (−)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol as chiral additives for cellulose tribenzoate and (−)-2-phenyl-1-propanol and (+)-phenylsuccinic acid as chiral additives for cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. The results showed that chiral recognition by these stationary phases was increased in comparison with the original CSPs, especially the resolution (R _S) obtained. The method can be used to improve the efficiency of enantiomer separation by silica gel stationary phases coated with polymers.     

Monosubstituted positively charged cyclodextrins: Synthesis and applications in chiral separation

Several series of novel structurally well-defined positively charged CDs, applicable to alpha-, beta- and gamma-CDs for chiral separation using CE and chromatographic techniques have been developed. The chiral resolution capabilities of different series CDs towards amino acids and anionic analytes in CE are systematically investigated by considering all separation parameters including CD type, alkyl chain length of the cations attached to the CD rim, CD concentration, buffer pH, separation temperature and organic solvent. Typical results are demonstrated in the context. Examples of chiral separation with HPLC and supercritical fluid chromatography are first demonstrated by using coated chiral stationary phases (CSPs). Optimum CD loading content on the coated CSPs was explored in the chiral separation of neutral analytes.     

Preparative chromatographic separation of enantiomers.

The potential of the chromatographic separation of enantiomers on a preparative scale as a tool for the isolation of optically pure compounds is gaining increasing recognition. This review surveys the different chiral stationary phases (CSPs) used for preparative chromatography, emphasizing the advantages and drawbacks of each. The strategy to be followed for preparative separations is discussed and tables summarizing separations reported in the literature give an overview of practical applications. Cellulose triacetate has been used most frequently, probably because of its broad application range and its low production costs in comparison with more recently introduced CSPs. Nevertheless, the high efficiency of some of the novel CSPs is likely to contribute to the further development and expansion of the method.
