Retention behaviour of binaphthyl compounds in enantiomeric separation by microcolumn liquid chromatography with micellar bile-salt mobile phases

Summary Optical isomers of substituted binaphthyl, compounds such as 2,2-dihydroxy-1,1-dinaphthyl and 1,1-binaphthyl-2,2-diyl hydrogenphosphate are, separated by HPLC using micellar bile-salt mobile phases. Operating conditions which affect the optical resolution of these enantiomers are examined. The largest separation factor achieved for these enantiomers is 2.74. The elution order of the latter enantiomers changes with mobile phase composition.     

1,1′-Disubstituted 2,2′-di(n-perfluoropropyl)-5,5′-bibenzimidazolyls

The synthesis of 4,4-di(methylamino)- and 4,4-dianilino-3,3-diaminobiphenyls is described. The condensation of the tetraaminobiphenyls mentioned with phenyl perfluorobutyrate has given, respectively, 1,1-dlmethyl- and 1,1-diphenyl-2,2-(n-perfluoropropyl)-5, 5-bibenzimidazolyls. A study of the thermal stability of the 2-perfluoroalkylbenzimidazoles has shown that the replacement of the hydrogen of the imino group in these compounds by a methyl or a phenyl radical considerably increases their heat stability.

Electronic structure and models of receptor of monooxygenase inductors from a number of polychlorinated polycyclic compounds. IV. MNDO calculations of halogen-substituted azobenzenes

The electron and geometric structures of the cis and trans isomers of 3,3,4,4-tetrachloroazobenzene (3,3,4,4-TCAB) and the trans isomers of 3,3,5,5-TCAB and 3,3-dichloro-4,4-difluoroazobenzene were calculated by the MNDO method. It was established that the trans isomer, which has a planar structure, is most stable for 3,3,4,4-TCAB. Change in the position of the Cl atoms in the azobenzene, i.e., the transition from 3,3,4,4-TCAB to 3,3,5,5-TCAB, does not lead to appreciable change in the formation energy, the position of the electronic levels, the nature of the frontier orbitals, or the charge distribution in the molecules. This gives reason to suggest that the biological activity of 3,3,4,4-TCAB is due to the metabolism products and not to the action of the substrates themselves.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1797–1801, August, 1990.
