The influence of the memory effect on preparative separations using the amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) stationary phase

Acid/base mobile phase modifiers affect enantioseparations in ways that are not yet understood for the lack of systematic studies, which makes the scale-up of preparative separations difficult to predict. Shifts of the selectivity of certain pairs of enantiomers upon exposure of the column to these modifiers is amply documented. Furthermore, once the modifier has been removed from the mobile phase, the improved selectivity remains, this phenomenon has been named the memory effect. We selected four enantiomeric pairs for a systematic study of this memory effect. The selectivity of 4-chlorophenylalanine ethyl ester (4CPEE) improves after a solution of ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) is percolated through the column. The selectivity of propranolol HCl and Tröger's base increases after a solution of diiospropylethylamine is percolated through the column. The selectivity of these three pairs of enantiomers is inversely affected by percolation of the opposite acid/base solution. Each of these four compounds reached an equilibrium concentration that maintained the separation of the enantiomeric pairs. In contrast, the selectivity of trans-stilbene oxide (TSO) is not affected by either acid/base modifier. Preparative separations can be used to detect changes in the active surface of the chiral polymer stationary phase by measuring the change in selectivity and resolution when modifiers are used. Preparative method development was carried out on analytical columns and scale-up to 1 cm ID columns were performed in this study.     

Characterizing the Memory Effect on the amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl) carbamate stationary phase

Acid/base modifiers are sometimes used as additives in normal phase elution on columns packed with CHIRALPAK^® AD^®. They affect enantioseparations in ways that are not understood for the lack of systematic studies, which makes the scale-up of preparative separations difficult to predict. Once a column has been exposed to these modifiers, the selectivity of certain pairs of enantiomers may change, for the better or the worse. Numerous molecules that are affected by this phenomenon are listed in the literature. We selected five of them, the selectivity of which changes as more acidic or basic solutions are percolated through the column. The selectivity of ketoprofen, 4-chlorophenylalanine methyl and ethyl esters improves as a solution of Ethanesulfonic Acid is percolated through the column. The selectivity of Propranolol HCl and Tröger’s base increases as a solution of diisopropylamine is percolated through the column. Each one of these five compounds is inversely affected by the percolation of the opposite acid/base solution. We used trans-Stilbene Oxide (tso) as a “standard” to determine the columns stability because no Memory Effect is observed for it (its retention, enantioselectivity, and resolution remain constant). Karl Fisher titrations showed that only slight changes in the water content of the mobile phase occurred, and that a unique water to polymer moiety ratio is important. Analytical studies of the stationary phase suggest that slow protonation/deprotonation of water attached to the carbamate moiety may be responsible for the acid/base Memory Effect. Finally, we showed that the Memory Effect can be minimized by percolating through the column a sufficiently concentrated solution of the appropriate acid or base. Thus, columns that were unreliable for method development, due to the Memory Effect, can now be used. As a result, the need to store several CHIRALPAK AD columns, specific for each condition of the Memory Effect, is eliminated.     

Reversed-phase separations on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase

Summary The chiral separation of eight racemic compounds has been investigated on a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral column under reversed-phase conditions. The discrimination mechanism under reversed-phase conditions is discussed. Addition of acid to the mobile phase is necessary for resolution of acidic racemic compounds. The presence of ion-pair reagent in the mobile phase is a key factor in the resolution of basic racemic compounds. Retention of the racemates is also affected by addition of acid or salt. The anion in buffer not only interacts with the racemete, but also with the polysaccharide derivative on the silica gel surface.     

纤维素-三（3,5-二甲苯基氨基甲酸酯）手性固定相拆分氨鲁米特对映体

The influence of water on the memory effect of the amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) stationary phase

Acid/base modifiers are sometimes used as additives in normal phase elution on columns packed with CHIRALPAK^® AD^®. These modifiers affect enantioseparations in ways that are not yet fully understood for the lack of systematic studies. Shifts of the selectivity of certain pairs of enantiomers upon exposure of the column to these modifiers is amply documented. Furthermore, once the modifier has been removed from the mobile phase, the modified selectivity remains, which has been named the Memory Effect. After a column has been exposed to an eluent stream containing acidic/basic modifiers, this particular column no longer separates certain enantiomeric pairs with the same selectivity as a modifier naive column. This makes the transfer of developed methods from one to other CHIRALPAK AD columns difficult to predict, if the selectivity needs to be similar between the two columns. We selected four enantiomeric pairs for a systematic study of this Memory Effect. The selectivity of 4-chlorophenylalanine ethyl ester improves after a solution of ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) is percolated through the column. The selectivity of Propranolol and Tröger's base increases after a solution of Diiospropylamine is percolated through the column. The selectivity of Propranolol and Tröger's base enantiomers is inversely affected by percolation of the acid solution. The 4-chlorophenylalanine ethyl ester enantiomers is inversely affected by percolation of the base solution. In contrast, the selectivity of trans-stilbene oxide (TSO) is not affected by either modifier. Analytical studies of the stationary phase suggest that slow protonation/deprotonation of water molecules attached to the carbamate moiety may be responsible for the acid/base Memory Effect. To further the understanding of the effect of water on the Memory Effect, mobile phases – spiked with water (0.01–0.43%) – were used to measure changes in the Memory Effect. Finally, we showed that the influence of water on the Memory Effect can be minimized by percolating through the column a sufficiently concentrated solution of the appropriate base while using dried mobile phases.

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.     

Immobilized versus coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases for the enantioselective separation of cyclopropane derivatives by liquid chromatography

The solvent versatility of Chiralpak IA, a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarabamate) immobilized onto silica gel, is investigated for the enantioselective separation of a set of cyclopropane derivatives using ethyl acetate or dichloromethane (DCM) as non-standard mobile phase eluent and diluent, respectively in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A comparison of the separation of cyclopropanes on both immobilized and coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases (Chiralpak IA and Chiralpak AD, respectively) in HPLC using a mixture of n-hexane/2-propanol (90/10 and 99/1, v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min and UV detection at 254 nm, is demonstrated. The optimized method of separation is used for an online HPLC monitoring for the Rh(II)-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular cyclopropanations in dichloromethane. Direct analysis techniques without further purification, workup or removal of dichloromethane were summarized. The method provides an easy and direct determination of the enantiomeric excess of the cyclopropanes and selectivity of the catalyst used without any further work up.     

Direct optical resolution of the enantiomers of axially chiral compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography on cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) stationary phase

Summary The enantiomeric separation of nineteen biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate derivatives has been examined by HPLC on a chiral statonary phase prepared by coating aminopropylated silica gel with cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate). It was found that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) has a dominant effect on chiral separation for acidic compounds. The percentage of 2-propanol in the mobile phase does not have a large effect on the anantioselectivity but the separation was dramatically influenced by the kind of alcohol in the mobile phase. The effect of temperature on the chiral separation is also discussed. Most of the enantiomers investigated could be resolved satisfactorily.

Selectivity of amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) chiral stationary phase as a function of its structure altered by changing concentration of ethanol or 2-propanol mobile-phase modifier

In a previous publication, solid-state NMR data showed that the structure of Chiralpak AD chiral stationary phase (CSP) was altered by changing the concentration of ethanol or 2-propanol modifier in the chromatographic mobile phase. This present paper reports the effect of the CSP structural change on chiral selectivity alpha. The enantiomers of a series of compounds were chromatographed using ethanol or 2-propanol in various concentrations as mobile-phase modifier and the alpha values were determined. Changes of alpha were observed for some enantiomeric pairs when ethanol and 2-propanol concentrations were varied. These data correlate with previous findings on the structural changes of the CSP. Not every enantiomeric pair showed changes in alpha as the alcohol concentration was varied, indicating that the chiral selectivity depends not only on the CSP's structure, but also on the structures of the analytes.

Computational study of enantioseparation by amylose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate)‐based chiral stationary phase

The mechanism of chiral separation on amylose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) is studied with docking simulations of enantiomers by molecular dynamics. All‐atom models of amylose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) on the modified silica gel surface were constructed for the docking simulations of metalaxyl and benalaxyl. The elution orders and energetic differences were also predicted based on the intermolecular interactions, which were in agreement with the experimental results. The radial distribution function was employed to analyze the structural features of the enantiomer‐chiral stationary phase complex and used to elucidate the mechanism of chiral separation. The separation of metalaxyl and benalaxyl is mainly controlled by the hydrogen bond. And the binding sites had slight differences for the pair of enantiomers, but obvious differences between different chemicals.     

Enantiomeric separation of some pharmaceutical intermediates and reversal of elution orders by high-performance liquid chromatography using cellulose and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivatives as stationary phases

Several pairs of enantiomers of pharmaceutical intermediates were separated by HPLC directly on cellulose and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivatives (Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD) using hexane as mobile phase with 2-propanol or ethanol as modifier. The separation and elution order of the enantiomers on the two columns using different alcohol modifiers were compared. Reversal of the elution order of some enantiomeric pairs associated with increased retention of many of these solutes upon changing the mobile phase modifier from 2-propanol to ethanol was observed. The effect of structural variation of two pairs of enantiomers on their k' and separation factor alpha was noted. Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD columns provided different retention, separation and elution order of some of the enantiomeric pairs.     

淀粉及纤维素三(3-三氟甲基苯基氨基甲酸酯)手性固定相的制备及其性能评价

Steam chromatography of aliphatic and aromatic amines on packed columns with aqueous potassium hydroxide as the stationary liquid phase

Aqueous alkali was proposed as the stationary liquid phase (SLP) for separation of amines by steam chromatography. Characteristic features of retention of amines of various structures were studied. The retention of primary and secondary amines on aqueous potassium hydroxide as the SLP differs fundamentally from that observed with common organic SLP. Primary amines are eluted in the following order,n-pentylamine <n-butyl-amine <n-propylamine <n-hexylamine <n-octylamine for secondary amines, the following sequence was established; diethylamine < dibutylamine < dimethylamine. Higher-boiling tertiary amines containing ethyl andn-butyl radicals are eluted ahead of diamines containing the same radicals. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nau.

Insights into chiral recognition mechanisms in supercritical fluid chromatography. II. Factors contributing to enantiomer separation on tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) of amylose and cellulose stationary phases

In this second part of our work on enantioselective supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), we investigate the factors participating in the chiral recognition process on tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) of amylose and cellulose chiral stationary phases (CSPs). 135 racemates with diverse structures were analysed under identical SFC conditions on both stationary phases. The possibility of identifying the differential interactions of an enantiomer pair within the chromatographic system is assessed using a modified version of the solvation parameter model and factorial discriminant analysis. It is illustrated that one relationship of intermolecular interactions is insufficient to express the enantioseparation of different groups of racemates. An innovative approach is used in unravelling the interactions taking part in the enantiorecognition process. Different intermolecular interactions participating in the enantiomeric separation are demonstrated between the two stationary phases.     

Direct optical resolution of the enantiomers of novel chiral tetrahedral metal clusters by HPLC on a cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) stationary phase

The enantioseparation of seven novel chiral transition metal tetrahedral clusters has been achieved for the first time on cellulose derivatized with tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) as chiral stationary phase (CSP) and hexane containing different alcohols as modifiers as mobile phases. The effect of mobile-phase composition on enantioselectivity was studied, and the effect of structural variation of the solutes on their enantioseparation was also investigated. It was found that both the metal in the tetrahedral core and the ligand coordinated to the atom in the tetrahedral core had significant effects on the chromatographic behavior of the analytes.
