Enantioselective crystallization of histidine on chiral self-assembled films of cysteine

In this paper, the preparation and use of chiral surfaces derived from enantiomerically pure crystals of amino acids are described. For this purpose, a self-assembly process to grow thin chiral films of (+)-L- or (-)-D-cysteine on gold surfaces was chosen. These chiral films were utilized as crystallization catalysts in the crystallization of enantiomers from solutions. To demonstrate the chiral discrimination power of the chiral surfaces in crystallization processes, the crystallization of racemic histidine onto the chiral films was investigated. Our study demonstrates the potential application of chiral films to control chirality throughout crystallization, where one enantiomer crystallizes onto the chiral surfaces with relative high enantiomeric excess. In addition, crystallization of pure histidine enantiomers onto chiral films results in strong crystal morphology modification with preferred orientation.     

Sequential Chiral Induction and Regulator-Assisted Chiral Memory of Pillar[5]arenes

Chirality transfer is widely observed in life processes, and many artificial chiral transfer systems have been developed. In these systems, chiral information is transferred from chiral inducers to chiral acceptors by a direct chiral induction process and a direct chiral memorization process. We have developed ternary nondirect chiral transfer systems based on pillar[5]arenes, in which a third factor was introduced as a regulator. The planar chirality of an acceptor was induced and memorized by a chiral inducer with precise control by a regulator. In the chiral induction period, the feed sequence of the chiral inducer and regulator affected the chiral induction behavior of the chiral acceptor. The chiral memory ability of the acceptor was substantially improved by the combined action of the chiral inducer and regulator.

Use of chiral ionic liquids as solvents for the enantioselective photoisomerization of dibenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octatrienes

[Reaction: see text] Six chiral ionic liquids were prepared and evaluated as "chiral induction solvents" in which two different dibenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octatrienes were photoisomerized to chiral products. Enantiomeric excesses from 3 to 12% were obtained from the photochemical di-pi-methane rearrangement. Results indicate that the chiral induction derives from an ion pairing interaction of the deprotonated diacids with the ionic liquid cation. This is the first report on chiral induction via a chiral IL for an irreversible, unimolecular photochemical isomerization.     

Photochemical tuning of the helical structure of cholesteric liquid crystals by photoisomerization of chiral azobenzenes, and their structural effects

Several chiral azobenzene compounds having different chiral substituents were synthesized. A cholesteric phase was induced by mixing each chiral azobenzene compound with a host non-chiral nematic liquid crystal (E44). The helical twisting power (HTP) as well as the change in HTP by trans-cis photoisomerization of the chiral azobenzene compound was dependent on the structure of the chiral substituents. A compensated nematic phase was induced by combination of E44, a chiral azobenzene compound and a non-photochromic chiral compound. Reversible switching between the compensated nematic phase and cholesteric phase was brought about by trans-cis photoisomerization of the chiral azobenzene compound in the liquid crystalline systems. An azobenzene compound substituted with a menthyl group showed the highest efficiency as the trigger for the switching; this efficiency was related to the compactness of the chiral group substituted within the azobenzene core moiety.     

Enantioseparation using alkoxyphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose as chiral stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography

Cellulose and amylose phenylcarbamates having one or two alkoxy groups on a phenyl ring were synthesized, and their chiral recognition abilities as chiral stationary phases for HPLC were evaluated. Compared to the 4-methoxyphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose, which are known to show a poor chiral recognition, the 3-methoxyphenylcarbamates exhibited much higher chiral recognitions. For cellulose derivatives, as the bulkiness of the 3-alkoxy group increased, the chiral recognition ability increased. On the other hand, for the amylose derivatives, a clear relation between the chiral recognition and the bulkiness of the alkoxy group was not observed, and the 3-methoxy, ethoxy, and isopropoxyphenylcarbamates showed relatively high chiral recognitions. The introduction of two methoxy groups to the meta-positions decreased the chiral recognition ability. In order to discuss the relationship between the structure and chiral recognition ability of the alkoxyphenylcarbamates, their molecular models were constructed.

Chiral ionic liquids for enantioseparation of pharmaceutical products by capillary electrophoresis

A chiral ionic liquid (IL), S-[3-(chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium] [bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide] (S-[CHTA](+)[Tf(2)N](-)), which can be easily and readily synthesized in a one-step process from commercially available reagents, can be successfully used both as co-electrolyte and as a chiral selector for CE. A variety of pharmaceutical products including atenolol, propranolol, warfarin, indoprofen, ketoprofen, ibuprofen and flurbiprofen, can be successfully and baseline separated with the use of this IL as electrolyte. Interestingly, while S-[CHTA](+)[Tf(2)N](-) can also serve as a chiral selector, enantioseparation cannot be successfully achieved with S-[CHTA](+)[Tf(2)N](-) as the only chiral selector. In the case of ibuprofen, a second chiral selector, namely a chiral anion (sodium cholate), is needed for the chiral separation. For furbiprofen, in addition to S-[CHTA](+)[Tf(2)N](-) and sodium cholate, a third and neutral chiral selector, 1-S-octyl-beta-d-thioglucopyranoside (OTG), is also needed. Due to the fact that the chirality of this chiral IL resides on the cation (i.e., -[CHTA](+)), and that needed additional chiral selector(s) are either chiral anion (i.e., cholate) or chiral neutral compound (OTG), the results obtained seem to suggest that additional chiral selector(s) are needed to provide the three-point interactions needed for chiral separations.     

Synthesis of new chiral fluorescent sensors and their applications in enantioselective discrimination

New chiral fluorescent sensors derived from tetraphenylethylene and proline hydrazide were synthesized and applied in the chiral recognition of various chiral compounds, including unprotected amino acids, acidic compounds, chiral amines and even neutral alcohols. These results demonstrated that the excellent enantioselective response ability to various chiral substrates could be attributed to the –NH moieties of pyrrolidine ring and thiourea unit which acted as hydrogen-bonding donors. This result is of potential significance in enantiomeric discrimination and high-throughput analysis of the enantiomeric purity of chiral guests.     

Turning on Asymmetric Catalysis of Achiral Metal-Organic Frameworks by Imparting Chiral Microenvironment

The development of heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts has attracted increasing interest in synthetic chemistry but mostly relies on the immobilization of homogeneous chiral catalysts. Herein, a series of chiral metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been fabricated by anchoring similar chiral hydroxylated molecules (catalytically inactive) with different lengths onto Zr-oxo clusters in achiral PCN-222(Cu). The resulting chiral MOFs exhibit regulated enantioselectivity up to 83 % ee in the asymmetric ring-opening of cyclohexene oxide. The chiral molecules furnished onto the catalytic Lewis sites in the MOF create multilevel microenvironment, including the hydrogen interaction between the substrate and the chiral −OH group, the steric hindrance endowed by the benzene ring on the chiral molecules, and the proximity between the catalytic sites and chiral molecules confined in the MOF pores, which play crucial roles and synergistically promote chiral catalysis. This work nicely achieves heterogeneous enantioselective catalysis by chiral microenvironment modulation around Lewis acid sites.     

Improvement of chiral stationary phases based on cinchona alkaloids bonded to crown ethers by chiral modification

To improve the chiral recognition capability of a cinchona alkaloid crown ether chiral stationary phase, the crown ether moiety was modified by the chiral group of (1S, 2S)‐2‐aminocyclohexyl phenylcarbamate. Both quinine and quinidine‐based stationary phases were evaluated by chiral acids, chiral primary amines and amino acids. The quinine/quinidine and crown ether provided ion‐exchange sites and complex interaction site for carboxyl group and primary amine group in amino acids, respectively, which were necessary for the chiral discrimination of amino acid enantiomers. The introduction of the chiral group greatly improved the chiral recognition for chiral primary amines. The structure of crown ether moiety was proved to play a dominant role in the chiral recognitions for chiral primary amines and amino acids.

Extension of chromatographically derived chiral recognition systems to chiral recognition and enantiomer analysis by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Chiral recognition by positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry is demonstrated through the adaptation of chromatographically derived chiral recognition systems. Solutions of soluble analogues of chiral selectors used in Pirkle-type chiral stationary phases, when mixed with a chiral analyte, whose enantiomers are known to be resolved on the analogous chiral stationary phase, are shown to afford selector–analyte complexes in the mass spectrum. Pseudo-enantiomeric chiral selectors, where each pseudo-enantiomer has a different mass and a higher affinity for the opposite analyte enantiomer of its pseudo-antipode, were prepared. When mixed with a chiral analyte, solutions of these pseudo-enantiomeric selectors afford selector–analyte complexes in the ESI-mass spectrum where the relative intensities of the selector–analyte complexes are dependent on the enantiomeric composition of the analyte. Additionally, the sense of the observed chiral recognition is in agreement with the sense of chiral recognition observed chromatographically.     

Improved and efficient synthesis of chiral N,P-ligands via cyclic sulfamidates for asymmetric addition of butyllithium to benzaldehyde

A robust and scaleable route to chiral 1-isopropylamino-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethanes is described via the ring-opening of chiral, cyclic sulfamidates with potassium diphenylphosphide (KPPh(2)). The novel protocol offers a robust access to gram quantities of chiral amino phosphinoethanes in high yields. The Li-amides of the chiral aminophosphines were evaluated as chiral ligands in the asymmetric addition of n-butyllithium (BuLi) to benzaldehyde, yielding 1-phenylpentanol up to 98% ee.     

Influence of microemulsion chirality on chromatographic figures of merit in EKC: results with novel three-chiral-component microemulsions and comparison with one- and two-chiral-component microemulsions

Novel microemulsion formulations containing all chiral components are described for the enantioseparation of six pairs of pharmaceutical enantiomers (atenolol, ephedrine, metoprolol, N-methyl ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and synephrine). The chiral surfactant dodecoxycarbonylvaline (DDCV, R- and S-), the chiral cosurfactant S-2-hexanol, and the chiral oil diethyl tartrate (R- and S-) were combined to create four different chiral microemulsions, three of which were stable. Results obtained for enantioselectivity, efficiency, and resolution were compared for the triple-chirality systems and the single-chirality system that contained chiral surfactant only. Improvements in enantioselectivity and resolution were achieved by simultaneously incorporating three chiral components into the aggregate. The one-chiral-component microemulsion provided better efficiencies. Enantioselective synergies were identified for the three-chiral-component nanodroplets using a thermodynamic model. Additionally, two types of dual-chirality systems, chiral surfactant/chiral cosurfactant and chiral surfactant/chiral oil, were examined in terms of chromatographic figures of merit, with the former providing much better resolution. The two varieties of two-chiral-component microemulsions gave similar values for enantioselectivity and efficiency. Lastly, the microemulsion formulations were divided into categories based on the number of chiral microemulsion reagents and the average results for each pair of enantiomers were analyzed for trends. In general, enantioselectivity and resolution were enhanced while efficiency was decreased as more chiral components were used to create the pseudostationary phase (PSP).

Enantiomer separation of drugs by micellar electrokinetic chromatography using chiral surfactants

A review surveying enantiomer separations by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) using chiral surfactants is described. MEKC is one of the most popular techniques in capillary electrophoresis, where neutral compounds can be analyzed as well as charged ones, and the use of chiral micelles enable one to achieve the enantioseparation. The chiral MEKC systems are briefly reviewed according to the types of chiral surfactants along with typical applications. As chiral micelles or pseudostationary phases in MEKC, various natural and synthetic chiral surfactants are used, including several low-molecular-mass surfactants and polymerized surfactants or high-molecular-mass surfactants. Cyclodextrin modified MEKC using chiral micelles is also considered.
