Preparation of a new doubly tethered chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid and its application

A new doubly tethered chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid was prepared by attaching the second tethering group to silica gel through a carbon atom of the first tethering group of the corresponding singly tethered CSP, which was previously developed in our laboratory. The new doubly tethered CSP was applied successfully to the resolution of various racemic alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols containing a primary amino group. In most cases, the chiral recognition efficiency of the new doubly tethered CSP was superior to that of the corresponding singly tethered one in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols. In the resolution of some racemic primary amino compounds, the new doubly tethered and the corresponding singly tethered CSPs were complementary with each other. The chiral resolution behaviors on the new doubly tethered CSP were examined with the variation of the type and content of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature. The chiral resolution behaviors on the new doubly tethered CSP were generally quite similar to those on the corresponding singly tethered CSP. The stability of the new doubly tethered CSP was greater than that of the corresponding singly tethered CSP.     

Enantioselective separation of racemic secondary amines on a chiral crown ether-based liquid chromatography stationary phase

The first general enantioselective separation of racemic secondary amines on a crown ether-based liquid chromatography chiral stationary phase (CSP) is presented. The CSP is based on (+)- or (-)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid covalently bonded to silica gel. A mobile phase containing methanol, acetonitrile, triethylamine and acetic acid was employed in these separations of secondary amines with crown ether CSPs. The separation mechanism is believed to be the secondary amine forming a complex which includes crown ether coordination and electrostatic interaction of the positively charged amine with a carboxylate anion of the immobilized crown ether.     

Preparation and application of a new modified liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

As an effort to improve the chiral recognition efficiency of a previously reported chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on (+)-(18-Crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid, a new CSP was prepared by simply replacing the amide N-H hydrogens of the tethering groups of the old CSP with methyl groups. The new CSP was superior to the old one in the resolution of racemic primary amines. However, in the resolution of alpha-amino acids and amino alcohols, the new and the old CSPs were complementary with each other. The elution orders on the new CSP were sometimes opposite to those on the old one. Consequently, the chiral recognition mechanism on the new CSP was presumed to be different from that on the old one. The chiral recognition behavior of the new CSP were investigated with four selected analytes and found to be dependent to some extent on the content of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature.     

Preparation and evaluation of a chiral stationary phase covalently bound with a chiral pseudo-18-crown-6 ether having a phenolic hydroxy group for enantiomer separation of amino compounds

In order to develop a chiral stationary phase (CSP), which has even higher separation ability than the corresponding commercially available crown ether based CSP (OA-8000 having a pseudo-18-crown-6 ether with an OMe group as a selector), chemically bonded type CSP having a phenolic OH group on a crown ring was developed. Normal mobile phases with or without acid additive can be used with this OH type CSP in contrast to the conventional OMe type CSP which has a neutral chiral selector. Enantiomers of 25 out of 27 amino compounds, including 20 amino acids, 5 amino alcohols, and 2 lipophilic amines, were efficiently separated on a column with this CSP. Nine amino compounds out of 27 were separated with better separation factors than the corresponding OMe type CSP. It is noteworthy that the chromatography on this CSP exhibited excellent enantiomer-separations for amines and amino alcohols when triethyl amine was used as an additive in the mobile phase. Comparison of enantiomer separation ability on this OH type of CSP and on the OMe type of CSP and correlation between the enantioselectivity in chiral chromatography and that of the corresponding model compounds in solution imply that the chiral separation arose from chiral recognition in host guest interactions.     

Preparation and application of a chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(1 8-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid without extra free aminopropyl groups on silica surface

A crown ether-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) without extra aminopropyl groups on the surface of silica gel was newly prepared by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to silica gel. The new CSP was applied to the resolution of various racemic alpha-amino acids, amines, and amino alcohols. The chiral recognition efficiency of the new CSP was generally superior to that of the original CSP containing unreacted residual aminopropyl groups on the surface of silica gel in terms of the separation (alpha) and the resolution factors (Rs). The retention behaviors of analytes on the new CSP with the variation of the content of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase were consistent with those on the original CSP in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, but somewhat different in the resolution of racemic amines and amino alcohols from those on the original CSP and the difference was rationalized by the lipophilicity difference of the two CSPs. The effect of the column temperature on the chromatographic resolution behaviors on the new CSP was consistent with that on the original CSP.     

Preparation of a new crown ether-based chiral stationary phase containing thioester linkage for the liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing thioester linkages was prepared by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to mercaptopropylsilica gel. The chiral recognition ability of the new CSP was found to be greater than that of the previously reported CSP containing amide linkages in the resolution of the various α-amino acids that were tested, except for that of Met, Ser and Thr. In the resolution of racemic amines and amino alcohols, the new CSP was always better than the one containing amide linkages in terms of the separation factors (α) and the resolutions (R_S). Given the identical elution orders on the two CSPs, it was concluded that the chiral recognition mechanism is not affected by the change of the linkage type. In addition, the new CSP was found to be quite stable under the acidic mobile phase conditions that were utilized, indicating that the thioester linkage is useful as a tethering group.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of racemic amines,amino alcohols and related compounds on a chiral crown ether stationary phase

A chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on diphenyl-substituted 1,1'-binaphthyl crown ether was applied in resolving various racemic amines, amino alcohols and alpha-aminocarbonyl compounds including pharmaceutically important compounds such as amphetamine analogues, mexiletine, norepinephrine and norephedrine. The resolution was quite successful. In order to find out the effects of mobile phase additives on the chromatographic resolution behaviors, four selected racemic compounds were resolved on the CSP with the variation of the type and content of organic, acidic and cationic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase and with the variation of column temperature. The resolution behaviors were quite dependent on the type and the content of organic, acidic and cationic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase and on column temperature.     

Separation of the enantiomers of substituted dihydrofurocoumarins by HPLC using macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral stationary phases

Enantiomer separations by HPLC using the macrocyclic glycopeptides teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T), teicoplanin aglycon (Chirobiotic TAG), and ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R) chiral stationary phases (CSP) have been achieved on a unique series of potentially biologically active racemic analogues of dihydrofurocoumarin. The macrocyclic glycopeptides have proven to be very selective for this class of compound. All of the 28 chiral analogues examined afforded baseline separation on at least one of the macrocyclic glycopeptide CSP. The teicoplanin CSP showed the broadest enantioselectivity with 24 of the compounds baseline separated. The TAG and the R CSP produced 23 and 14 baseline separations respectively. All three mobile phase modes, i.e. normal phase (NP), reversed phase (RP), and new polar organic modes (PO), have been evaluated. The NP mode proved to be most effective for the separation of chiral dihydrofurocoumarins on all CSP tested. In the reversed phase (RP) mode, all three CSP separated a similar number of compounds. It was observed that the structural characteristics of the analytes and steric effects are very important factors leading to chiral recognition. Hydrogen bonding was found to play a secondary role in chiral discrimination in the normal phase and polar organic modes. Hydrophobic interactions are important for chiral separation in the reversed-phase mode. Chromatographic retention data does not provide information on the absolute configuration of these chiral dihydrofurocoumarin derivatives. However, when coupled with circular dichroism using the exciton coupling chirality method, the enantiomer elution order and the absolute configuration of some chiral dihydrofurocoumarins were successfully determined.     

Effect of the residual silanol group protection on the liquid chromatographic resolution of racemic primary amino compounds on a chiral stationary phase based on optically active (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6

A liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6, which has been utilized in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols, was treated with excess of n-octyltriethoxysilane to prepare a new improved CSP. The residual silanol groups of the original CSP were protected by n-octyl groups in the new CSP. The chiral recognition ability of the new CSP was superior to that of the original CSP in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols. Retention factors (k1) for the resolution of alpha-amino acids were lower on the new CSP than on the original CSP while those for the resolution of amines and amino alcohols were higher on the new CSP than on the original CSP. The improved chiral recognition ability of the new CSP and the retention behaviors of the two enantiomers on the new CSP have been rationalized to stem from the removal of the non-enantioselective interactions between the analytes and the residual silanol groups of the original CSP and the improved lipophilicity of the CSP.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of gemifloxacin mesylate on a chiral stationary phase derived from crown ether

A new racemic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, gemifloxacin mesylate, has been successfully resolved on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid. Compared to the Crownpak CR(+) column, the CSP used in this study was more effective for the resolution of racemic gemifloxacin mesylate, especially in terms of analytical time. The resolution of gemifloxacin mesylate enantiomers on the CSP was found to be dependent on the type and content of organic and acidic modifiers in the aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature.     

A (4R)-hydroxy-L-proline-derived chiral scaffold and its oligomers as chiral selectors in liquid chromatography chiral stationary phases for enantioseparation

The chromatographic behaviour of a poly-L-proline-derived chiral stationary phase (CSP) is compared to the corresponding single proline-derived CSP. Structurally diverse racemic test compounds and mobile phases, including normal- and RP conditions, were used. Although the application domain of the poly-L-proline-derived CSP (CSP-3) was considerably restricted, this CSP showed a higher retention and a slightly broader application domain than the monomeric analogue (CSP-1) when heptane/2-PrOH was used as mobile phase. The presence of an alcohol in the mobile phase was essential for enantioseparation in the poly-L-proline-derived CSP when normal-phase conditions were applied.     

HPLC of fluoroquinolone antibacterials using chiral stationary phase based on enantiomeric (3,3′‐diphenyl‐1,1′‐binaphthyl)‐20‐crown‐6

A residual silanol group‐protecting chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on optically active (3,3′‐diphenyl‐1,1′‐binaphthyl)‐20‐crown‐6 was successfully applied to the resolution of fluoroquinolone compounds including gemifloxacin mesylate. The chiral recognition ability of the residual silanol group‐protecting CSP was generally greater than that of the residual silanol group‐containing CSP. From these results, it was concluded that the simple protection of the residual silanol groups of the latter CSP with lipophilic n‐octyl groups can improve its chiral recognition ability for the resolution of racemic fluoroquinolone compounds. The chromatographic resolution behaviors were investigated as a function of the content and type of organic and acidic modifiers and the ammonium acetate concentration in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature. Especially, the addition of ammonium acetate to the mobile phase was found to be a quite effective means of reducing the enantiomer retentions without sacrificing the chiral recognition efficiency of the CSP.     

Enantiomeric separation of alcohols and amines on a proline chiral stationary phase by gas chromatography

A new chiral stationary phase for gas chromatography was prepared by covalently attaching a diproline chiral selector that has proven to be effective in liquid chromatography to a methylhydrosiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer. With this new chiral stationary phase for GC, racemic aromatic alcohols could be resolved without derivatization. Racemic aromatic and aliphatic amines could also be resolved after derivatization of the amino groups with trifluoroacetic anhydride or isopropyl isocyanate. On this stationary phase, the isopropyl isocyanate derivatives of amines showed higher enantioselectivity than the trifluoroacetic anhydride derivatives. In both the enantiomeric separations of alcohols and derivatized amines, the aromatic racemic analytes showed higher enantioselectivities than their aliphatic analogs. Some of the alpha-amino and alpha-hydroxy aromatic acids could also be separated after derivatization to N-trifluoroacetyl methyl esters for amino acids or O-trifluoroacetyl methyl esters for hydroxyl acids.     

Effect of amine mobile phase additives on chiral subcritical fluid chromatography using polysaccharide stationary phases

Increased retention and selectivity in the subcritical fluid chromatography (SFC) of various amine compounds on polysaccharide chiral stationary phases (CSP) was observed upon incorporation of cyclic amines into the modifier. The retention increases are most pronounced with 2-propanol and are almost absent when methanol is used as modifier. This suggests that the effect may arise from a restriction to the modifier access to the binding site required to effect elution. The effect of the amine additives in SFC does not remain after their removal from the mobile phase. Findings were applied to the development of a 5 min separation of amphetamine and methamphetamine enantiomers.     

Enantioseparation of protonated primary arylalkylamines and amino acids containing an aromatic moiety on a pyridino-crown ether based new chiral stationary phase

This paper reports the preparation and testing of a new pyridino-18-crown-6 ether based chiral stationary phase (CSP). The chiral crown ether was covalently bound to silica gel. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy was used for probing the complex formation of the chiral crown ether with the enantiomers of protonated primary arylalkylamines. The (S,S)-dimethylpyridino-18-crown-6 ether selector having a terminal double bond was first transformed to a triethoxysilyl derivative by regioselective hydrosilylation, and then heated with spherical HPLC quality silica gel to obtain the CSP. The discriminating power of the HPLC column filled with the above CSP was tested by using the hydrogenperchlorate salts of racemic α-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (1-NEA), α-(2-naphthyl)ethylamine (2-NEA) and the hydrochloride salts of aromatic α-amino acids and α-amino acids containing different aromatic side-chain protecting groups.

Synthesis and application of mono-2A-azido-2A-deoxyperphenylcarbamoylated beta-cyclodextrin and mono-2A-azido-2A-deoxyperacetylated beta-cyclodextrin as chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography

Two novel chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were prepared based upon the regioselective immobilizations of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) at its C2 position to the silica support. The mono-2A-azido-2A-deoxyperphenylcarbamoylated beta-cyclodextrin and mono-2A-azido-2A-deoxyperacetylated beta-cyclodextrin were synthesized by selective tosylation and azidolysis followed by perfunctionalisation. The derivatised cyclodextrins were then immobilized onto the aminised silica gel via the Staudinger reaction to provide new chiral stationary phases. Their application to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enantioseparation of racemic compounds was demonstrated using beta-adrenergic blockers, flavonone compounds, benzodiazepinones, antihistamines and weakly protolytic compounds, of which good separations were achieved for some racemic compounds, for instance, bendroflumethiazide (Rs 6.26), oxazepam (Rs 5.99), temazepam (Rs 2.85) and althiazide (Rs 1.13) when compared with the corresponding CSPs where the beta-CD molecule was regioselectively immobilized at the C6 position. The enantiodiscriminatory properties of these CSPs were found to be affected by the orientation of the CD cavity under reversed-phase conditions, and also by the derivitising groups of the CD. The HPLC results inferred that the mono-6A-azido-6A-deoxyperphenylcarbamoylated CD CSP (CD bonded at C6 position to silica) exhibited slightly better chiral recognition ability than mono-2A-azido-2A-deoxyperphenylcarbamoylated CD CSP under the normal-phase and reversed-phase modes on the separation of 31 different racemic compounds and drugs. On the contrary, higher chiral recognition abilities were observed on the mono-2(A)-azido-2A-deoxyperacetylated CD CSP compared to mono-6A-azido-6A-deoxyperacetylated CD CSP.
