Temperature-induced inversion of elution order in the chromatographic enantioseparation of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase

In this work, the enantioseparations of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) and its three derivatives were performed on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase, Chiralpak IA, under normal-phase mode. The effects of the content of polar modifier in the mobile phase and the column temperature on the retention and enantioseparation were investigated in detail. Temperature-induced inversion of elution order for BINOL was observed directly when n-hexane/2-propanol (92/8, v/v) was used as mobile phase. The isoenantioselective temperature (T_iso) was calculated to be 31.4 °C. When n-hexane/2-propanol/THF (93/2/5, v/v/v) was used as mobile phase, the T_iso value decreased to −8.2 °C. Entropically driven enantioseparation which had practical application was obtained successfully (separation factor being 1.189 and 1.332 at 25 °C and 50 °C, respectively). The corresponding thermodynamic parameters for other three binaphthyl compounds were compared with that for BINOL. Some inferences about chiral recognition mechanism were stressed.     

A charge-transfer host system composed of a chiral 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol cluster and benzylviologen

Chiral charge-transfer (CT) complexes composed of a chiral 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol cluster as the electron donor and 1,1′-dibenzyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride as the electron acceptor serve as a host system for molecular recognition. CT complexes that include guest alcohols show different diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) depending on the included guest.     

An isoselective and visual inclusion host system using charge-transfer complexes of 3,3′-disubstituted-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol and methylviologen

A charge-transfer (CT) complex, composed of rac-3,3′-dibromo-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol as the electron donor and 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride as the electron acceptor, is formed only by the inclusion of specific guest molecules. The color of this inclusion CT complex is sensitive to the component guest molecules.     

Enantioselective phenyl transfer to aldehydes using 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol-3,3′-dicarboxamide as chiral auxiliary

N,N,N′,N′-Tetra-n-butyl-BINOL-3,3′-dicarboxamide 5d was found to promote phenyl transfer from ethylphenylzinc to both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with high enantioselectivity up to 96% ee in tert-butyl methyl ether.     

Efficient resolution of racemic 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol with chiral selectors identified from a small library

Efficient resolution of racemic 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol, a well-studied analyte in chiral separation, was achieved using selectors developed from a small library. Separation factors (up to 7.2) obtained are significantly higher than the ones reported previously for this analyte. The library consists of 121 members and it does not contain the pi deficient 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl (Dnb) group. These highly efficient stationary phases may lead to the practical large-scale chromatographic resolution of enantiomers of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol, which are widely used as chiral auxiliaries and ligands in asymmetric synthesis.     

Unusual chromatographic enantioseparation behavior of naproxen on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase

Enantioseparation of naproxen was performed on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP), Chiralpak IA, in the normal-phase mode. The effects of polar alcohol modifier in mobile phase and column temperature on retention, enantioseparation, and elution order were investigated. Two unusual phenomena were observed. One was solvent-induced reversal of elution order for the two enantiomers. Not only the type but also the content of polar alcohol modifier could induce the reversal. Another uncommon phenomenon was peak deformation under some chromatographic conditions.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of aminonaphthol analogs on polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases

High-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of the enantiomers of five new aminonaphthol analogs possessing two chiral centers. The direct separations were performed on chiral stationary phases containing either amylose-tris-3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate (Kromasil^® AmyCoat™ column) or cellulose-tris-3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate (Kromasil^® CelluCoat™ column) as chiral selector. The experimental data are utilized to discuss the effects of the mobile phase composition, the nature of the alcoholic modifier and the specific structural features of the analytes on the retention and separation. The elution sequence was determined in all cases; no general regularities could be established.     

Synthesis of macrocyclic 1,1′-biarenol derivatives by the tandem Claisen rearrangement and their binding properties

Crown ether-type macrocycles consisting of an enantiopure biarenol derivative and an oligoethylene glycol were synthesized by the Lewis acid-mediated tandem Claisen rearrangement. This is the first example of the successful application of the tandem Claisen rearrangement to the synthesis of enantiopure macrocyclic biarenol derivatives. The enantiopure macrocyclic biarenols were found to form 1:1 complexes with amino acid salts and to discriminate their chirality.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of 1-(phenylethylamino)- or 1-(naphthylethylamino)methyl-2-naphthol analogs and a temperature-induced inversion of the elution sequence on polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases

The stereoisomers of five 1-(phenylethylamino)methyl-2-naphthol analogs or 1-(naphthylethylamino)methyl-2-naphthol analogs containing two chiral centers were directly separated on chiral stationary phases containing the chiral selectors cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl) carbamate (Lux Cellulose-1), cellulose tris-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl) carbamate (Lux Cellulose-2) and amylose tris-(5-chloro-2-methylphenyl) carbamate (Lux Amylose-2). Experiments were performed in normal-phase mode in a wide temperature range -5 to 70°C. Thermodynamic parameters and T(iso) values were calculated from plots of lnk or lnα vs. 1/T. -Δ(ΔH°) ranged from 1.0 to 4.7 kJ mol(-1), -Δ(ΔS°) from 1.6 to 11.0 J mol(-1) K(-1) and -Δ(ΔG°) from 0.1 to 1.5 kJ mol(-1). The sequence of elution of the stereoisomers was determined in all cases and in one case a temperature-induced inversion of the elution sequence was observed.

The preparative chromatographic enantioseparation of a racemic morphanthridine analog on a chiral stationary phase

Summary The preparative chromatographic enantioseparation of a chiral morphoanthridine analog has been performed on an analytical column using amylose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as chiral stationary phase. The racemate (100 mg) was resolved to baseline within 15 min. This paper describes the development of the method, estimation of the capacity of the chiral stationary phase and discussed the potential of the chromatography if performed under preparative conditions. From the results and calculations presented it seems likely that the resolution of 70 tons year⁻¹ could easily be achieved on 30 kg of stationary phase with a mobile-phase consumption of only 720 L day⁻¹.     

Charge-transfer host complex with channel-like cavity using disubstituted-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol and benzylviologen

A novel charge-transfer (CT) host system is developed using CT complexes composed of rac-3,3′-dihydroxy-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol and 1,1′-dibenzyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride. This CT host complex has a 1D channel-like cavity in which guest (MeOH and EtOH) molecules can be discharged and adsorbed. The color and DRS of the CT crystals change according to the presence of guest molecules in the host complex.     

Synthesis and properties of optically active aromatic polyimides derived from optically pure 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol

A series of new optically active aromatic polyimides containing axially dissymmetric 1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2-diyl units were prepared from optically pure (R)-(+)- or(S)-(−)-2,2′-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)-1,1′-binaphthalene dianhydrides and various aromatic diamines via a conventional two-step procedure that included ring-opening polycondensation and chemical cyclodehydration. The optically pure isomer of dianhydride was prepared by a nucleophilic substitution of optically pure (R)-(+)- or(S)-(−)-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol with 4-nitrophthalonitrile in aprotic polar solvent and subsequent hydrolysis of the resultant tetranitrile derivatives, followed by the dehydration of the corresponding tetracarboxylic acids to obtain the dianhydrides. These polymers were readily soluble in common organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and m-cresol, etc., and have glass transition temperatures of 251–296°C, and 5% weight loss occurs not lower than 480°C. The specific rotations of the optically active polyimides ranged from +196° to +263°, and the optical stability and chiroptical properties of them were also studied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Study on the thermal stability of a chiral stationary phase coated on capillaries for GC

A chiral stationary phase prepared by bonding L -valine-t-butylamide to XE-60 has been coated on glass and metal capillaries. The performances of the chiral glass and metal columns were equivalent to those of commercial fused silica capillary columns. The thermal stability of the glass column was examined up to 280°C. It was found that no appreciable change in separation factor (α value) was observed up to 230°C. The α values gradually decreased between 240 and 260°C, and enantiomer separation was no longer achieved at 280°C. It was concluded that the allowable upper limit temperature of the chiral stationary phase is between 230 and 240°C in the isothermal mode, and ca 260°C in temperature-programmed mode.     

Separation of 2-naphthol atropisomers on cyclofructan-based chiral stationary phases

A set of fifteen 2-naphthol-derived atropisomers were evaluated on three different cyclofructan-based chiral stationary phases (CSP). The cyclofructan CSPs were a dimethylphenyl-derivatized cyclofructan 7 (CF7-DMP), a isopropyl (CF6-P) and a R-naphthylethyl cyclofructan 6 (CF6-RN) derivative, all bonded to 5-µm spherical fully porous silica particles packed into three 25?cm?×?4.6?mm columns (commercially available as Larihc columns). The 15 atropisomers were analyzed in the normal-phase mode with heptane/alcohol mobile phases. The CF7-DMP column was the most effective partially or fully separating 14 of the 15 compounds (93%). All 15 compounds could be separated by at least one cyclofructan column. Five compounds could be partially or fully separated by all three CSPs. The effect of ethanol, 2-propanol and butanol as 5 and 10% v/v polar modifiers in heptane was studied. A prototype 15?cm?×?4.6?mm column packed with superficially porous 2.7?µm CF6-P bonded particles was tested with the same set of compounds and a standard HPLC system. The increased efficiency and solvent saving were significant.     

Retention mechanism of high-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation on macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phases

The development of methods for the separation of enantiomers has attracted great interest in the past 20 years, since it became evident that the potential biological or pharmacological applications are mostly restricted to one of the enantiomers. In the past decade, macrocyclic antibiotics have proved to be an exceptionally useful class of chiral selectors for the separation of enantiomers of biological and pharmacological importance by means of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin-layer chromatography and electrophoresis. The glycopeptides avoparcin, teicoplanin, ristocetin A and vancomycin have been extensively used as chiral selectors in the form of chiral bonded phases in HPLC, and HPLC stationary phases based on these glycopeptides have been commercialized. In fact, the macrocyclic glycopeptides are to some extent complementary to one another: where partial enantioresolution is obtained with one glycopeptide, there is a high probability that baseline or better separation can be obtained with another. This review sets out to characterize the physicochemical properties of these macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics and, through their application, endeavors to demonstrate the mechanism of separation on macrocyclic glycopeptides. The sequence of elution of the stereoisomers and the relation to the absolute configuration are also discussed.     

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.     

Direct liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of sotalol and other β-blockers using an α1-acid glycoprotein-based chiral stationary phase

The behaviour of an α₁-acid glycoprotein-based chiral stationary phase (Chiral AGP) towards changes in pH and organic modifier in the mobile phase was investigated in order to deduce suitable conditions for the liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of a series of β-adrenoreceptor blocking drugs. The effects of the pH of the mobile phase on retention, selectivity and resolution were studied. Methanol was the only non-ionic modifier tested in the mobile phase while different aliphatic carboxylic acids (C₄ to C₈) and alkanesulfonic acids (C₆ to C₈) were used as ionic modifiers. The influence of the nature and concentration of these modifiers on retention and enantioselectivity was investigated. Under these conditions, enantiomeric separations could be obtained for more than 70% of the β-blocking agents examined. The use of heptanoic acid as an ionic additive in the mobile phase has permitted the resolution of sotalol enantiomers. An enantioselective assay for sotalol was then developed and validated.
