New derivatives of cyclodextrins as chiral selectors for the capillary electrophoretic separation of dichlorprop enantiomers

-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs), as well as some of their chemical derivatives, have been tested as chiral resolving agents for the capillary zone electrophoretic resolution of the racemic herbicide dichlorprop, (±)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid, of which only the (+)-isomer is herbicidally active. The complexation constants of the herbicide enantiomers with the cyclodextrin host molecules have been calculated from the electrophoretic migration time data at variable cyclodextrin concentration. The experimental results showed that several of the investigated CDs allowed dichlorprop enantiomer resolution. In particular, a newly synthesised ethylcarbonate derivative of β-CD showed the best enantiomer resolution properties among the tested compounds, while the remaining ones showed inferior or no performances at all. The calculated inclusion constants allowed identification of the best conditions for enantioresolution, and an explanation of the different complexation properties of the investigated compounds has been proposed on the basis of molecular modeling.     

Sample stacking in laboratory-on-a-chip devices

In this study, enantioseparations of five phenothiazines, including promethazine, ethopropazine, trimeprazine, methotrimeprazine, and thioridazine, in cyclodextrin (CD)-modified capillary zone electrophoresis were investigated using a phosphate buffer (40 mM) at pH 3.0. We focussed on the separation of phenothiazines with the use of CDs at low concentrations. Three different CDs, including β-CD, hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD) and γ-CD, were chosen as chiral selectors. The results indicate that effective enantioseparation of phenothiazines, except for methotrimeprazine, is simultaneously achievable with addition of γ-CD at a concentration of 2.5–6.0 mM. The enantiomers of ethopropazine and trimeprazine are effectively separated with addition of HP-β-CD at low concentrations, in the range 0.4–6.0 mM, whereas those of promethazine and trimeprazine are baseline resolved with β-CD at much lower concentrations (0.02–3.0 mM) than with HP-β-CD. The results also confirm that the separation window is greatly enlarged at low CD concentrations. Moreover, the drastic variations of the electrophoretic mobility of phenothiazines as a function of CD concentration reveal that phenothiazines interact very strongly with CDs in the order γ-CD相似文献   

Synthesis and rapid enantiomeric separation of the chiral mixed ligand [5-(4-hydroxybutyl)-5′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine]-bis(1,10-phenanthroline)-ruthenium(II) complex by electrokinetic chromatography

The chiral complex [5-(4-hydroxybutyl)-5′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine]-bis(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II)-bis(hexafluoroantimonate) was successfully synthesized and fully characterized by two-dimensional ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR techniques (COSY and HMQC) as well as EA- and FAB-MS. A very fast separation of the Δ and Λ enantiomers with excellent efficiency and resolution was achieved by electrokinetic chromatography using anionic carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin as a chiral mobile phase additive. The optimum separation conditions were obtained with 50 mM borate buffer at pH 9 and 10 mg/ml of the chiral selector at 20°C. Attempts to separate the well known unmodified tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)₃] complex into its enantiomers under the same conditions were unsuccessful.     

Enantioseparation of basic pharmaceutical compounds by capillary electrophoresis using sulfated cyclodextrins. Application to E-6006, a novel antidepressant

In this study, a chiral capillary electrophoresis method was optimized and validated for E-6006, a thienylpyrazolylethanamine derivative (pK_a 8.9). Enantioselectivity of neutral and anionic cyclodextrins (CDs) was evaluated at acid pH (3), obtaining cathodic and anodic migration, respectively. Hydroxypropyl-β-CD, carboxymethyl-β-CD and sulfobutyl ether-β-CD led to similar and partial selectivity, whereas sulfate (S)-β-CD produced baseline separation of the enantiomers. Four types of sulfated CDs were compared considering: cavity size (, β, γ) and random substitution versus unique derivative (S-β-CD, 6-heptakis-S-β-CD). Complete peak separation was obtained in all cases, but with different affinity and binding strength. Some factors that play a role in the complex formation include: position/region/degree of substitution, size of CD cavity and proportion of derivatives in mixtures. Enantioaffinity and enantioselectivity increased with the average of sulfate groups/mol. β Cavity size complexed better, although and γ cavities did not compromise separation. 6-Heptakis-S-β-CD had less affinity and separation efficiency, attributed to its lower degree and unique position of substitution. The method was optimized with S-β-CD (Aldrich, randomly substituted, 7–11 groups/mol). With this selector, the effect of pH value (3–9) was evaluated. Around pH 7 the cross-over point with change in the direction and order of migration was observed, associated with great enantioselectivity and long migration times. Fine tuning was done by adjusting the CD concentration and the buffer counterion. Definitive conditions were: uncoated silica capillary, 10 mM S-β-CD–25 mM sodium phosphate, pH 3. Validation parameters are included.     

Capillary electrophoretic analysis of cyclodextrins with dynamic fluorescence labeling and detection

The use of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (8,1-ANS) as buffer additive in the capillary electrophoretic separation of cyclodextrins (CDs) was investigated. Better detection sensitivity was obtained for - and γ-CDs than with previously reported capillary electrophoretic methods. Increasing the concentration of 8,1-ANS improved resolution and sensitivities for -, β- and γ-CDs, while decreasing the pH of the background electrolyte can improve sensitivities. Detection limits for -, β- and γ-CDs were determined to be 60, 20 and 7 μM, respectively. The formation constants of CD–8,1-ANS complexes at pH 6 were also measured by capillary electrophoresis. Finally the specificity of amyloglucosidase to CDs was analyzed as a practical application of this method.     

Comparison of charged cyclodextrin derivatives for the chiral separation of atropisomeric polychlorinated biphenyls by capillary electrophoresis

Charged cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives were used as chiral selectors in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) for the chiral separation of highly hydrophobic neutral racemates such as atropisomeric polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). beta-CD-phosphated, beta-CD sulfated, succinylated-gamma-CD (Succ-gamma-CD) and succinylated-beta-CD (Succ-beta-CD) were used as anionic CDs. As cationic CD, 6-monodeoxy-6-monoamino-beta-CD (beta-CD-NH(2)) was tested for the first time in order to separate PCBs. From the different CD derivatives employed, the best separations were obtained with the cationic CD derivative. Thus, the use of beta-CD-NH(2 )in phosphate buffer at pH 2.0 containing urea allowed the chiral recognition of eleven PCBs (45, 84, 88, 91, 95, 131, 136, 144, 149, 176, and 197). In this case, the addition of 2 M urea to the buffer solution was crucial to achieve the chiral separation of PCBs. The addition of acetonitrile to 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.0) with 30 mM beta-CD-NH(2) and 2 M urea improved considerably the chiral resolution obtained for PCBs 91, 95, 136, 144, 149, and 197 although an increase in the analysis time was also observed. All the results obtained were compared with those previously obtained with the dual CD system carboxymethyl-gamma-CD/beta-CD.     

New 6,6'-disubstituted-binaphthol derivatives as chiral dopants: Synthesis and temperature dependence of molecular conformations

A number of new chiral binaphthol (BN) derivatives with different substituents R,R' in the 6,6'-positions in open (BN-diethylethers) and bridged forms (BN-acetals) have been synthesized. The syntheses of the chiral 6,6'-disubstituted-2,2'-diethoxy-1,1'-binaphthyls (R,R' = -CH'CHCHO, -CH'CH-(p-BrPh), -CH'CH-(p-CHOPh)) and the chiral 9,14-disubstituted-dinaphtho [2,1-d:1',2'-f][1,3] dioxepins with R,R' = -CH'CH-(p-BrPh), -CH'CH-(p-CHOPh) are reported for the first time. The possible liquid crystalline properties and molar twisting powers (β_M) in three different nematic liquid crystals (LCs) of the BN derivatives were investigated. Derivatives with spatially extended substituents in the 6,6'-positions (e.g. styryl or vinyl) show unusually high molar twisting power (up to 124.5μm^-1). A direct correlation between the magnitude of β_M and the length of the substituents was found. Bridged forms, in which the dihedral angle θ between the naphthyl moieties is ≊ 54°, show higher twisting power than the corresponding open forms, where θ is allowed to vary around 90° resulting in an equilibrium between transoid and cisoid forms. From the different temperature dependencies of β_M of the open and bridged BN_s, a molecular model was developed relating the molecular conformation and twisting power. Although no mesophase was found in any of the compounds synthesized, they can be considered as important precursors for the synthesis of potential chiral BN-containing LCs.     

The CGC enantiomer separation of 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters by using β-cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral stationary phases

Chiral 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters are important intermediates in preparation of enantioenriched 2-arylpropionic acids type Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Enantiomer separation of 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters is crucial for evaluation of the asymmetric synthesis efficiency and the enantiomer excess of chiral 2-arylcarboxylic acid derivatives. The capillary gas chromatography (CGC) enantiomer separation of 17 pairs of 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters enantiomers was conducted by using seven different β-cyclodextrin derivatives (CDs) as chiral stationary phases. It was found that for the 7 pairs of 2-phenylpropionates enantiomers, CDs with both alkyl and acyl substituents especially 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-butyryl-β-cyclodextrin exhibited better enantiomer separation abilities than the other CDs examined. For the 7 pairs of 2-(4-substituted phenyl)propionates enantiomers, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin possessed better enantiomer separation abilities than the other CDs. Among the 3 pairs of 2-phenylbutyrates enantiomers examined, only methyl 2-phenylbutyrate enantiomers could be separated by three CDs among the 7 CDs tested, while enantiomers of ethyl 2-phenylbutyrate and isopropyl 2-phenylbutyrate couldn't be separated by any of the 7 CDs tested. Besides the structures of CDs, the structures of 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters including different ester moieties, substituents of phenyl, and different carboxylic acids moieties in 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters also affected the enantiomer separation results greatly. The CGC enantiomer separation results of 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters on different CDs are useful for solving the enantiomer separation problem of 2-arylcarboxylic acid esters.

Chiral C2-symmetric 2,3-disubstituted aziridine and 2,6-disubstituted piperidine as chiral ligands in the addition reaction of diethylzinc with arylaldehydes

Chiral C₂-symmetric 2,3-disubstituted aziridines and 2,6-disubstituted piperidines having a β-amino alcohol moiety have been successfully synthesized and their catalytic chiral induction properties have been examined in the asymmetric addition reactions of diethylzinc with arylaldehydes in hexane. When N-(2,2-diphenyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-(S,S)-2,3-bis(methoxymethyl)aziridine 11 was used as a catalytic chiral ligand, sec-alcohols having (S)-configuration formed in high yields of 86–92% but low enantiomeric excesses (ee's) of 11–13%. However, when N-(2,2-diphenyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-(R,R)-2,6-disubstituted piperidine derivatives 16 and 20 were used as the chiral ligands under the same reaction conditions, the ee's of the corresponding sec-alcohols were 20–30 and 5–6%, respectively, along with the inversion of absolute configuration. A plausible mechanism for this inversion is proposed.     

Regioselective ring cleavage of chiral β-trichloromethyl-β-propiolactone with organoaluminum compounds for the synthesis of optically active intermediates

A novel alkylating ring cleavage reaction of enantiomerically pure β-trichloromethyl-β-propiolactone as a chiral building block with organoaluminum compounds provided ring-opened products with a chiral trichloromethyl carbinol moiety. A product was demonstrated to be used as an effective chiral synthon for the synthesis of chiral bioactive derivatives such as ipsdienol and sodium cilastatin.     

Enantiomer separation of hydrophobic amino compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography using crown ether dynamically coated chiral stationary phase

CROWNPAK CR(+) column, which is powerful for the separation of amino acid enantiomers, must be used at a column temperature below 50°C and a mobile phase containing less than 15% methanol, because the chiral crown ether moiety of the stationary phase is dynamically coated on an ODS matrix. The second peak of the enantiomers of alanine-β-naphthylamide (Ala-β-NA) appeared at 204 min (k₂=148) by using ordinary mobile phase, that is, a mixture of 10 mM perchloric acid and 15% methanol. In this study, enantiomer separations of Ala-β-NA and 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (1-NEA), both of which are hydrophobic amino compounds, were investigated through the modification of the mobile phase. Addition of crown ether, cyclodextrins (CDs), cations, etc., affected the stability of the complex between an analyte and the chiral moiety, leading to fast separation. The second peak of the enantiomers of Ala-β-NA appeared at 68 min (k₂=49) through the addition of 10 mM β-CD, or at 61 min (k₂=44) using potassium dihydrophosphate as a buffer component. This method was applied for the optical purity testing of -Ala-β-NA, which is used as one of the chiral derivatization reagents for carboxylic compounds. Validations such as reproducibility and linearity were also demonstrated and this method was found to be sufficient as a quality control method for the optical purity testing of -Ala-β-NA. As little as 0.05% -form in -Ala-β-NA could be determined.     

Lipase-catalysed resolution of 3,3′-bi-indolizines: The first preparative access to enantiomerically pure samples

The lipase-catalysed kinetic resolution of the axially chiral 3,3′-bis[1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-phenylindolizine] [(±)-1a] and the corresponding 3-hydroxypropyl derivative (±)-1b by acylation with vinyl acetate in the presence of lipases from different origins has been investigated. For the first time, enantiomerically pure 3,3′-biindolizine derivatives were obtained on a preparative scale by careful monitoring of the conversion.     

Synthesis and properties of new chiral dopants containing a δ-lactone ring for practical ferroelectric liquid crystal mixtures

A series of new optically active δ-lactones were synthesized as chiral dopants for ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs). The response time of an FLC mixture containing 4 mol% (S)-2,2-dimethyl-5-[2-fluoro-4-(5-n-octylpyrimidin-2-yl)-phenoxy[methyl-δ-valerolactone was 25 μs at 25°C. (0-90 per cent change in light transmission, 10 V μm^-1). The synthesis and properties of these materials as practical chiral dopants are reported.     

Enantioseparation of α-Amino Acids by Capillary Electrophoresis Using L-Cysteine-Modified Cyclodextrins as Chiral Selectors

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful separation technique that was used in a wide range of analytical chemical applications. Cyclodextrins(CDs) are the most commonly used chiral selectors in chiral capillary electrophoresis at the present time. Under neutral conditions, however, native CDs are neutral and usually applicable only for the enantioseparation of charged analyses. To overcome this defect we modified α- and β-CD with a L-cysteine moiety and used the CD derivatives as chiral selectors for the separation of a-amino acid enantiomers by the ligand exchange mode.     

Theoretical study of peptide model dimers. Homo versus heterochiral complexes

The study of possible chiral recognition of a series of peptide models (For-Gly-NH₂, For-Ala-NH₂ and four of their fluoro substituted derivatives) has been carried out by means of DFT calculations. Homo (L,L) and heterochiral (L,D) dimers formed by hydrogen bond (HB) complexation have been considered. Initially, the conformational preferences of the monomers have been calculated and used to generate all the possible homo and heterochiral dimers. The energetic results show that in most cases, the β monomers are the most stable while in the dimers, the γ–γ complexes show the strongest interaction energies. In three of the four chiral cases studied, a heterochiral dimer is the most stable one. In addition, the electron density and nuclear shielding of the complexes have been studied.     

The asymmetric synthesis of trans-substituted cyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives

Single Isomer N-Heterocyclic Cyclodextrin Derivatives as Chiral Selectors in Capillary Electrophoresis

In order to better understand the chiral recognition mechanisms of positively charged cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives, the synthesis, the pK_a determination by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-pH titration and a comparative chiral capillary electrophoretic (CE) study were performed with two series of mono-substituted cationic single isomer CDs. The first series of selectors were mono-(6-N-pyrrolidine-6-deoxy)-β-CD (PYR-β-CD), mono-(6-N-piperidine-6-deoxy)-β-CD (PIP-β-CD), mono-(6-N-morpholine-6-deoxy)-β-CD (MO-β-CD) and mono-(6-N-piperazine-6-deoxy)-β-CD (PIPA-β-CD), carrying a pH-adjustable moiety at the narrower rim of the cavity, while the second set represented by their quaternarized, permanently cationic counterparts: mono-(6-N-(N-methyl-pyrrolidine)-6-deoxy)-β-CD (MePYR-β-CD), mono-(6-N-(N-methyl-piperidine)-6-deoxy)-β-CD (MePIP-β-CD), mono-(6-N-(N-methyl-morpholine)-6-deoxy)-β-CD (MeMO-β-CD) and mono-(6-N-(4,4-N,N-dimethyl-piperazine)-β-CD (diMePIPA-β-CD). Based on pH-dependent and selector concentration-dependent comparative studies of these single isomer N-heterocyclic CDs presented herein, it can be concluded that all CDs could successfully be applied as chiral selectors for the enantiodiscrimination of several negatively charged and zwitterionic model racemates. The substituent-dependent enantiomer migration order reversal of dansylated-valine using PIP-β-CD contrary to PYP-β-CD, MO-β-CD and PIPA-β-CD was also studied by ¹H- and 2D ROESY NMR experiments.     

Enantioseparation of chiral N-imidazole derivatives by electrokinetic chromatography using highly sulfated cyclodextrins: mechanism of enantioselective recognition

Baseline separation of ten new substituted [1-(imidazo-1-yl)-1-phenylmethyl)] benzothiazolinone and benzoxazolinone derivatives, with one chiral center, was achieved by CD-EKC using highly sulfated CDs (alpha, beta, gamma highly S-CDs) as chiral selectors. The influence of the type and concentration of the chiral selectors on the enantioseparations was investigated. The highly S-CDs exhibit a very high enantioselectivity power since they allow excellent enantiomeric resolutions compared to those obtained with the neutral CDs. The enantiomers were resolved with analysis times inferior to 2.5 min and resolution factors R(s) of 3.73, 3.90, 1.40, and 4.35 for compounds 1, 2, 3, and 5, respectively, using 25 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 containing either highly S-alpha-CD, highly S-beta-CD, and highly S-gamma-CD (3 or 4% w/v) at 298 K, with an applied field of 0.30 kV/cm. The determination of the enantiomer migration order for the various analytes and the study of the analyte structure-enantioseparation relationships display the high contribution of the interactions between the analytes phenyl ring and the CDs to the enantiorecognition process. The thermodynamic study of the analyte-CD affinities permits us to improve our knowledge about the enantioseparation mechanism.
