Convenient synthesis of mono(6-N-allylamino-6-deoxy)permethylated β-cyclodextrin: a promising chiral selector for an HPLC chiral stationary phase

Mono(6-(p-toluenesulfonyl))permethylated β-cyclodextrin, a versatile precursor for a wide variety of mono-functionalized permethyl β-cyclodextrins, has been generated successfully by the direct methylation of monotosylated cyclodextrin. This afforded a convenient synthesis of mono(6^A-N-allylamino-6^A-deoxy)permethylated β-cyclodextrin. Hydrosilylation of the chiral selector with (EtO)₃SiH and reaction of the resultant reactive siloxane with pristine silica gel afforded a facile entry into a structurally well-defined chiral HPLC stationary phase.     

Chromatographic enantioseparation of racemic α-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorate by a Merrifield resin-bound enantiomerically pure chiral dimethylpyridino-18-crown-6 ligand

Three novel chiral pyridino-18-crown-6 ligands (S,S)-1, (S,S)-2 and (S,S)-3 were prepared and (S,S)-1 was attached to a Merrifield resin. The resulting adsorbent (S,S)-5 was used as a chiral stationary phase in the chromatographic enantioseparation of racemic α-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorate. Also, a new chiral pyridono-18-crown-6 ligand (S,S)-6, used for the synthesis of (S,S)-1 and (S,S)-2, was prepared in two different ways.     

Design and synthesis of a conformationally restricted trans peptide isostere based on the bioactive conformations of saquinavir and nelfinavir

The design and synthesis of a new peptide isostere which contains a trans alkene core is described. The key step involves a Wadsworth-Emmons reaction between chiral aldehyde (2S)-9a and chiral phosphonate 7 under base-sensitive conditions to give a chiral enone (2R)-24a which was reduced to afford the desired trans alkene isosteres (2R,5R)-6a and (2R,5S)-6b (Scheme 6). A potential application of this isostere in the synthesis of HIV protease inhibitors is also discussed.     

Synthesis,chiroptical properties and absolute configuration of spiro[1,3-benzodioxole-methanocyclooct[b]indole

The synthesis of chiral 1'H-spiro[1,3-benzodioxole-2,12'-[6',10']methanocyclooct[b]indole] 3, a fused polycyclic structure derived from bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, was accomplished via the Fisher indolization reaction. Enantiomers of this structure were obtained by chiral HPLC enantiomer separation on a swollen microcrystalline triacetylcellulose column. Chiroptical properties of the resolved enantiomers containing indole and 1,2-methylenedioxybenzene chromophores were studied. Application of the sector rule to the 1,2-methylenedioxybenzene chromophore to establish the absolute configuration of this polycyclic structure did not lead to an unequivocal conclusion which is likely to be due to the transannular interaction of the chromophores. The enantiospecific synthesis from enantiomerically enriched (-)-(1R,5S)-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,9-dione 1 was performed to prove unequivocally the (+)-(6'R,10'S)-configuration of the title structure. This study demonstrates that semiempirical rules should be applied cautiously to the determination of the absolute configuration of molecules containing several chromophores.     

Microwave assisted synthesis of Py-Im polyamides

Microwave synthesis was utilized to rapidly build Py-Im polyamides in high yields and purity using Boc-protection chemistry on Kaiser oxime resin. A representative polyamide targeting the 5'-WGWWCW-3' (W = A or T) subset of the consensus Androgen and Glucocorticoid Response Elements was synthesized in 56% yield after 20 linear steps and HPLC purification. It was confirmed by Mosher amide derivatization of the polyamide that a chiral α-amino acid does not racemize after several additional coupling steps.     

Chiral discrimination of primary amines by HPLC after labeling with a chiral derivatization reagent, trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)-cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride

Enantiomeric discrimination of chiral primary amines was performed by both reversed-phase HPLC and normal-phase HPLC after labeling with a chiral fluorescent derivatization reagent, (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride. Use of HPLC permits separation of diastereomeric derivatives of amines up to C30 which have a primary amino group at the middle of the alkyl chain. The derivatives of primary amines having an anteiso alkyl chain, which has a chiral branched-methyl at the n-3 position of the alkyl chain, were also separated by HPLC, and it was also possible to separate niphatesine D by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization.     

Convergent solid phase peptide synthesis. I. Synthesis of protected segments on a hydroxymethylphenyloxymethyl resin using the base labile FMOC α-amine protection. Model synthesis of LHRH.

Convergent solid phase peptide synthesis has been applied to yield LHRH. The segments 1–6 and 7–10 of LHRH were synthesized on a hydroxymethylphenyloxymethyl resin using the base labile Fmoc protecting group on the α-amines. The side chains were protected by HF labile groups. Purification of the segments was performed on Sephadex LH-20 columns and by HPLC on Silica Gel 60 columns. The two segments were then assembled on an α-aminobenzyl resin to yield entire sequence of LHRH. After HF treatment and standard purification on Sephadex G-15 and carboxymethylcellulose CM-52 the desired LHRH was obtained. Synthesis of the segments by the same strategy on carbazoyloxymethylphenyloxymethyl resin showed up unexpected difficulties.     

The synthesis and resolution of 2,2'-, 4,4'-, and 6,6'-substituted chiral biphenyl derivatives for application in the preparation of chiral materials

Various routes were examined for the synthesis of chiral biphenyl species that are substituted at the 2,2', 4,4' and 6,6' positions. Because the biaryl bond is tetrasubstituted, many coupling reactions were not suitable. The most reliable coupling reaction proved to be the Ullmann, which gave the desired product in 82% yield. The products were required as the starting point for the preparation of chiral materials using these as the monomer. For this reason, a route was required that produced large quantities of both enantiomers. The two enantiomers were resolved at the penultimate step by the use of chiral HPLC. A complicating feature proved to be the necessity to have a reactive group at the 4,4' positions, which would permit polymerization though this point. Ultimately, we employed an Ullmann coupling on a dibrominated arene, which occurred selectively at the more hindered bromine by virtue of the directing effect of an ortho ester substituent.     

Development of a solid-phase 'asymmetric resin-capture-release' process: application of an ephedrine chiral resin in an approach to gamma-butyrolactones

The potential of a solid-phase asymmetric resin-capture-release strategy for high-throughput synthesis has been evaluated. Fukuzawa's Sm(ii)-mediated, asymmetric approach to gamma-butyrolactones was selected to illustrate the feasibility of such a process. Alpha,beta-unsaturated esters immobilised on an ephedrine chiral resin have been applied in an asymmetric approach to gamma-butyrolactones. Lactone products are obtained in moderate isolated yields with selectivities up to 96% ee. In addition, we have shown that the ephedrine resin can be conveniently recovered and recycled although in some cases lower yields were obtained on reuse of the chiral resin. A short synthesis of a moderate DNA-binding microbial metabolite using asymmetric resin-capture-release is also described.     

Enzymatic synthesis of (R) and (S) 1-deuterohexanol

This paper describes practical enzymatic procedures for the synthesis of (R) and (S) 1-deuterohexanol, a useful building block for chiral poly isocyanated liquid crystals. Alcohol dehydrogenases from horse liver and Pseudomonas catalyzed the reduction of hexanal with deuterated NAD (NADD) resulting in 50% and 89% yields of (R) and (S) 1-deuterohexanol, respectively. The deuterated cofactor was regenerated in situ by alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of ethanol-d6 or 2-propanol-d8. The (S) alcohol was also synthesized by the horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase reduction of 1-deuterohexanal, which was prepared chemically from hexanal. The yields of the reaction were greatly increased by the use of a biphasic system or with the immobilized enzyme in anhydrous organic solvents. Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase was stabilized by immobilization on PAN or noncovalent entrapment on XAD resin.     

(S,S)-diphenyl-ethanediamine (DPEDA) derivatives as chiral selectors Part I. Undecenoyl bound dinitrobenzoyl-DPEDA as a broadly applicable chiral stationary phase

Summary The synthesis of optically pure (S,S)-N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine (DNB-DPE-DA) immobilized via an undecenoyl spacer onto silica gel and the resolving power of this new chiral stationary phase (CSP) for normal phase HPLC are described. The phase shows good enantioselectivity for various chiral compounds containing amide (imide) functionality and π-donor type aromatic subsitutents, and also for some alcohols and sulfoxides. The influence of protic and nonprotic mobile phase components on the enantioselectivity has also been examined. Dedicated to Prof. Dr. G. Zigeuner (Karl-Franzens University of Graz) on the occasion of his 70th birthday.     

三七素手性拆分方法的研究

使用气相色谱法和高效液相色谱法分离了三七素对映体,并探讨了影响液相色谱法分离效果的因素。结果表明,HPLC法利用手性固定相进行直接拆分,无法实现对映体的完全分离;GC法和HPLC的手性试剂衍生化法均可对三七素对映体进行较好的分离。但GC法由于衍生化过程中副产物的存在,干扰了对映体的准确定量。手性试剂衍生化HPLC法,以邻苯二甲醛、N-酰化-L-半胱氨酸为衍生化试剂,反应得到的三七素对映体的衍生物在ODS柱上分离良好,且方法简单、快速。

Synthesis and application of mono-6-(3-methylimidazolium)-6-deoxyperphenylcarbamoyl-beta-cyclodextrin chloride as chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography

The synthesis of mono-6-(3-methylimidazolium)-6-deoxyperphenylcarbamoyl-beta-cyclodextrin chloride (MPCCD) and its application in chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) are being reported. This chiral selector is coated onto silica gel in different weight percentages (15, 20 and 35%, w/w) to obtain CSPs having different loading content. These new chiral stationary phases are tested using normal-phase HPLC for enantioseparation of racemic aromatic alcohols. Indeed, the enantiodiscrimination abilities of these CSPs are found to be influenced by the loading content of the chiral selector. Among the three columns (MPCCD-C15, MPCCD-C20 and MPCCD-C35), the best enantioseparation results are obtained using a column containing 20% (w/w) of MPCCD (MPCCD-C20). The resolution (R(s)) obtained for p-fluorophenylethanol, p-chlorophenylethanol, p-bromophenylethanol, p-iodophenylethanol and p-fluorophenyl-3-buten-1-ol using MPCCD-C20 ranges from 3.83 to 5.65. Good enantioseparation results are obtained for these analytes under SFC separation conditions using the MPCCD-C20 column.     

Enantioselective synthesis of no-carrier added (NCA) 6-[18F]Fluoro-L-Dopa

6-[¹⁸F]Fluoro-L-Dopa (6-FDOPA) is the analogue of L-Dopa, the biosynthesis precursor for dopamine. As a PET tracer, it was widely applied for the presynaptic dopamine function studies in human brain. The application of a chiral phase-transfer-catalyst (PTC) in enantioselective synthesis of N.C.A. 6-[¹⁸F]Fluoro-L-Dopa has been developed recently. An improved procedure was described in this study. The labeling precursor (6-Trimethylammoniumveratraldehyde Triflate) and PTC (O-Allyl-N-(9)-anthracenylcinchonidinium Bromide) were synthesized. A successful synthesis route was developed for the preparation of 6-[¹⁸F]Fluoro-L-Dopa with high radiochemical yields (4-9%, decay uncorrected) and short synthesis time(80min). The radiochemical purity was over 99% and no D-isomer was detected by HPLC analysis using a chiral mobile phase.     

Enantioselective synthesis of endohedral metallofullerenes

Endohedral metallofullerenes are promising materials in biomedical and material sciences. In particular, they are of interest as agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photovoltaic devices, and semimetallic components. The synthesis of chiral endofullerenes represents one step further in the potential use of these carbon allotropes; however, this step has not been addressed so far. In this regard, enantiopure endofullerenes are expected to open new avenues in fields in which chirality is a key issue. Here, the synthesis and characterization of the first chiral endohedral metallofullerenes, namely, chiral bis-adducts of La@C(72), are reported. Eight optically active isomers were obtained by enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a N-metalated azomethine ylide onto a non-isolated-pentagon rule metallofullerene derivative, La@C(72)(C(6)H(3)Cl(2)), catalyzed by a copper chiral complex. The chiral bis-adducts of La@C(72), isolated by nonchiral HPLC, showed optical purities as high as 98% as revealed by the remarkable positive or negative Cotton effects observed in the circular dichroic spectra.     

Preparation of chitosan‐based molecularly imprinted material for enantioseparation of racemic mandelic acid in aqueous medium by solid phase extraction

An S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin was synthesized by cross‐linking chitosan with glutaraldehyde in 2% acetic acid solution. S‐Mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin was used to enantioselectively separate racemic mandelic acid in aqueous medium. When keeping the pH of sample solution (100 mM Tris‐H₃PO₄) at 3.5 and adsorption time at 40 min, the enantiomer excess of mandelic acid in supernatant was 78.8%. The adsorption capacities of S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin for S‐ and R‐mandelic acid were determined to be 29.5 and 2.03 mg/g, respectively. While the adsorption capacities of non‐imprinted cross‐linked chitosan for S‐ and R‐mandelic acid were 2.10 and 2.08 mg/g, respectively. The result suggests that the imprinted caves in S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin are highly matched with S‐mandelic acid molecule in space structure and spatial arrangement of action sites. Interestingly, the enantiomer excess value of mandelic acid in supernatant after adsorption of racemic mandelic acid by R‐mandelic acid imprinted cross‐linked chitosan was 25.4%. The higher enantiomer excess value by S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin suggests that the chiral carbons in chitosan and the imprinted caves in S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin combine to play roles for the enantioselectivity of S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin toward S‐mandelic acid. Furthermore, the excellent enantioselectivity of S‐mandelic acid imprinted chitosan resin toward S‐mandelic acid demonstrates that using chiral chitosan as functional monomer to prepare molecularly imprinted polymers has great potential in enantioseparation of chiral pharmaceuticals.     

Reversal Diastereoselectivity Between the Organomagnesium and Organolithium Reagents on Chiral N-Tert-Butylsulfinylaldimines for the Preparation of Chiral Amines

The asymmetric synthesis of both the enantiomer of chiral amines from the single chiral source of N-tert-butylsulfinylaldimines (3) by simply changing the organometallic reagents through diastereoselective addition. An efficient enantioselective synthesis of chiral amines including (S)-3-methyl-1-(2-piperidin-1-yl-phenyl)butyl amine (6a), a key intermediate to prepare antidiabetic drug repaglinide (1), is reported.     

Influence of chiral ionic liquids on the excited-state properties of naproxen analogs

The synthesis and decolorization of chiral room-temperature ionic liquids based upon 1-methyl imidazole and chloromethyl menthyl ether is reported. The excellent optical quality of these solvents permits the investigation of the effects of the two enantiomers on the excited-state photophysics of (S)-N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinemethyl 2(S)-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionate [(S,S)-NPX-PYR]. Whereas in conventional bulk polar solvents such as acetonitrile, (S,S)-NPX-PYR is known to execute excited-state intramolecular electron transfer and to form exciplexes, in these chiral solvents these nonradiative processes are absent. The chiral solvents do, however, induce a small but reproducible (approximately 10%) stereodifferentiation in the fluorescence lifetime of (S,S)-NPX-PYR as well as in the parent compound, (S)-naproxen. To our knowledge, this is the first example of chiral ionic liquids inducing such an effect on photophysical properties.
