A Chiral Recognition Mechanism Proposed for Resolving π-Acidic Racemates on π-Acidic Chiral Stationary Phases Derived from (S)-Leucine

A chiral recognition mechanism which can rationalize the resolution of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino amides on chiral stationary phases (CSPs) obtained from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine amide derivatives has been proposed on the basis of the chromatographic resolution behavior of various N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino acid derivatives and N-(various benzoyl)leucine N-propyl amides. The proposed chiral recognition mechanism utilizes two hydrogen bonding interactions between the CSP and the analyte and a π-π donor-acceptor interaction between the N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) groups of the CSP and the analyte. From the chiral recognition mechanism proposed, it has been concluded that the resolution of π-acidic N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino acid derivatives on π-acidic CSPs derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine amide delivatives is not unusual, but is merely the extension of the resolution of the π-basic racemates on π-acidic CSPs. However, the chromatographic behavior of the resolution of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine derivatives on CSPs derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine amide derivatives is different from that of the resolution of other N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino acid derivatives. To rationalize this exceptional behavior, a second chiral recognition mechanism which utilizes two hydrogen bonding interactions (which are different from those of the first chiral recognition mechanism) between the CSP and the analytes and a π-π donor-acceptor interaction between the N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) group of the CSP and the phenyl group of the analytes has been proposed to compete with the first chiral recognition mechanism. In this instance, it has been proposed that the separation factors and the elution orders of the resolution of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine derivatives are dependent on the balance of the two competing chiral recognition mechanisms.     

Enantioseparation of racemic N-acylarylalkylamines on various amino alcohol derived tau-acidic chiral stationary phases

Five tau-acidic chiral stationary phases (CSPs), CSP 4, CSP 5, CSP 6, CSP 7 and CSP 8, were prepared by connecting the N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl) derivative of (R)-alaninol, (S)-leucinol, (1S,2R)-ephedrine and (S)-tert-leucinol and the O-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) derivative of (R)-phenylglycinol to silica gel through a carbamate or urea linkage. The CSPs were applied to the resolution of various racemic N-acyl-1-naphthylaminoalkanes by chiral HPLC, and the chromatographic resolution results were compared with those of previously reported CSPs (CSP 2, CSP 3), which are derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-(1S,2R)-norephedrine and N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-(R)-phenylglycinol. Based on a comparison of the resolution results for each CSP, the role of each functional group on the five chiral selectors is explained.     

Extended application of a chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(1 8-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to the resolution of N-(substituted benzoyl)-alpha-amino acid amides

A chiral stationary phase (CSP 1) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid was applied to the resolution of N-(substituted benzoyl)-alpha-amino acid amides and esters. N-(Substituted benzoyl)-alpha-amino acid amides were well resolved using a mixture of acetic acid-triethylamine-acetonitrile (0.01:0.05:100, v/v/v) as an optimum mobile phase while N-(substituted benzoyl)-alpha-amino acid esters were not resolved at all. In contrast, both N-(substituted benzoyl)-alpha-amino acid amides and esters were not resolved at all or resolved very poorly on another CSP (CSP 2), which lacks the two N-H hydrogens of the amide tethers of CSP 1. Among the substituents on the benzoyl group of analytes, the nitro group was the best for good resolution of analytes on CSP 1. From these results, the two N-H hydrogens of the amide tethers of CSP 1, the carbonyl oxygen of the amide group of analytes, and the nitro group on the benzoyl group of analytes were concluded to play significant roles in chiral recognition. In addition, various N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine amides with different lengths of N-alkylamide chains were resolved on CSP 1 and N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) leucine N-propylamide was found to show the best chiral recognition in terms of the separation (alpha = 1.30) and the resolution factor (Rs= 3.17).     

Intermolecular (1)H-(1)H Two-Dimensional Nuclear Overhauser Enhancements in the Characterization of a Rationally Designed Chiral Recognition System

Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for liquid chromatography derived from N-(acyl)proline-3,5-dimethylanilides separate the enantiomers of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino esters and amides with high levels of selectivity. These CSPs have been used to assemble a large body of chromatographic data which indirectly supports the validity of the mechanistic rationale originally used in the design of these CSPs. We herein report (1)H and (13)C chemical shift data obtained when the (S)-enantiomer of chiral solvating agent (CSA) 3, a soluble analogue of the selector used in CSP (S)-1, acts on each of the enantiomers of the dimethylamide of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine, 2. The changes in chemical shift in the mixture of (S)-2 and (S)-3 support the existence of those interactions thought to be essential to chiral recognition in this system. In addition, significant intermolecular NOESY enhancements are observed in this mixture. These NOE data are consistent with the structure expected for the more stable diastereomeric adsorbate formed between (S)-2 and the (S)-proline-derived CSP 1. No intermolecular NOEs are observed for corresponding mixtures of the chiral solvating agent (S)-3 and (R)-2, the enantiomer least retained on (S)-CSP 1.     

Experimental support differenciating two proposed chiral recognition models for the resolution of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-arylalkylamines on high-performance liquid chromatography chiral stationary phases

In rationalizing the odd chromatographic behavior for the separation of the enantiomers of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-arylalkylamines on HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from alpha-(6,7-dimethyl-1-naphthyl)alkylamines, we initially suggested the occurrence of two competing, opposite sense chiral recognition processes termed the "dipole-stacking process" and the "hydrogen-bonding process". A simplified "single mechanism" model was later suggested with the importance of face to edge pi-pi interaction between aromatic rings come to recognized. The initial and subsequent chiral recognition models can be differentiated by noting the chromatographic trends for the enantioseparation of a homologous series of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-(p-alkylphenyl)ethylamines on the aforementioned CSPs. Data so obtained were consistent with the second "single mechanism" model but not with the first "two competing mechanism" model. From these results, it has been concluded that the "single mechanism" model is more plausible than the "two competing mechanism" model.     

The Resolution of Enantiomeric Ibuprofen on Chiral Stationary Phases Containing N-Arylcarbamoyl Derivatives of Phenylglycine

A series of fourteen anilide derivatives of ibuprofen were resolved on six chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from N-arylcarbamoyl derivatives of (S)-phenylglycine. Excellent chiral resolutions were achieved on these CSPs. The ionic-type CSPs showed better chiral recognition abilities than the corresponding covalent-type CSPs, and the CSP bearing two chiral centers has better performance than the CSPs bearing only one chiral center. The highest separation factor was achieved using the ionic-type CSP bearing two chiral centers for the resolution of the 3,5-dinitroanilide derivative of ibuprofen. This result is better than those reported in literature for the resolution of ibuprofen on the CSPs derived from amino acids, According to the chromatographic behaviors, the hydrogen bonding interaction, the π-π interactions provided by the phenyl groups in CSPs bearing one chiral center, and the phenylethylcarbamoyl moiety in CSPs bearing two chiral centers dominate the chiral recognition.     

Unusual resolution of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino acids on a chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

While HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on chiral crown ethers have been known useful for the resolution of only racemic primary amino compounds or some secondary amino compounds, in this study, we first demonstrated that the CSP based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid is also useful for the resolution of N-benzoyl-alpha-amino acids, which do not contain a primary or secondary amino group. Especially, N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino acids were resolved better than corresponding N-(3-nitrobenzoyl)- or N-benzoyl-alpha-amino acids, the separation (alpha) and the resolution factors (R(S)) for the resolution of eight N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino acids being in the range of 1.06-1.81 and 0.54-2.81, respectively. The optimum mobile phase condition was the mixture of acetic acid-triethylamine-acetonitrile with the ratio of 0.05/0.25/100 (v/v/v).     

Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopic chiral discrimination using self-assembled leucine derivative monolayer

Pirkle-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) showed excellent enantiomeric separation for amino acid derivatives by forming energetically different two transient diastereomeric pi-pi donor-acceptor complexes with two enantiomers. A CSP derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) leucine with a thiol ending group for immobilization on Au was synthesized and self-assembled on Au surface as chiral sensing layer. The monolayer characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic methods such as AFM, FTIR reflection absorption spectroscopy (FTIR-RAS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The enantiospecific detection onto CSP of the leucine derivative was studied by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). (S)-CSP SAM showed high chiral differential detection for (S)-analyte in a range of 1.0x10(-9) to 1.0x10(-4) M. In combination with the SPR method, the leucine derivative monolayer provided a reliable and simple experimental platform for enantiospecific detection.     

Study of chiral recognition mechanism of O,O-diethyl (p-methylbenzenesulfonamindo)-aryl(alkyl)-methylphosphonates by HPLC with a series of CSPs

Five chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were used to separate the enantiomers of a series of O,O-diethyl (p-methyl-benzenesulfonamindo)- aryl(alkyl)-methylphosphonates. A chiral recognition mechanism was presented to explain the resolution of these compounds. Results show that CSP with strong π-acceptor 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl group and high steric hindrance has the best resolution ability in chiral separation of O,O-diethyi (p-methyl-benzenesulfonamindo)- aryl(alkyl)-methylphosphonates. When a CSP has just a strong π-acceptor 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl or high steric hindrance it does not have good chiral resolution ability. The chiral recognition is more difficult when the CSP has more than one asymmetric center.

Design,Preparation and Application of a New π‐Basic Chiral Stationary Phase for the Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Enantiomers

A new reciprocal π‐basic chiral stationary phase (CSP) was designed based on the reciprocity conception of chiral recognition and prepared starting from (S)‐leucine. The CSP thus prepared was applied in resolving various π‐acidic N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)‐α‐amino amides and esters and found to be very effective. Especially, N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)‐α‐amino N,N‐dialkyl amides were resolved very well on the new reciprocal CSP. From the chromatographic resolution results and based on the reciprocity conception of chiral recognition with the aid of Corey/Pauling/Koltan (CPK) molecular model studies, a chiral recognition mechanism which utilizes π‐π interaction and simultaneously two hydrogen bonding interactions between the CSP and the analyte has been proposed. The CSP prepared in this study was also successful in resolving 3,5‐dinitrophenylcarbamate derivatives of 2‐hydroxycarboxylic acid esters.     

Preparation and application of HPLC chiral stationary phases based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

Preparation of liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid and their application are reviewed. The various methods of connecting (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to silica gel covalently or dynamically are demonstrated. The CSPs based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid have been very successful for the resolution of various primary amino compounds with the use of an aqueous mobile phase containing organic and acidic modifiers. In addition, the resolution of secondary amino compounds including beta-blockers and N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino acids has been demonstrated on a CSP based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid with a non-aqueous mobile phase.     

(1S,2R)-N-(3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl) Norephedrine Bonded to Silica Gel as a Chiral Stationary Phase for the Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Enantiomers

Abstract

A Chiral Stationary Phase (CSP 3) was prepared by connecting (1S,2R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) norephedrine to a silica support through an ester linkage. CSP 3 was found to show some differences from CSP 1, derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine, in the resolution of N-acyl-1-aryl-1-aminoalkanes. For example, CSP 3 was found to show greater chiral recognition for conformationally rigid analytes than does CSP 1. On the other hand, CSP 1 was found to resolve flexible analytes better than CSP 3. To explain the chiral recognition behavior on CSP 3, the role of the conformational flexibility of CSP 3 in chiral recognition is proposed.

Liquid Chromatographic Resolution of Enantiomeric Dipeptides on the Chiral Stationary Phase Derived from (S)-1-(6,7-Dimethyl-1-naphthyl)isobutylamine

Abstract

Liquid chromatographic resolution of fifteen enantiomeric dipeptide methyl esters as their N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl derivatives was investigated on the chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from (S)-1-(6,7-dimethyl-1-naphthyl)isobutylamine. The four stereoisomers present in each dipeptide derivative were observed to be separated quite well with the (R,R) isomer being eluted first. The separation factors for two enantiomeric pairs such as (R,R)/(S,S) and (R,S)/(S,R) and the elution orders are explained by two competing “opposite-sense” chiral recognition mechanisms.     

Enantiomeric separation using temperature-responsive chiral polymers composed of L-valine diamide derivatives in aqueous liquid chromatography

This paper describes enantiomer separation by aqueous liquid chromatography using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in which temperature-responsive polymers derived from acryloyl-L-valine N-methylamide (1) and its N,N-dimethylamide analogue (2) were bound on silica gel supports. The linear polymers composed of monomer 1 and monomer 2 are temperature-responsive in solution and their aggregation and extension states related to water solubility are reversible at particular critical temperatures. During chromatography, enantioselectivity and retentivity for solute enantiomers were controlled by column temperature, which changes the aggregation and extension states of the chiral polymers depending upon their interior hydrophobic nature. Two different types of CSPs were made: a temperature-responsive linear polymer derived from 3-mercaptopropyl silica gel, and another polymer cross-linked with ethylene dimethacrylate from 3-methacryloyloxypropyl silica gel. The former CSP could separate racemic N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl(DNB))amino acid isopropyl esters. Retention of the amino acid derivatives was prolonged with an increase in column temperature. Enantioselectivity was also enhanced with temperature increase until the particular critical temperature. The latter, cross-linked CSP could not provide enantioselectivity for the amino acid derivatives in aqueous media, although the chiral valine diamide moieties were effective for enantiomer separation in non-aqueous media. The degree of hydrophobicity and volume of the bonded phase formed by the polymers on the support surface was determined by measuring the fluorescence of pyrene.     

Steric and electronic effects in the resolution of enantiomeric amides on a commercially available Pirkle-type high-performance liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase

The steric and electronic effects in the resolution of enantiomeric amides on a commercially available (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine chiral stationary phase (CSP) have been investigated. Several homologous series of enantiomeric amides were synthesized from alkyl and aromatic amines and from alkyl and aromatic acids. The results of the study indicate that chiral recognition is based on the formation of diastereomeric solute-CSP complexes that are due to attractive interactions located on a single bond in both the solute and CSP and on steric interactions within the complexes. The magnitude of the chiral resolution appears to depend on the steric bulk at the chiral center. In addition, when the amides synthesized from chiral amines were chromatographed, the (R)-enantiomers eluted first, whereas the opposite elution order was found for the amides synthesized from enantiomeric carboxylic acids. Thus, the amide moiety not only provides the sites of attractive interaction between the solute and CSP, but also influences the spatial orientation of the two molecules, thereby affecting the relative stabilities of the two diastereomeric complexes and determining the enantiomeric elution order.     

Solvation of phenylglycine- and leucine-derived chiral stationary phases: molecular dynamics simulation study

A theoretical study of the solvation of ( R)- N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine- and ( R)- N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine-derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs) is presented. Semiflexible models of the chiral selectors are prepared from B3LYP/6-311G** calculations, and these are used in the molecular dynamics simulations of the corresponding interface. The chiral interface is examined for four solvents: 100% hexane, 90:10 hexane:2-propanol, 80:20 hexane:2-propanol, and 100% 2-propanol. Despite the similarities between phenylglycine and leucine, the interfaces are distinct both in terms of the selector orientations at the surface and in the number of hydrogen bonds formed with 2-propanol. We also find that an increase in alcohol concentration alters the preferred orientations of the selectors.     

Preparation and chromatographic evaluation of β-cyclodextrin derivative CSPs bearing substituted phenylcarbamate groups for HPLC

Five β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivatives bearing substituted phenylcarbamate/3-(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamate groups at the 2-, 3-, and 6-positions of glucose unit and another five derivatives containing benzoate at the 2-position and substituted phenylcarbamate/3-(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamate groups at the 3- and 6-positions were synthesized using the regioselective esterification method. The obtained β-CD derivatives were efficiently immobilized onto the silica gel through the intermolecular polycondensation of a small amount of the triethoxysilyl groups, which were used as the chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The chiral separation properties of these CSPs were evaluated under the normal-phase HPLC. The effects of solvent polarity and the side chain structures of β-CD derivatives on the chiral recognition ability of the immobilized CSPs were investigated. Among these β-CD derivative CSPs, 2,3,6-tris(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate)-β-CD CSP showed a relatively high chiral recognition ability for the studied racemates. The regioselective esterification at the 2-position of glucose unit in the β-CD decreased the chiral recognition ability at the same conditions. For some racemates, the β-CD derivative CSPs showed chiral recognition abilities comparable or better to some chemical bonded β-CD derivative CSPs and 3,5-dichloro- and 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose CSPs.     

Liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers of beta-amino acids using a chiral stationary phase

The enantiomers of both alpha-substituted beta-alanines and beta-substituted beta-alanines may be chromatographically separated using silica-bonded chiral stationary phases derived from N-acetylated alpha-arylalkylamines. The amino acids are chromatographed as alkyl esters of N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl derivatives; separability factors range from 1.11 to 1.65 for nine alpha-substituted beta-alanines and from 1.08 to 1.20 for nine beta-substituted beta-alanines. The enantiomers of beta-aminoisobutyrate and beta-leucine, chiral beta-amino acids occurring in animal tissues and physiological fluids, are among those resolved. The enantiomers of R,S-beta-aminoisobutyrate and several related alpha-alkyl-beta-alanines were prepared by chromatographic resolution of diastereomeric dipeptides.
