Study of the mechanism of enantioseparation part VI: thermodynamic study of HPLC separation of some enantiomers of phenylcarbamic acid derivatives on a (S,S) Whelk-O 1 column

The enantiomers of thirteen 2-, 3-, and 4-alkoxyphenylcarbamic acid 2-methoxy-1-[(4-methylpiperazino)methyl]ethyl ester were separated on a (S,S) Whelk-O 1 CSP column isothermally in the range of 0-50 degrees C at 10 degrees C increments, using methanol/ water (90/10, v/v) containing 17.5 mmol L(-1) acetic acid and 14.36 mmol L(-1) triethylamine as a mobile phase. The dependence of the natural logarithms of retention and selectivity factors (In k, In alpha, respectively) on the inverse of temperature, 1/T, was used to determine thermodynamic data of enantiomers of alkoxysubstituted phenylcarbamic acid 2-methoxy-1-[(4-methylpiperazino) methyl]ethyl esters. Enthalpyentropy compensation plots showed that all of the compounds in this study separate via the same enthalpy-driven chiral recognition mechanism.

Architectural diversity of six coordination compounds based on (S)-(+)-mandelic acid and different N-donor auxiliary ligands: syntheses,structures, and luminescent properties

Six transition metal coordination compounds with H₂mand and different N-donor ligands, [Co(Hmand)₂(2,2′-bipy)]·H₂O (1), [Ni(Hmand)₂(2,2′-bipy)]·H₂O (2), [Ni(Hmand)₂(bpe)] (3), [Zn(Hmand)₂(2,4′-bipy)(H₂O)]·2H₂O (4), [Zn(Hmand)(bpe)(H₂O)]_n[(ClO₄)]_n·nH₂O (5), and [Zn(Hmand)(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)]_n[(ClO₄)]_n (6), were synthesized under different conditions (H₂mand = (S)-(+)-mandelic acid, bpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethane, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, 2,4′-bipy = 2,4′-bipyridine, 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and circular dichroism. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural (0-D structures), which are extended to supramolecular 1-D chains by hydrogen bonding. Compound 3 exhibits 1-D straight chain structures, which are further linked via hydrogen bond interactions to generate a 3-D supramolecular architecture. Compound 4 displays a discrete molecular unit. Neighboring units are further linked by hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions to form a 3-D supramolecular architecture. Compound 5 displays a 2-D undulated network, further extended into a 3-D supramolecular architecture through hydrogen bond interactions. Compound 6 possesses a 2-D sheet structure. Auxiliary ligands and counteranions play an important role in the formation of final frameworks, and the hydrogen-bonding interactions and π–π stacking interactions contributed to the formation of the diverse supramolecular architectures. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 crystallize in chiral space groups, with the circular dichroism spectra exhibiting positive cotton effects. Furthermore, the luminescent properties of 4–6 have been examined in the solid state at room temperature, and the different crystal structures influence emission spectra significantly.     

Quantitative method for determination of amphetamine in plasma using negative ion chemical ionisation GC-MS of o-(pentafluorobenzyloxycarbonyl)-benzoyl derivatives

The use of a novel electrophoric derivatisation reagent, o-(pentafluorobenzyloxycarbonyl)-benzoyl chloride is described for the quantitative determination of amphetamine in plasma. Amphetamine can be quantitatively measured down to 49 pg/mL plasma using only 250 μL of sample due to the extraordinary sensitivity of the derivatives under negative ion chemical ionisation mass spectrometry. Plasma samples were made alkaline with carbonate buffer and treated with n-hexane and reagent solution for 20 min, which, after concentration was measured by negative ion chemical ionisation gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The method is rapid as extraction and derivatisation occur in one single step. [(2) H(5) ]-Amphetamine was used as an internal standard. Validation data are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the assay, including specificity, linearity, accuracy and precision, benchtop stability, freeze-thaw stability, autosampler stability, aliquot analysis and prospective analytical batch size accuracy.     

Asymmetric Hydrogenation Synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-(6′-methoxyl-2-naphthyl) propionic Acid by Cinchona Modified Pd(0)-α-FeOOH Catalyst

During the past decades enormous progress was made in asymmetric catalytic synthesis, an well-known example is BINAP1, the chiral hydrogenation synthesis of S-(+)-naproxen catalyzed by BINAP-Ru dicarboxylate complexes provides excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and good chemical yield (92%), however the pressures is relatively high (135-150 atm) and the (S)-BINAP-Ru(III) complex is very expensive. This problem may present a practical limitation. In recent years new methodolo…     

Partial separation of lactic acid enantiomers by HPLC using (S)-(+)mandelic acid as chiral mobile-phase additive

Summary Separation of lactic acid enantiomers by inductive adsorption has been studied on silica columns using (S)-(+)mandelic acid as the chiral mobile-phase additive. The lactic acid peak is not very strongly retained, broad, strongly tailing and splits in two at loadings lower than 60 mol cm^–2 column cross-section and at mandelic acid concentrations higher than 10^–4M. The splitting indicates partial separation of enantiomers: enantiomerically enriched fractions are obtained but not enantiomerically pure. Lactic acid retention strongly decreases with increasing concentration of both hydroxy-acids; mandelic acid acts by displacement and lactic acid acts by an overloading effect.     

Dissipation of the plant growth regulator hexanoic acid 2-(diethylamino) ethyl ester in pakchoi and soil

A rapid and simple method for determining the plant growth regulator hexanoic acid 2-(diethylamino) ethyl ester (DA-6) in pakchoi and soil using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed. For this purpose, a single step was used to extract DA-6 with dichloromethane from aqueous-acetone extracts of vegetables and soil. Average recoveries of DA-6 in pakchoi and soil were between 85% and 104% at both spiking levels 0.01 and 0.1 mg kg^?1. Relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 11% for all of the recovery tests. The degradation of DA-6 in pakchoi and soil was studied. The results showed that DA-6 degradation in pakchoi and soil coincided with C = 3.9903 e^{?0.0516 t} , C = 0.3476 e^{?0.0224 t} , respectively; the half-lives were 13.43 h and 30.94 h in pakchoi and soil in Beijing, respectively.

Simultaneous determination of 2‐arachidonoylglycerol, 1‐arachidonoylglycerol and arachidonic acid in mouse brain tissue using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

Endocannabinoids (ECs), such as anandamide (AEA) and 2‐arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG), modulate a number of physiological processes, including pain, appetite and emotional state. Levels of ECs are tightly controlled by enzymatic biosynthesis and degradation in vivo. However, there is limited knowledge about the enzymes that terminate signaling of the major brain EC, 2‐AG. Identification and quantification of 2‐AG, 1‐AG and arachidonic acid (AA) is important for studying the enzymatic hydrolysis of 2‐AG. We have developed a sensitive and specific quantification method for simultaneous determination of 2‐AG, 1‐AG and AA from mouse brain and adipose tissues by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) using a simple brain sample preparation method. The separations were carried out based on reversed phase chromatography. Optimization of electrospray ionization conditions established the limits of detection (S/N = 3) at 50, 25 and 65 fmol for 2‐AG, 1‐AG and AA, respectively. The methods were selective, precise (%R.S.D. < 10%) and sensitive over a range of 0.02–20, 0.01–10 and 0.05–50 ng/mg tissue for 2‐AG, 1‐AG and AA, respectively. The quantification method was validated with consideration of the matrix effects and the mass spectrometry (MS) responses of the analytes and the deuterium labeled internal standard (IS). The developed methods were applied to study the hydrolysis of 2‐AG from mouse brain extracts containing membrane bound monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), and to measure the basal levels of 2‐AG, 1‐AG and AA in mouse brain and adipose tissues.

Chiral separation of amides of amino acid on a (S)‐N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)leucine‐N‐phenyl‐N‐propylamide‐bonded silica using nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography

(S)‐N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)leucine‐N‐phenyl‐N‐propylamine‐bonded silica was used as a chiral stationary phase for separation of a set of racemic π‐acidic and π‐basic α‐amino acid amides in electrolyteless ACN‐water eluents by CEC in the RP and polar organic (PO) modes. The effect of the amount of water in the ACN‐water eluent on chiral separation was examined. As water is added to ACN, retention was shortened but resolution and selectivity deteriorated severely. Retention, enantioselectivity, and resolution factors obtained in 100% ACN were compared with those in an n‐hexane‐isopropanol eluent with a small amount of water by normal phase (NP) CEC. Much shorter retention times with comparable enantioselectivities were observed with 100% ACN, demonstrating the advantage of separation on (S)‐N‐(DNB)leucine‐N‐phenyl‐N‐propylamine‐bonded silica in PO‐CEC over NP‐CEC.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of unusual amino acid enantiomers derivatized with (1S,2S)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propyl-isothiocyanate

Summary A new chiral derivatizing agent (CDA), (1S,2S)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propylisothiocyanate, (S,S)-DANI, was applied to the separation of the enantiomers of unusual amino acids containing two chiral centers. Different β-methyl-α-amino acids (β-MePhe, β-MeTyr and β-MeTrp) and β-amino acids with cycloalkane skeletons (2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid and 2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid) were derivatized and the thiourea derivatives produced were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The applicability of this new CDA in the separation of unusual amino acids is demonstrated. The four stereoisomers of the investigated amino acids (except β-MePhe) could be separated in one chromatographic run.

Cloning of poly(aspartic acid) (PAA) hydrolase-1 gene from Pedobacter sp. KP-2 and hydrolysis of thermally synthesized PAA by its gene product

Pedobacter sp. KP-2 can degrade and metabolize thermally synthesized alpha,beta-poly(D,L-aspartic acid) (tPAA), which contains 70% of unnatural beta-amide units, with high-molecular-weight. In this study, gene cloning and molecular characterization of PAA hydrolase-1 from KP-2 was carried out. Gene analysis reveals that deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme shows a similarity to only that of PAA hydrolase-1 from Sphingomonas sp. KT-1. GPC and NMR analyses of the hydrolyzed products of tPAA by PAA hydrolase-1 of KP-2 indicate that this enzyme cleaves the beta-beta amide linkage via endo-mode to yield oligo(aspartic acid) from tPAA. Taking the composition of tPAA and the substrate specificity of PAA hydrolase-1 into consideration, the enzyme possibly plays a crucial role in tPAA biodegradation by KP-2.
