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.     

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.     

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).     

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.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids on a new chiral stationary phase derived from (S)-leucine

Enantiomers of racemic 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids have been resolved as their O-ethoxycarbonyl pi-basic anilide derivatives on a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine N-phenyl N-alkylamide and the resolution results have been compared with those on various commercial pi-acidic CSPs. The resolution results demonstrate that the new CSP derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine N-phenyl N-alkylamide is most effective among the five CSPs tested for the resolution of 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives. In order to elucidate the chiral recognition mechanism exerted by the new CSP, the resolution of slightly differently modified derivatives of 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids on the new CSP has been investigated. Based on the resolution results, a chiral recognition mechanism utilizing three simultaneous interactions such as the face to face pi-pi interaction and the two hydrogen bonding interactions between the CSP and the more retained enantiomer of the analyte has been proposed.

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.     

Preparation and Enantioseparation Property of Chiral Stationary Phases Based on Cellulose Tris(3,5-dimethylbenzoate)——A New Way to Prepare Polysaccharide-coating Type Chiral Stationary Phases

A new method to prepare polysaccharide-coating type chiral stationary phases （CSPs） was developed in this work. As a typical example, naked silica gel was coated by cellulose, which was then derivatized with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride to afford cellulose tris（3,5-dimethylbenzoate）-silica gel （CTDBS） complex. The silanols on CTDBS were end-capped with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane to obtain CSP 1. The amino groups on CSP 1 were further end-capped with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride to give CSP 2. The silanols on CTDBS were end-capped with methyltrimethoxysilane to yield CSP 3. CSPs 1-3 were characterized by FTIR, solid-state 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. The enantioseparation abilities of CSPs 1-3 were evaluated with structurally various chiral analytes. The enantioseparation results demonstrated that the end-capping moieties on CSPs 1 and 2 significantly affected enantioseparation. In addition, the effect of the structures of chiral analytes and end- capping moieties on the retention factors and the resolutions was discussed.     

Effect of the Amide Connecting Tether Type of Pirkle-Concept Chiral Stationary Phases Derived from (S)-N-(3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl)Leucine on Enantiomeric Separations

ABSTRACT

Liquid chromatographic comparisons are made between a secondary amide linked chiral stationary phase (CSP 1) and a tertiary amide double-tethered CSP (CSP 2) derived from (S)-N-3,5-[dinitrobenzoyl(DNB)]leucine. For the enantioseparation of the anilide derivatives of N-9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC), benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ) and t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) protected α-amino acids, CSP 2 shows performance superior to that of CSP 1. It is considered that the amide hydrogen of the connecting tether of CSP 1 serves as a nonproductive adsorption site, while the enhanced basicity of the carbonyl oxygen of the tertiary amide tethered CSP 2 is responsible for the increased enantioselectivity of these analytes. For the same reason, it is observed that CSP 2 provides better separation of the enantiomers of N-CBZ α-amino acids as ethyl ester, n-butylamide and diethylamide derivatives than CSP 1.     

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.     

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.     

Comparison of enantiomer separation on two chiral stationary phases derived from (+)-18-crown-6-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid of the same chiral selector

Liquid chromatographic comparisons for enantiomer resolution of α-amino acids and chiral primary amino compounds were made using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) prepared by covalently bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-TA) of the same chiral selector. The resolution of all α-amino acids on CSP 1 developed in our group was found to be better than that on CSP 2 reported by Machida et al. All α-amino acids examined in this study were well enantioseparated on CSP 1 (α=1.22–2.47), while four analytes were not resolved or all the other analytes were poorly resolved on CSP 2 than on CSP 1. However, in resolving the primary amino compounds without a carbonyl group, CSP 1 was comparable with CSP 2. Although (+)-18-C-6-TA of the same chiral selector was used to prepare CSP 1 and CSP 2, this study showed that different connecting methods for the CSPs might influence their ability to resolve the analytes depending on their structures related to the chiral recognition mechanism.     

Development of novel brush-type chiral stationary phases based on terpenoid selectors: HPLC evaluation and theoretical investigation of enantioselective binding interactions

The terpenoid chiral selectors dehydroabietic acid, 12,14-dinitrodehydroabietic acid and friedelin have been covalently linked to silica gel yielding three chiral stationary phases CSP 1, CSP 2 and CSP 3, respectively. The enantiodiscriminating capability of each one of these phases was evaluated by HPLC with four families of chiral aromatic compounds composed of alcohols, amines, phenylalanine and tryptophan amino acid derivatives and β-lactams. The CSP 3 phase, containing a selector with a large friedelane backbone is particularly suitable for resolving free alcohols and their derivatives bearing fluorine substituents, while CSP 2 with a dehydroabietic architecture is the only phase that efficiently discriminates 1,1′-binaphthol atropisomers. CSP 3 also gives efficient resolution of the free amines. All three phases resolve well the racemates of N-trifluoracetyl and N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl phenylalanine amino acid ester derivatives. Good enantioseparation of β-lactams and N-benzoyl tryptophan amino acid derivatives was achieved on CSP 1.In order to understand the structural factors that govern the chiral molecular recognition ability of these phases, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out in the gas phase with binary diastereomeric complexes formed by the selectors of CSP 1 and CSP 2 and several amino acid derivatives. Decomposition of molecular mechanics energies shows that van der Waals interactions dominate the formation of the diastereomeric transient complexes while the electrostatic binding interactions are primarily responsible for the enantioselective binding of the (R)- and (S)-analytes. Analysis of the hydrogen bonds shows that electrostatic interactions are mainly associated with the formation of N–H⋯OC enantioselective hydrogen bonds between the amide binding sites from the selectors and the carbonyl groups of the analytes. The role of mobile phase polarity, a mixture of n-hexane and propan-2-ol in different ratios, was also evaluated through molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent.     

X-ray Crystallographic Evidence in Support of a Proposed Chiral Recognition Mechanism

A new family of pi-basic chiral selectors has been developed and employed in the separation of enantiomers by liquid chromatography. These chiral selectors, derived from (S)-proline and designed from mechanistic considerations, show high levels of discrimination between the enantiomers of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)amino acid esters and amides. A considerable amount of chromatographic data has been assembled, all of it consistent with the proposed chiral recognition mechanism. Moreover, this mechanism is supported by induced chemical shift differences and intermolecular NOE data previously obtained in solution with an equimolar mixture of (S)-1 and (S)-2. A crystalline 1:1 complex of (S)-1 and (S)-2 has been obtained and analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The structure of this complex in the solid state illustrates the essential features of the mechanism proposed to account for chiral recognition between chiral stationary phase (CSP) 3 and the enantiomers of 2 and related analytes. In addition, the orientation of the two components in the solid state is in close agreement with the structure of the more stable diastereomeric complex deduced from solution-state NMR evidence relating to the same system.     

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).

Direct Chromatographic Resolution of P-Chiral Organophosphorus Compounds at Analytical and Preparative Levels

Abstract

High-performance liquid chromatography utilizing chiral stationary phases (CSPs) is well established as a very simple and efficient method for obtaining discrete amounts of optically active compounds with high e.e., as well as for determining their enantiomeric composition We wish to demonstrate in the present work that a totally synthetic brush-type π-acidic CSP based on a bis(N,N′-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) derivative of (R,R)- or (S,S)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane as selector can be used successfully to resolve variety of chiral organophosphorus compounds containing stereogenic centers at phosphorus     

Preparation and evaluation of a new synthetic polymeric chiral stationary phase for HPLC based on the trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-(11S,12S)-11,12-dicarboxylic acid bis-4-vinylphenylamide monomer

A new synthetic polymeric chiral stationary phase for liquid chromatography was prepared via free-radical-initiated polymerization of trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-(11S,12S)-11,12-dicarboxylic acid bis-4-vinylphenylamide. The new polymeric chiral stationary phase (CSP) showed enantioselectivity for many chiral compounds in multiple mobile phases. High stability and sample capacities were observed on this polymeric chiral stationary phase. Mobile phase components and additives affected chiral separation greatly. This new synthetic chiral stationary phase is complementary to two other related commercially available CSPs: the P-CAP and P-CAP-DP columns. Interactions between the chiral stationary phase and analytes that lead to retention and chiral recognition include hydrogen bonding, dipolar, and π–π interactions. Repulsive (steric) interactions also contribute to chiral recognition.

Multiple dual-mode countercurrent chromatography applied to chiral separations using a (S)-naproxen derivative as chiral selector

Countercurrent chromatography (CCC) is a liquid–liquid chromatographic technique without a solid support. Several alternative elution modes can be applied to take advantage of the special nature of the liquid stationary phase. Among these dual-mode (DM) and multiple dual-mode (MDM) consist of switching alternatively between Reversed and Normal Phase operation during the experiment (once for DM and several times for MDM). In this paper, MDM has been applied to the chiral CCC separations of two racemic mixtures, (±)-N-(3,4-cis-3-decyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenanthren-4-yl)-3,5-dinitrobenzamide and N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-(±)-leucine, using (S)-naproxen N,N-diethylamide as chiral selector (CS). Although the behaviour of the two analytes differed, improved resolution factors were successfully obtained. Results are rationalized on the basis of the distinct partition behaviour of the CS/enantiomer complexes in the biphasic system.     

Chiral recognition and enantiomer assays of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)amino acid derivatives using electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry

A pair of pseudoenantiomers, anilide derivatives of N-pivaloylproline were prepared and used as chiral selectors for enantiomer discrimination of amides or esters of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)amino acids in single-stage electrospray ionization/mass spectrometric experiments. Addition of a chiral analyte to a solution of the two pseudoenantiomeric chiral selectors affords selector–analyte complexes in the electrospray ionization mass spectrum where the ratio of these complexes is dependent on the enantiomeric composition of the analyte. The relationship between the ratio of the selector–analyte complexes in the electrospray ionization mass spectrum and the enantiomeric composition of the analyte can be used to relate the extent of the measured enantioselectivity and for quantitative enantiomeric composition determinations. Effects of the added cationic ions (H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺) and instrument conditions on the selector–analyte ion intensity and the enantioselectivity (α_MS) were investigated. The percent ratio of the sum of the selector–analyte ion counts and the total ion counts decreases accordingly with the increase of the desolvation temperature for H⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺. The ratio for Li⁺ kept almost constant. The best α_MS was observed at a desolvation temperature of 200 °C with the added H⁺. The cone voltage has little effects on the α_MS values though the intensities of selector–analyte complexes are decreased at higher cone voltages. The observed MS enantioselectivities are comparable to the HPLC enantioselectivities and the sense of chiral recognition by MS is consistent with what is observed chromatographically. Quantitative enantiomeric composition determinations for five different samples of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucinyl butylamide at four different concentrations were performed. The average % difference between the HPLC and MS enantiomer determinations is 6.8% and 3.7% for the calibration lines constructed at a concentration of the analyte of 125 μM and 12.5 μM, respectively.
