Comparison of different heptakis(6-O-alkyldimethylsilyl-2-3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases in capillary GC

Three new β-cyclodextrin derivatives, heptakis(6-O-isopropyldi-methylsilyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin, heptakis(6-O-thexyldi-methylsilyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin, and heptakis(6-O-cy-clohexyldimethyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin (IPDE-β-CD, TXDE-β-CD, and CHDE-β-CD), were synthesized and the enan-tioselectivities of these three CD derivatives and heptakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TBDE-β-CD) were compared for GC separation of a range of chiral test com-pounds. In particular TXDE-β-CD showed much higher enentio-selectivity than TBDE-β-CD. Enentioselectivities of IPDE-β-CD and CHDE-β-CD are somewhat lower than that of TXDE-β-CD and CHDE-β-Cd are somewhat lower than that of TXDE-β-CD. These observations are indicative of significant effects of subtle changes in the structure of the 6-O-substituent on the enantioselec-tivity of the β-CD derivatives. The difference in enantioselectivities of the 6-O-substituted CD derivatives were explained in terms of relative contributions of the effects of hydrophobicity and steric hindrance of the substituent to the inclusion process. CHDE-β-CD showed the lowest enantioselectivity among the threederivatives. It is likely that the unfavorable steric hindrance of the bulky cyclo-hexyl group plays a greater role than the favorable hydrophobicity effect of the cyclohexyl group in the inclusion process in CHDE-β-CD. IPDE-β-CD showed lower selectivity than TXDE-β-CD and TBDE-β-CD. In the case of these CD derivatives having acyclic substituents the relative hydrophobicity of the substituent seems to be a dominant factor affecting the inclusion process. Isopropyl groups factor affecting the inclusion process. Isopropyl groups are less hydrophobic than thexyl and tert-butyl groups.     

2,3-Di-O-pentyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-β-cyclodextrin as a Chiral Stationary Phase in Capillary Gas Chromatography

2,3-Di-O-pentyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-β-cyclodextrin has been evaluated as an enantioselective stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. Experimental results show a good enantioselectivity towards compounds with different functional groups (haloalkanes, alcohols, esters, terpenoids, amino acid derivatives, and heterocycles). Column stability improves mixing the chiral phase with polysiloxane SE-54 (1 : 1).     

Molecular modelling experiments on chiral recognition in GC with specially derivatized cyclodextrins as selectors

The results of gas chromatographic enantiomeric separations of selected non-polar and polar test solutes (limonene and 1-phenylethanol) using two different derivatives of β-cyclodextrin, permethyl-β-CD and 2,3-dimethyl-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-β-CD (PMCD and TBCD) are interpreted in combination with the conclusions from molecular modelling calculations based on docking experiments. A comparison of the two selectors which were used as solution in a polysiloxane matrix (OV 1701) indicated that the less flexible TBCD which is blocked on one side by the bulky tert-butyldimethylsilyl groups seems to possess advantages for certain chiral separations, especially of the non-polar type. The special properties of TBCD as selector are also demonstrated by chiral separations of other compounds.     

Enantiomeric composition of the chiral constituents of essential oils—part 3: Diterpene hydrocarbons

Enantiomeric diterpene hydrocarbons were isolated from different plants and identified by mass spectrometric and NMR investigations. All enantiomeric pairs could be resolved by capillary gas chromatography using either heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pen-tyl)-β-cyclodextrin or heptakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin as chiral stationary phases.     

6-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-dimethyl-α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins,dissolved in polysiloxanes,as chiral selectors for gas chromatography. Influence of selector concentration and polysiloxane matrix polarity on enantioselectivity

The enantioselectivity of three chiral selectors, 6-t-butyldimethyl-silyl-2,3-dimethyl-α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin (TB-α-CD, TB-β-CD, TB-γ-CD), are compared and discussed for a range of chiral test compounds. TB-β-CD in particular offers high enantioselectivity for a variety of chiral compounds and has the special property of excellent solubility in different alkylpolysiloxanes, including the weakly polar variety, because of its weak self-association. To investigate the influence of the polarity of polysiloxane matrices this selector can be used at a wide range of concentrations in the most suitable polysiloxane matrices and at low separation temperatures without impairment of resolution by peak broadening and symmetry distortion.     

Cyclodextrin carbamates as novel chiral stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography

The following carbamate derivatives of cyclodextrins (CDs) were prepared as novel chiral stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography: hexakis(2,6-di-O-pentyl)-α-cyclodextrin hexa(3-n-propyl, 3-isopropyl, and 3-phenylcarbamate), heptakis-(2,6-di-O-pentyl)-β-cyclodextrin hepta(3-n-propyl, 3-isopropyl, and 3-phenylcarbamate), and octakis(2,6-di-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin octa(3-n-propyl, 3-isopropyl, and 3-isopropyl, and 3-phenylcarbamate). Metal capillary columns coated with these stationary phases resolved many kinds of racemic mixture. In general, they were especially effective towards polar compounds such as free alcohols, amines, and epoxides. The types of sample which were effectively resolved depended on the cavity size of the CD: α-CD derivatives were specifically effective toward compounds having linear alkyl chains, and β-CD derivatives toward compounds with phenyl groups. The results indicate that chiral separation with the cyclodextrin carbamates depends on the formation of inclusion complexes and also on the hydrogen-bonding interactions between the samples and the CD carbamates.     

Stereoisomeric flavor compounds,part LVIII: The use of heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin as a chiral stationary phase in flavor analysis

The characteristics of the new chiral stationary phase heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin are outlined and compared with permethyl- and perethyl-β-cyclodextrins.     

Enantioseparation of Tropic Acid and Its Esters by CEKC Using Sulfated β-Cyclodextrin as a Chiral Selector

Capillary electrokinetic chromatography was successfully applied to the enantioseparation of tropic acid and its four alkyl esters (methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl), with the same chiral center, Separation was with sulfated β-cyclodextrin (4%, m/v) containing 20 mM phosphate buffer at pH 3.0 as background electrolyte at 20 °C. The results showed that, besides hydrogen-bonding interactions between these compounds with sulfated β-CD, for tropic acid and its methyl ester the steric hindrance effect was also an important factor. However, for the other esters (ethyl, propyl and butyl), the hydrophobicity effect was higher.

     

Steric Considerations in Supramolecular Inclusion of Modified β-cyclodextrins with Triton X-100 and α-bromonaphthalene

Supramolecular inclusion of modified β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with Triton X-100 (TX) and α-bromonaphthalene (BN) was studied by fluorescence and phosphorescence measurements. Major differences were observed in the magnitude of the apparent stability constants and quenching constants of the inclusion complexes. Methyl substitution on the rims of β-CD increased the binding of TX with β-CD but was unfavorable to the protection of the phenyl group of TX from fluorescence quenching and further accommodation of BN for steric considerations. According to the overall molecular size of β-CD, TX and BN, further inclusion of BN in the cavity of β-CD occupied by TX may force the flexible tert-octyl chain of TX to deform to a greater extent and close packing complexes were obtained. Phosphorescence of BN arising from intermolecular energy transfer between BN and the phenyl group of TX was observed when the phenyl group of TX was irradiated. In the case of heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD, BN failed to penetrate into the cavity because of the steric hindrance of the methyl substituents at the rim of the β-CD cavity.     

Highly efficient NMR enantiodiscrimination of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)-3-methoxypropane,a chiral degradation product of sevoflurane,by heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin

The molecular basis of the efficient enantiodiscrimination of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)-3-methoxypropane, a chiral degradation product of the inhalation anaesthetic sevoflurane, using heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin as chiral selector, has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy. An interaction mechanism is proposed, which highlights the role of the functional groups on the β-cyclodextrin rims in addition to a partial molecular inclusion.     

Enantioseparation of Tropic Acid and Its Esters by CEKC Using Sulfated β-Cyclodextrin as a Chiral Selector

Capillary electrokinetic chromatography was successfully applied to the enantioseparation of tropic acid and its four alkyl esters (methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl), with the same chiral center, Separation was with sulfated β-cyclodextrin (4%, m/v) containing 20 mM phosphate buffer at pH 3.0 as background electrolyte at 20 °C. The results showed that, besides hydrogen-bonding interactions between these compounds with sulfated β-CD, for tropic acid and its methyl ester the steric hindrance effect was also an important factor. However, for the other esters (ethyl, propyl and butyl), the hydrophobicity effect was higher.     

Unique catalytic effect of a cyclodextrin host on photodimerization of coumarin in nonpolar solvents

Heptakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TBDMS-β-CD) formed inclusion complexes with coumarin in benzene and cyclohexane. The inclusion mode of coumarin within the TBDMS-β-CD cavity was different between these solvents. Photodimerization of coumarin in the solvents was remarkably accelerated by the inclusion within the TBDMS-β-CD cavity. In particular, the largest rate increase was observed when 1.0 equiv of TBDMS-β-CD was added to coumarin.     

γ(δ)-Thionolactones – Enantioselective Capillary GC and Sensory Characteristics of Enantiomers

The even numbered γ(δ)-thionolactones (C₆–C₁₂) were investigated, using heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)- and heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin as chiral stationary phases in capillary gas chromatography. The odor characteristics of γ(δ)-thionolactone enantiomers were investigated by enantioselective gas chromatography/olfactometry.     

Stereochemical differentiation and simultaneous analysis of 3-, 4-, and 5-hydroxyalkanoic acids from biopolyesters by multidimensional gas chromatography

The direct enantioselective analysis of 3-, 4-, and 5-hydroxy fatty acids from biological material has been achieved by enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography (enantio-MDGC) with heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)- or (2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin as chiral stationary phase. All the bacteria investigated produced polyesters of enatiomerically pure (R) configured compounds.     

Gas chromatographic separation of chiral organochlorines on modified cyclodextrin phases and results of marine biota samples

Four chiral stationary phases containing modified cyclodextrines diluted in or chemically bonded to a non-chiral phase were used to resolve chiral organochlorine compounds such as α-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH), perdeuterated α-HCH (α-PDHCH), β-and γ-pentachlorocyclohexene (PCCH), oxychlordane, cis-and trans-chlor- dane, cis- and trans-heptachlorepoxide, PCB 95, PCB 132, PCB 149, and Chiral tozaphenes. The elution order was determined by analyzing standards with known enantiomeric excesses. Furthermore, an internal standard was used to even out slight variations in the ratio of peak hights of enantiomers which were determined from injection to injection. None of the chiral stationary phases resolved all chiral organochlorine compounds. However, the β-TBDM(35% heptakis (6-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin in OV 1701) column allowed the separation of all compounds under investigation except for PCB 95 and chiral toxaphenes. Emphasis was placed on the separation of as many as possible enantiomers on a chiral phase by application of one temperature program and with respect to unambiguous quantitation of biological samples such as bludder and liver of marine and terrestrial mammals.     

The HPLC Enantioresolution of Phenyl Isocyanated Amino Acids, Peptides and Amino Alcohols on Cyclodextrin Bonded Phases Using the Acetonitrile-Based Mobile Phase

A variety of amino acids (primary and secondary), peptides and amino alcohols are pre-column phenyl isocyanated in alkaline medium and enantioresolved on the naphthylethylcarbamated β-cyclodextrin (i.e., RN- and SN-β-CD) bonded chiral phases (CSPs) using the acetonitrile-based mobile phase and on a native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) phase for comparison. The resolution is believed to be a result of the hydrogen bonding between the secondary hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrin and the functional groups of analyte and is enhanced as the amino and the carboxyl groups are attached to the stereogenic center of analyte. Also, the enhancement is observed if the steric hindrance between the side-chain group of amino acid and the chiral selector exists. However, the resolution is deteriorated in the case that the side-chain group close to the stereogenic center of amino acid becomes bulky or is capable of forming hydrogen bonding with chiral selector. The aromatic moiety of the tagging reagent not only contributes the retention, but also benefits the resolution in some cases on the RN- and SN-β-CD phases through π-π interaction. The resolution is either not observed or unsatisfactory in the reversed-phase mode.     

Enantiomeric composition of the chiral constituents in essential oils. Part 1: Monoterpene hydrocarbons

Using a dual column gas chromatograph equipped with two capillary columns coated with heptakis(6-O-methyl-2,3-di-O-pentyl)-β-cyclodextrin (6-me-2,3-pe-β-CD) and octakis(6-O-methyl-2,3-di-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin (6-me-2,3-pe-γ-CD), respectively, all important olefinic monoterpene hydrocarbons occurring in essential oils, including α-thujene, α- and β-pinene, camphene, sabinene, α- and β-phellandrene, Δ-3-carene and limonene can be resolved into enantiomers. With the chromatographic system described the characteristic enantiomeric composition of these monoterpene hydrocarbons in essential oils can be determined.

Preparation of a novel cyclodextrin derivative of benzimido-β-cyclodextrin and its enantioseparation performance in HPLC

A novel cyclodextrin (CD) derivative, mono-6-deoxy-benzimide-β-CD (MB-β-CD), in which a rigid substituent was linked to the narrow edge of the CD with a flexible H(2)C-N group, was successfully synthesized through the condensation of mono-6-deoxy-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin and benzaldehyde. To evaluate its enantioseparation abilities and investigate the role of the CD substituents and linkage in chiral recognition, MB-β-CD and mono-6-deoxyphenylimine-β-CD (MP-β-CD) with a rigid linkage were compared in the separation of 36 chiral compounds in a methanol/water mobile phase. The separation results showed that most of the analytes with rigid structures afforded better enantioresolutions on the MP-β-CD (with a rigid linkage) chiral stationary phase (CSP), while better enantioseparations for analytes with flexible structures and big steric hindrance were obtained on the MB-β-CD (with a flexible linkage) CSP. The former exhibited a specificity for the analyte structures, while the latter was more adaptable. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to further understand the discrimination process and the function of the CD side arm.     

Molecular Recognition of Aliphatic Alcohols and Carboxylic Acid by Chromophoric Cyclodextrins

Abstract

Molecular recognition behavior of eight cyclodextrin derivatives, i.e. mono(6-pyridinio-6-deoxy)-α-cyclodextrin (1α), mono(6-pyridinio-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodetrin (1β), mono(6-pyridinio-6-deoxy)-γ-cyclodextrin (1γ), mono[6-(p-picolinio)-6-deoxy]-β-cyclodextrin (2β), mono(6-anilino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin (3β), mono[6-(m-toluidino)-6-deoxy]-β-cyclodextrin (4β), mono[6-O-(8-quinolyl)]-β-cyclodextrin (5β), and novel mono[6-(2-naphthylamino)-6-deoxy]-β-cyclodextrin (6β), with a series of aliphatic alcohols and carboxylic acid has been investigated spectroscopically. Using the appended aromatic group as a spectral probe, spectroflurometric or spectropolarimetric titrations have been performed at 25°C in aqueous phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.20, 0.1 M) to determine the complex stability constants (K_s ) and Gibbs free energy changes (-δG°) for the stoichiometric 1:1 inclusion complexation of cyclodextrin derivatives with the guests. The results obtained demonstrate that the modified cyclodextrins are highly sensitive to the size/shape and hydrophobicity of guest molecules, and particularly 5β gives an excellent molecular selectivity up to 215 for 1-adamantanol/cyclohexanol. The binding ability and selectivity of the modified cyclodextrins (1α, 1β, and 1β-6β) are discussed from the view points of size/shape-fit concept, induced-fit interaction, and the multiple recognition mechanisms.
