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.     

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.     

Preparation of a new crown ether-based chiral stationary phase containing thioester linkage for the liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing thioester linkages was prepared by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to mercaptopropylsilica gel. The chiral recognition ability of the new CSP was found to be greater than that of the previously reported CSP containing amide linkages in the resolution of the various α-amino acids that were tested, except for that of Met, Ser and Thr. In the resolution of racemic amines and amino alcohols, the new CSP was always better than the one containing amide linkages in terms of the separation factors (α) and the resolutions (R_S). Given the identical elution orders on the two CSPs, it was concluded that the chiral recognition mechanism is not affected by the change of the linkage type. In addition, the new CSP was found to be quite stable under the acidic mobile phase conditions that were utilized, indicating that the thioester linkage is useful as a tethering group.     

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.     

Synthesis and mechanistic study of novel π-basic chiral stationary phases derived from tyrosine

Summary This work was a study of novel -basic, chiral stationary phases (CSPs) deriving from tyrosine and bearing two stereogenic centres. These CSPs differ in the nature of the amidic substituent (n-butyl ortert-butyl) and by the configuration of both the chiral centres (S or R). The enantioselectivity and elution order of various 3, 5-dinitrobenzoyl derivatives were studied using liquid and supercritical fluid chromatographic modes. The chromatographic data allowed determination of the influence of the CSP structure (also studied according to factorial designs) and determination of the influence of the solute structure. Chiral recognition mechanisms which are in good agreement with these observations are proposed. Finally, this paper reports the enantiomeric resolution of two compounds of pharmaceutical interest (warfarin and ICI 176334).     

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.     

Resolution of N-acyl-1-naphthylalkylamide on amide and sulfonamide-derived π-acidic chiral stationary phases

Two π-acidic chiral stationary phases (CSP 3, CSP 4) were prepared by connecting the N-3,5-dinitrobenzamide derivative or 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide derivative of (S)-leucinol to silica gel through the carbamate linkage. The CSPs were applied in resolving seven racemic N-acyl-1-naphthylaminoalkanes by chiral HPLC, and the chromatographic resolution results were compared. From the comparison of the resolution results of the two CSPs, the role of amide and sulfonamide group in each chiral selector of CSP 3 and CSP 4 and an iso-butyl and phenyl group on the chiral center of each CSP 2 and CSP 3 were explained.     

“Click” immobilized perphenylcarbamated and permethylated cyclodextrin stationary phases for chiral high-performance liquid chromatography application

Two cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phases have been prepared by immobilization of functionalized mono-6-azido-β-CD derivatives to alkynyl modified silica via “click” chemistry and applied to the HPLC enantioseparation of various chiral compounds. The perphenylcarbamated CD CSP (CCP-CSP) exhibited excellent chiral recognition of a wide range of analytes including racemic aryl alcohols, flavonoids, bendroflumethiazide, atropine and some β-blockers. Methanol proved to be a better organic modifier than acetonitrile for most of the analytes with the exception of bendroflumethiazide. The “click” chemistry immobilized permethylated CD CSP (CCM-CSP) afforded poor chiral recognition for most analytes, but could resolve non-aromatic ionone derivatives which were not separated on CCP-CSP. These results suggest that resolution with cyclodextrin derived CSPs depend on a complex interplay of ‘host’–‘guest’ inclusion, hydrogen bonding, π–π and hydrophobic interactions.

Effect of the residual silanol group protection on the liquid chromatographic resolution of α‐amino acids and proton pump inhibitors on a ligand exchange chiral stationary phase

A new ligand exchange chiral stationary phase (new CSP) containing residual silanol group‐protecting n‐octyl groups on the silica surface was prepared by treating a ligand exchange CSP (original CSP) based on sodium N‐[(R)‐2‐hydroxy‐1‐phenylethyl]‐N‐undecylaminoacetate bonded to silica gel with excess n‐octyltriethoxysilane. The new and original CSPs containing an identical amount of chiral selector were applied to the resolution of α‐amino acids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) including omeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole, and rabeprazole. The separation factors (α) and resolutions (R_S) were greater on the new CSP than on the original CSP except for the resolution of asparagine. The trends of the retention factors (k₁) for the resolution of α‐amino acids on the new and original CSPs with the variation of the organic modifier content in aqueous mobile phase were opposite to those for the resolution of PPIs. Removal of the nonenantioselective interactions between the residual silanol groups and the analytes and the improved lipophilicity of the new CSP were proposed to be responsible for the improved chiral recognition ability of the new CSP and the different retention behaviors of the enantiomers between the new and original CSPs.     

Liquid chromatographic resolution of beta-amino acids on CSPs based on optically active (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6

Two chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on optically active (3,3′-diphenyl-1,1′-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6 covalently bonded to silica gel were utilized for the first time for the resolution of racemic β-amino acids using high performance liquid chromatography. All of the 10 β-amino acids tested were resolved on the CSP containing residual silanol-protecting n-octyl groups, while only five β-amino acids were resolved on the CSP containing residual silanol groups. The superiority of the CSP containing residual silanol-protecting n-octyl groups and the characteristic retention behaviors of the two enantiomers on the CSP were rationalized to stem from the removal of the residual silanol groups, which can otherwise induce the non-enantioselective retention of the analytes, and the improved lipophilicity of the CSP. The elution orders of the two enantiomers of β-amino acids were identical on the two CSPs and, consequently, it was concluded that the two CSPs were concluded to utilize identical chiral recognition mechanisms. The different elution orders of the analytes were proposed to be attributed to the presence or absence of π-π interactions between the CSP and analytes.     

Synthesis of novel chiral imidazolium stationary phases and their enantioseparation evaluation by high-performance liquid chromatography

Two novel chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were prepared by bonding chiral imidazoliums on the surface of silica gel. The chiral imidazoles were derivatized from chiral amines, 1-phenylethylamine and 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine. The obtained CSPs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and elemental analysis (EA), demonstrating the bonding densities of CSP 1 and CSP 2 were 0.43 mmol g⁻¹ and 0.40 mmol g⁻¹, respectively. These two CSPs could be used to availably separate 8 pharmaceuticals, 7 mandelic acid/its derivatives, 2 1-phenylethylamine derivatives, 1 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol, and 1 camphorsulfonic acid in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It is found that CSP 1 could effectively enantioseparate most chiral analytes, especially the acidic components, while CSP 2 could enantiorecognize all chiral analytes, although a number of components did not achieve baseline separation. Additionally, the effects of mobile phase composition, mobile phase pH and salt content, chiral selector structures, and analyte structures on the enantiorecognitions of the two CSPs were investigated. It is found that high acetonitrile content in mobile phases was conducive to enantiorecognition. Mobile phase pH and salt content could alter the retention behaviors of different enantiomers of the same chiral compound, resulting in better enantioresolution. Moreover, both chiral selector structures and substituted groups of analytes played a significant role in the separation of chiral solutes.     

Comparison of the chiral resolution on cis-trans isomeric chiral stationary phases derived from (S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine

A pair of cis-trans isomeric chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from (S)-1-(1-naphtyl)ethylamine was prepared. The chromatographic behaviours on both CSPs with regard to the resolution of enantiomeric amino acids, amino alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acid were studied. According to separation factors, the trans-CSP showed better chiral recognition ability for the separation of most analytes chosen in this study. Three homologous series of the alkyl esters of racemic amino acids were resolved on both CSPs using n-hexane-2-propanol and n-hexane-dichloromethane as mobile phases. The trans-CSP also showed better enantioselectivity for the resolution of homologues. A reverse of elution order was observed for the resolution of the homologous series of phenylglycine alkyl esters on both CSPs. It was found that the relationship between the separation factor and the alkyl chain length of the ester homologous series depended upon the components of mobile phase. A higher magnitude of difference between the two CSPs in enantioselectivity for the resolution of a given homologue was obtained when n-hexane-dichloromethane was used as a mobile phase. A chiral recognition process, in which steric repulsion, face-to-face π-π interaction, face-to-edge π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction were involved, was also suggested to describe the separation of enantiomeric homologues on both CSPs. This study clearly indicates that the chiral resolution is influenced by the geometry of the double bond in a CSP.     

Enantiomeric separation in high-performance liquid chromatography using novel β-cyclodextrin derivatives modified by R-configuration groups as chiral stationary phases

Two new chiral stationary phases (CSP) were successfully prepared through bonding β-cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives modified by R-configuration groups (R-CPGCD, R-HMPGCD) to silica gel. Nineteen chiral nitro aromatic alcohol derivatives were separated under the polar organic and the reversed phase modes. Better enantioseparation was obtained in the reversed phase mode. The resolution values of the analytes ranged from 1.98 to 7.57 and from 2.19 to 8.14 on R-CPGCD and R-HMPGCD CSPs, respectively, using a mobile phase composed of methanol/water (v/v, 40/60). Better enantioseparation was obtained on R-HMPGCD CSP than on R-CPGCD CSP because of stronger hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions between the substituents on the cyclodextrin derivatives and the analytes. For different analytes, the increasing electronic density of the benzene ring was found to be favorable to the enantioseparation of the test analytes. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the enantioseparation of analytes was enthalpy-controlled and a lower temperature aided the enantiomeric separation of the solutes on the two CSPs. MD simulations were used to investigate the recognition mechanism between the chiral selectors and the analyte using R-, S-2-naphthalenemethanol and R-CPGCD and R-HMPGCD complexes as examples. S-2-naphthalenemethanol had the stronger interactions with R-CPGCD and R-HMPGCD than the R-isomer. The substituent derivatized on R-CPGCD and the cyclodextrin cavity contributed to the discrimination of the S-isomer, but only the derivatized group on R-HMPGCD was found to play a major role in separating prosess. In addition, the larger free energy deviation of the R- and S-isomers in the R-HMPGCD system brought about a higher resolution value (R_s = 8.14).     

Enantioseparation of Amino Acids on a Chiral Stationary Phase Derived from L‐α‐Norleucinyl‐ and Pyrrolidinyl‐disubstituted Cyanuric Chloride by High‐Performance Liquid Chromatography

A silica‐based chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from L‐α‐norleucinyl‐ and pyrrolidinyl‐disubstituted cyanuric chloride was prepared for the enantioseparation of methyl esters of N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl) amino acids by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The chromatographic results show that effective enantioseparation of methyl esters of N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)amino acids, except for proline, was achieved on this chiral stationary phase. The chromatographic resolution of racemic n‐propyl ester of N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)valine on CSP‐B is better than that of racemic methyl ester of N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)valine on CSP‐B or CSP‐A reported previously (J. Chromatogr. A, 676 (1994) 303). The comparison of the chromatographic results obtained in this study with those on CSP‐A reported previously reveals that steric effect, instead of hydrophobic interaction, between the n‐butyl group attached to the chiral center of the chiral selector and the alkyl group attached to the chiral center of the chiral selectand plays a significant role in chiral discrimination. The increase in the selectivity factor of methyl esters of N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)amino acids with bulky alkyl groups was examined on CSP‐B.

Evaluation and Comparison of a 3,5‐Dimethylphenyl Isocyanate Teicoplanin with Phenyl Isocyanate Teicoplanin Chiral Stationary Phase Using RP‐HPLC

HPLC enantiomeric separations of 8 α‐amino acids were achieved using two self‐made chiral stationary phases (CSP)–phenyl isocyanate teicoplanin (Phe‐TE) and 3,5‐dimethylphenyl isocyanate teicoplanin (DMP‐TE), using reversed phase mobile phases. The Phe‐TE or the DMP‐TE CSP was prepared from the TE using derivative agents, phenyl isocyanate or 3,5‐dimethylphenyl isocyanate, respectively. The chromatographic results were given as the retention, selectivity, resolution factor and the enantioselective free energy difference corresponding to the separation of the two enantiomers. The effect of pH, organic modifier type and amount were discussed, and the stereoselectivities for two TE‐based CSPs were compared. The chiral selectivity factor for six α‐amino acids on DMP‐TE is somewhat bigger than that on Phe‐TE CSP under reversed phase (RP) mode. Comparison of the enantiomeric separations using self‐made Phe‐TE and DMP‐TE was conducted to gain a better understanding of the chiral recognition mechanism of the macrocyclic glycopeptide CSP.     

Novel cinchona alkaloid O9-hydrazide derivatives as chiral anion-exchange-type selectors: Synthesis and chromatographic evaluation

Summary Six new quinine (QN) O₉-hydrazide derivatives with different substituents have been synthesized and immobilized on porous silica gel for HPLC. The chiral resolving power of these anion-exchange-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) has been investigated and compared with that of four carbamate QN derivatives with analogous substitution. The unsubstituted QN-hydrazide derivative was usually the best chiral selector of the hydrazide series. Among the substituted hydrazide derivatives the introduction of a tritylcarbonyl or atert-butylcarbonyl group at the β position of the hydrazide function improved chiral recognition by the resulting CSPs. Although carbamate functionality seemed to favour the resolution of the enantiomers of many of the racemic compounds tested, the hydrazide series resulted in better separations of the enantiomers of the DNP derivatives of amino acids and of certain acidic drugs of therapeutic interest, such as the profens. The selectivity factors of these types of compounds on these QN-hydrazide derivatives are the best yet obtained on QN-derived chiral selectors.

高效液相色谱(HPLC)被广泛认为是分离制备光学纯单一对映体的最有效方法。在高效液相色谱手性拆分中,手性固定相(CSP)的性能直接影响到色谱柱的手性分离能力。在众多手性固定相中,键合型手性固定相具有溶剂耐受性好,分离模式灵活等优点,已经发展成为一类重要的手性固定相。本文通过两步化学反应合成了新型的光学活性丙烯酰胺衍生物--(S)-1-丙烯酰-2-(N-苯基甲酰胺基)吡咯烷((S)-APACP),采用核磁共振氢谱表征了(S)-APACP的化学结构;通过3步化学反应制备了键合型聚丙烯酰胺衍生物手性固定相,采用热重分析法表征了聚合物的键合量,采用HPLC评价了键合型手性固定相的识别能力,分析了影响其手性识别能力的因素。研究结果表明,APACP聚合物成功地键合到硅胶表面制备了具有良好溶剂耐受性的键合型手性固定相,其聚合物键合量为10.2%~11.8%,该键合型手性固定相对若干种对映体显示了较好的手性识别能力。     

Enantioseparation of vesamicol and novel vesamicol analogs by high-performance liquid chromatography on different chiral stationary phases

High-performance liquid chromatography enantioseparation of vesamicol and six novel azaspirovesamicols (amino alcohols) was accomplished on different chiral stationary phases (CSPs) by using an optical rotation based chiral detector for identification of the resolved enantiomers. The Pirkle-type column Reprosil Chiral-NR was found to be most suitable for chiral resolution in normal phase (NP) mode; all compounds could be enantioseparated successfully. Also the cellulose-based column Reprosil Chiral-OM showed appropriate separation properties by using NP conditions. The amylose-type column Reprosil Chiral-AM-RP was most suitable for enantioseparation in reversed phase (RP) mode; five out of seven compounds were resolved. This CSP showed a considerably higher capability for chiral recognition of vesamicol derivatives in RP mode than the corresponding cellulose-based column Reprosil Chiral-OM-RP. Enantioseparation with the teicoplanin aglycone-based column Reprosil Chiral-AA was successful under polar ionic mobile phase conditions.
