HPLC enantioresolution of (R,S)-baclofen using three newly synthesized dichloro-s-triazine reagents having amines and five others having amino acids as chiral auxiliaries

Enantioresolution of (R,S)-baclofen was accomplished using a newly synthesized set of three chiral derivatizing reagents (CDRs) having amines [(S)-(-)-α,4-dimethylbenzylamine, (-)-cis-myrtanylamine and (R)-(-)-1-cyclohexylethylamine] as chiral auxiliaries in cyanuric chloride and another set of five CDRs having amino acids (L-Leu, D-Phg, L-Val, L-Met and L-Ala) as chiral auxiliaries. These eight CDRs were used for synthesis of diastereomers of (R,S)-baclofen under microwave irradiation. The diastereomers were separated on a reversed-phase C(18) column using mixtures of methanol with aqueous trifluoroacetic acid with UV detection at 230 nm. Chromatographic data obtained for the two sets of diastereomers were compared among themselves and among the two groups. The method was validated for limit of detection, linearity, accuracy and precision.

Chiral discrimination of primary amines by HPLC after labeling with a chiral derivatization reagent, trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)-cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride

Enantiomeric discrimination of chiral primary amines was performed by both reversed-phase HPLC and normal-phase HPLC after labeling with a chiral fluorescent derivatization reagent, (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride. Use of HPLC permits separation of diastereomeric derivatives of amines up to C30 which have a primary amino group at the middle of the alkyl chain. The derivatives of primary amines having an anteiso alkyl chain, which has a chiral branched-methyl at the n-3 position of the alkyl chain, were also separated by HPLC, and it was also possible to separate niphatesine D by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization.     

Mesogenic properties of chiral compounds derived from 2( S )-[2( S )-ethylhexyloxy] propionic acid and its ( S, R )-diastereomer

Two acids, 2( S )-[2( S )-ethylhexyloxy] propionic acid and 2( S )-[2( R )-ethylhexyloxy] propionic acid, were used as the chiral building block for the preparation of four liquid crystals 5, 6, 7 and 8 . The diastereomers of the biphenyl ring system, 5 and 6 , possess the phase sequence I-N * -SmC * -Cr1-Cr2, while the diastereomers of the naphthalene ring system, 7 and 8 , exhibit the sequence I-SmA-SmC * -Cr. The temperature ranges of the SmC * phase for 5 and 6 are wider than those for 7 and 8 ; the phase transition temperatures of the SmC * phase for 7 and 8 are lower than those for 5 and 6 . In the case of the diastereomers of naphthalene ring system, the larger the size of the lateral substituent at the second chiral centre, i.e. ethyl or methyl group, the wider the temperature range of the SmC * phase.     

Precolumn diastereomerization and micellar electrokinetic chromatography on a plastic microchip: rapid chiral analysis of amino acids

Precolumn derivatization and chiral separation of DL-amino acids based on diastereomerization have been performed on an integrated poly(dimethylsiloxane) microchip. Diastereomeric derivatives were formed in a microfabricated precolumn reactor by the reaction of amino acid enantiomers with o-phthaldialdehyde/2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranose (OPA/TATG), and separated by MEKC in an achiral environment without chiral selectors in the running buffer. Optimized precolumn reactions and chiral separations of amino acids were achieved within 2.5 min. Resolutions of diastereomers of OPA/TATG-amino acids were in the range of 2.5-6.1 at optimized separation conditions. Simultaneous separation of a mixture of five chiral amino acids was successfully performed in a single run in less than 100 s.     

Capillary electrophoresis for diastereomers of (R,S)-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatized with (R)-4-nitro-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole: effect of molecular geometries

Diastereomers derived from (R,S)-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Tic), a potential neurotoxin with a chiral fluorescence tagging reagent, (R)-4-nitro-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-APy), are well resolved by capillary electrophoresis (CE). For a better understanding of the separation mechanism, a semiempirical computational method (i.e., AM1 method) is used to study the molecular geometry, relative energy, and size of the derivatives. The molecular sizes are estimated to be 216.3 and 240.6 cm3/mol for (R)-NBD-APy-(R)-Tic and (R)-NBD-APy-(S)-Tic, respectively. The CE elution order of the diastereomeric derivatives confirms the AM1 computational results: (R)-NBD-APy-(R)-Tic elutes before (R)-NBD-APy-(S)-Tic. The effects of running buffer pH and the addition of a chiral selector, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD), on the separation are studied. In the presence of beta-CD, the migration behavior of the diastereomers is changed because of the formation of CD inclusion complexes. Study of the space-filling models for optimized conformations of the diastereomeric derivatives and beta-CD suggests that the geometries of the diastereomers decides that the diastereomers are incorporated into the CD cavity to form CD inclusion complexes with different volumes. Experimental results from CE separations conclude the same.     

(S)-(+)-1-Methyl-2-(6,7,-dimethoxy-2,3-naphthalimido)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a fluorescence chiral derivatizing reagent for carboxylic acid enantiomers in high-performance liquid chromatography

A new triflate-type fluorescence chiral derivatizing reagent, (S)-(+)-1-methyl-2-(6,7-dimethoxy-2,3-naphthalimido)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, [S-(+)-MDNE-OTf], has been developed for the determination of the enantiomers of carboxylic acids. By introducing the two methoxy groups on the naphthalimido ring moiety, the red shift in the fluorescence spectrum and a high resolution in reversed-mode separation of the diastereomers of chiral carboxylic acids have been achieved. The detection limits (S/N=3) with ultraviolet and fluorescence detection are 8 fmol (λ_max=283 nm) and 4 fmol (λ_ex=283 nm, λ_em=467 nm), respectively.     

Synthesis of fluorescent label, DBD-beta-proline, and the resolution efficiency for chiral amines by reversed-phase chromatography

DBD-d(and l)-beta-proline, new fluorescent chiral derivatization reagents, were synthesized from the reaction of 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7- fl uoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) with beta-proline. The racemic mixture synthesized was separated by a chiral stationary phase (CSP) column, Chiralpak AD-H, with n-hexane-EtOH-TFA-diethylamine (70:30:0.1:0.1) as the mobile phase. The dl-forms were decided according to the results obtained from a circular dichroism (CD) detector after separation by the CSP column. The fractionated enantiomers reacted with chiral amine to produce a couple of diastereomers. The labeling proceeded in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and pyridine as the activation reagents. The reaction conditions were mild and no racemization occurred during the diastereomer formation. The resulting diastereomers fluoresced at around 570 nm (excitation at around 460 nm). Good linearity of the calibration curves was obtained in the range 1-75 pmol and the detection limits on chromatogram were less than 1 pmol. The separability of the diastereomers was compared with the diastereomers derived from DBD-d(or l)-proline. The resolution values (Rs) obtained from the diastereomers of three chiral amines with DBD-d(or l)-beta-proline were higher than those derived from DBD-d(or l)-proline, e.g. dl-phenylalanine methylester (dl-PAME), 2.23 vs 1.37; (R)(S)-1-phenylethylamine [(R)(S)-PEA], 2.09 vs 1.13; and (R)(S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamines [(R)(S)-NEA], 5.19 vs 1.23. The results suggest that the position of COOH group on pyrrolidine moiety in the structures is one of the important factors for the efficient separation of a couple of the diastereomers.     

Synthesis and Analysis of the Sterically Constrained L-Glutamine Analogues (3S,4R)-3,4-Dimethyl-l-glutamine and (3S,4R)-3,4-Dimethyl-l-Pyroglutamic Acid

The nonproteinogenic amino acids (3S,4R)-3,4-Dimethyl-l-pyroglutamic acid and (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-l-glutamine -- found in the cyclic depsipeptides callipeltin B, callipeltin A, and papuamide A -- were synthesized from a common intermediate derived from l-pyroglutamic acid. The diastereoselective introduction of the methyl groups was accomplished by cuprate addition and enolate alkylation, followed by a kinetic epimerization of the C-4 methyl substituent. (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-l-glutamine shows a conformational restriction of its side chain which may be related to its biological function in the natural products where it is found.     

Analytical potential of 6-oxy-(N-succinimidyl acetate)-9-(2'-methoxycarbonyl) fluorescein for the determination of amino compounds by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection

The analytical potential of a fluorescein analogue, 6-oxy-(N-succinimidyl acetate)-9-(2'-methoxycarbonyl) fluorescein (SAMF), for the first time synthesized in our laboratory, as a labeling reagent for the labeling and determination of amino compounds by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection was investigated. Biogenic monoamines and amino acids were chosen as model analytes to evaluate the analytical possibilities of this approach. The derivatization conditions and separation parameters for the biogenic amines were optimized in detail. The derivatization was performed at 30 degrees C for 6 min in boric acid buffer (pH 8.0). The derivatives were baseline-separated in 15 min with 25 mM boric acid running buffer (pH 9.0), containing 24 mM SDS and 12.5% v/v acetonitrile. The concentration detection limit for biogenic amines reaches 8 x 10(-11) mol.L(-1) (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The application of CE in the analysis of the SAMF-derivatized amino acids was also exploited. The optimal running buffer for amino acids suggested that weak acidic background electrolyte offered better separation than the basic one. The proposed method was applied to the determination of biogenic amines in three different beer samples with satisfying recoveries varying from 92.8% to 104.8%. Finally, comparison of several fluorescein-based probes for amino compounds was discussed. With good labeling reaction, excellent photostability, pH-independent fluorescence (pH 4-9), and the resultant widely suited running buffer pH, SAMF has a great prospect in the determination of amino compounds in CE.     

Application of (1S,2S)- and (1R,2R)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propylisothiocyanate to the indirect enantioseparation of racemic proteinogenic amino acids

The reagent is easily accessible in both enantiomeric forms after a simple two-step synthesis. Its applicability was demonstrated on the example of the resolution of a series of alpha-amino acids. The diastereomeric thiourea derivatives produced were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The effects of pH, temperature and reagent excess on the derivatization kinetics were investigated, as were the effects of pH and organic modifier on the separation.

The thiourea diastereomers formed were analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, mixtures of water and methanol or acetonitrile being used for elution. Conditions of derivatizations (temperature, reagent excess and reaction time) were optimized, and the effects of organic modifiers on the retention and separation were investigated; the diastereomers could readily be baseline separated with methanol-containing mobile phases with resolutions between 1.58 and 2.72.

Determination of R-(+)-higenamine enantiomer in Nelumbo nucifera by high-performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescent chiral tagging reagent

A sensitive method for determination of higenamine enantiomers based on a derivatization reaction with a fluorescent chiral tagging reagent, R-(−)/S-(+)-4-(3-isothiocyanatopyrrolidin-1-yl)-7-(N,N-Dimethylaminosulfonyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole[R-(−)/S-(+)-DBD-PyNCS] has been developed. The tagging reagent preferably reacts with higenamine enantiomers under mild reaction conditions (at 60 °C for 60 min) in the presence of 3% pyridine to produce the corresponding fluorescent diastereomers with an excitation maximum at 450 nm and an emission maximum at 550 nm. The derivatives of higenamine enantiomers were efficiently resolved on a ODS column by an isocratic elution with water–acetonitrile–methanol mobile phase containing 0.2% formic acid. The resolution (Rs) values of the corresponding higenamine diastereomers was 1.52. The calibration curves of both R-(+)/S-(−)-higenamine enantiomers were linear over the concentration range of 0.2–400 μg/mL. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) per injection were 20 ng/mL. The developed method was applied successfully to the determination of higenamine in embryo of Nelumbo nucifera, a Chinese herbal medicine.     

A manual sequence method of peptides and phosphopeptides using 4-(1'-cyanoisoindolyl)phenylisothiocyanate

A method for sequence analysis and identification of phosphoamino acids in peptides based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. The peptides were derivatized with an Edman type reagent, 4-(1'-cyanoisoindolyl)phenylisothiocyanate (CIPIC) and subsequently cleaved to generate stable and fluorescent 4-(1'-cyanoisoindolyl)phenylthiazolinone (CIP-TZ)-amino acids. Several experimental factors that affected derivatization on membranes were examined. Under the optimized conditions, the CIP-TZ derivatives of Try(p), Thr(p) and Ser(p) were obtained and separated from their parent amino acids with baseline resolution using an isocratic elution system. Up to the 4th residue of phosphorylated pentapeptides was successfully identified, whereas phosphoamino acid residues could not be detected by the conventional procedure using phenylisothiocyanate (PITC). The results demonstrated the potential of CIPIC as a derivatization reagent for peptide sequencing and the applicability of the method for the study and identification of phosphoamino acids in peptides.     

TLC resolution of enantiomeric mixtures of amino acids

Summary Resolution of enantiomeric mixtures of DL-amino acids (Nine) using silica gel layers impregnated with (-)-bruncine is reported. The solvent system used was Butanol: Acetic acid: Chloroform (3∶1∶4). The diastereomers were formed and hydrolysed, by dilute HCl spray, on the chromatogram only and the amino acids thus resolved were located by ninhydrin spray. The cross resolution possibilities of enantiomers were also calculated.     

Activated carbamate reagent as chiral derivatizing agent for liquid chromatographic optical resolution of enantiomeric amino compounds

Summary A chiral derivatization reagent having activated succinimido carbamate moieties were developed for the optical resolution of enantiomeric amines by high-performance liquid chromatography. Succinimido R-(+)- or S-(–)-1-phenylethyl and R-(+)- or S-(–)-1-(-naphthyl)-ethyl carbamates were synthesized by the reaction of optically active phenylethyl and naphthylethyl amines with discuccinimido carbonate (DSC). These reagents reacted with both primary and secondary amine enantiomers such as amino acids and -amino alcohols to give the corresponding diastereomeric urea derivatives. These diastereomers were efficiently separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and detected by their absorption or the fluorescence of the chromophores. The chiral derivatization procedure was applied to the separation and determination of enantiomeric propranolol in serum.     

Stereochemistry of the methylation of the (11S,4S) and (11S,4R) diastereomers of 4-methyl-1-(α-methylbenzyl)azetidin-2-one

The methylation of the lithium derivatives of the (1¹S,4S) and (1¹S,4R) diastereomers of 4-methyl-1-(-methylbenzyl)azetidin-2-one proceeds stereospecifically with the formation of only trans-(3S,4S)- and trans-(3R,4R)-dimethyl-1-[(S)--methylbenzyl] azetidin-2-one, respectively. The process is accompanied by epimerization at the asymmetric center of the N--methylbenzyl substituent.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 914–920, July, 1990.
