Chiral separation on achiral stationary phases with different functionalities using β-cyclodextrin in the mobile phase and application to bioanalysis and coupled columns

Summary -cyclodextrin was used in the mobile phase as chiral selector for separating the enantiomers of terbutaline, chlorthalidone and oxazepam. The effect on chiral resolution using e.g. hydrophobic, polar or cation exchanging stationary phases was investigated. Both the chiral separation factor and retention level were affected by the concentration of methanol and -cyclodextrin. The stationary phase had no effect on the chiral separation only on the level of retention. By tuning the concentration of -cyclodextrin and methanol in the mobile phase chiral separation could be obtained on most stationary phases. By changing the stationary phase while adjusting the mobile phase composition to maintain the chiral selectivity, improvements of the selectivity towards e.g. endogenous compounds can be obtained when separating enantiomers in complex matrixes as biological fluids. Further improvement on selectivity can be obtained if coupled columns are used. This is examplified for separation of chlorthalidone and terbutaline enantiomers in biological fluids by coupling an achiral column to another achiral column and using a mobile phase containing -cyclodextrin on the last column.     

The role of achiral sorbent matrix in chiral recognition of amino acid enantiomers in ligand-exchange chromatography

Summary As an alternative to the known three-point interaction model describing recognition of optical isomers by a chiral resolving agent, a new concept has been developed stating that two interaction points between the resolving agent and the enantiomers are also sufficient for achieving chiral recognition of the latter, provided that the diastereomeric adducts formed by the resolving agent with the enantiomers additionally interact with a non-chiral chromatographic sorbent. This concept is based on the results of ligand-exchange chromatography of -amino acid enantiomers with copper(II) complexes of chiral bifunctional ligands as the resolving agents in chromatographic systems.     

The resolution of some chiral compounds in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography by means of β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes

Summary -Cyclodextrin is applied as the chiral component of the mobile phase in a systematic study of the resolution —into enantiomers — of mandelic acid and its derivatives by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. It is found that the stereoselectivity arising from inclusion in -cyclodextrin molecules is significant (=1.02÷1.05) only for the compounds showing at the asymmetric carbon atom the presence of first, an intact carboxylic group and second, a functional group capable of hydrogen bonding with the hydroxyl groups of -cyclodextrin. Results are discussed in the light of the three-point attachment model of stereoselectivity as well as of the structure of the inclusion complexes.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Liquid chromatographie separation of penicillamine enantiomers derivatized with OPA/2-ME on aβ-cyclodextrin bonded phase

A high performance liquid Chromatographic method has been developed for the resolution of penicillamine enantiomers on a -cyclodextrin (-CD) column. Fluorogenic derivatives of the D,L-penicillamine were first formed by usingo-phthaldehyde/2-mercaptoethanol (OPA/2-ME) as derivatizating reagent. These chiral derivatives were then chromatographed on a commercially available chiral stationary phase of -CD with 50/50 ethanol/1% triethylammonium acetate (pH 4.5) as a mobile phase, and detected fluorimetrically at 450 nm (_ex = 355 nm). After careful optimization of the classical Chromatographic parameters good resolution was achieved between the d and l enantiomers. The method proposed here is simple and rapid and can detect the presence of 0.5% of the L-enantiomer in D-penicillamine pharmaceutical preparations (tablets).

Thermal decomposition kinetics of vanillidene anthranilic acid complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

The thermal decomposition of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of the Schiff base vanillidene anthranilic acid was studied by TG. The chelates show somewhat similar TG plots when heated in an atmosphere of air. Thermoanalytical data (TG and DTG) of these chelates are presented in this communication. Interpretation and mathematical analysis of these data and evaluation of order of reaction, the energy and entropy of activation based on the differential method employing the Freeman-Carroll equation, the integral method using Coats-Redfern equation and the approximation method using the Horowitz-Metzger equation are also given. On the basis of experimental findings in the present course of studies, it is concluded that the relative thermal stability of vanillidene anthranilic acid chelates can be aligned as Co(II)Ni(II)>Zn(II)>Cu(II).

Thermal investigation of the phase composition of poly(ethylene terephthalate). Analysis of different methods of determination of the degree of crystallinity of partially crystalline substances

The literature data on the degree of crystallinity of non-deformed poly(ethylene terephthalate) measured at various temperatures have been subjected to comparative analysis. There is no correlation between the results obtained by the different methods. The reason for this is shown to be the imperfections in the methods of determining the degree of crystallinity, which do not provide the true composition of the crystalline phase. Consideration has been paid to the validity of the main principles involved in the thermal method of determining the degree of crystallinity, so as to eliminate the imperfections in the existing methods and to provide the correct value of the mass of the crystalline phase. The phase composition of PET has been analyzed by the thermal method at different temperatures and conditions of crystallization. A marked difference from the literature data is observed in the range of low temperatures.

Zusammenfassung Eine vergleichende Analyse der Literaturangaben bezüglich des bei verschiedenen Temperaturen gemessenen Kristallisationsgrades von nicht-deformiertem Poly(äthylen-terephthalat) wurde durchgeführt. Zwischen den mit verschiedenen Methoden erhaltenen Ergebnissen besteht keine Korrelation. Es wurde gezeigt, daß der Grund hierfür in der Unvollkommenheit der Methoden zur Bestimmung des Kristallisationsgrades liegt, da diese nicht die wahre Zusammensetzung der Kristallinen Phase angeben. Die Gültigkeit der wichtigsten Prinzipien, welche die thermische Bestimmung des Kristallisationsgrades unter Ausschaltung der Unvollkommenheit der bestehenden Methoden gewährleisten und den richtigen Wert der Masse der kristallinen Phase angeben, wurden in Erwägung gezogen. Die Analyse der Phasenzusammensetzung von PET wurde durch die thermische Methode bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und Kristallisationsbedingungen durchgeführt. Ein deutlicher Unterschied zu den Literaturangaben kann im Bereich der niedrigen Temperaturen beobachtet werden.

Zeolite content determination in kaolinic clays via thermal effects

For application in catalysis and adsorption processes, zeolites are synthesized on the surface of spray-dried kaolin microspheres. Various thermal effects are used for the rapid characterization of the zeolite type and content. From DTA measurements, the exothermic lattice break-down peak gives information on the zeolite type and the thermal stability of the sample. Measurements of the heats of immersion by a very simple and quick method allow conclusions about the type and the sorption properties of the zeolite part of the clay. The most precise method to estimate the zeolite content was a standardized technique of desorption and readsorption of water or organic compounds by means of a thermobalance.

Zusammenfassung Zur Anwendung in der Katalyse und bei Adsorptinsprozessen werden Zeolithe auf der Oberfläche sprüh-getrockneter Kaolin-Mikrokugeln eingesetzt. Verschiedene thermische Effekte werden zur schnellen Charakterisierung des Zeolith-Typs und -Gehalts genutzt. Der exotherme DTA-peak beim Gitterzusammenbruch liefert Informationen über Zeolith-Typ und thermische Stabilität der Probe. Eine sehr einfache Schnellmethode zur Messung der Immersionswärmen erlaubt Schlussfolgerungen über Typ und Sorptionseigenschaften des zeolithischen Anteils des Tons. Die genaueste Methode zur Bewertung des Zeolithgehalts war eine standardisierte thermogravimetrische Desorptions- und Readsorptions-Methode mit Wasser oder organiscen Verbindungen.

Kinetics and mechanism of elimination of methoxyphenethyl chlorides in the gas phase

The kinetics for the gas phase elimination of o-and m-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chlorides have been investigated over the temperature range of 390-464°C and pressure range of 38–119 Torr. The reactions in seasoned vessels and in the presence of the free radical inhibitor propene, are homogeneous and unimolecular and follow a first-order rate law. The o-anisyl and p-anisyl substituents at the -position of ethyl chloride assist anchimerically the elimination processes. The formation of a cyclic product, benzodihydrofuran, from o-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chloride suggests an intimate ion pair mechanism operating in this reaction.

Recent progress in numerical methods for the determination of thermokinetics

The results of a multinational concerted programme on the determination of thermokinetics are presented. The purpose of the programme was to compare different numerical methods which have been independently proposed for the determination of thermokinetics from experimental calorimetric data. To achieve this end, the same experimental data, obtained from two heat-flow calorimeters, were distributed and successively analyzed by the different methods. Numerical methods based on the state function theory, on Fourier transform analysis, on dynamic optimization and on a simple differentiation of the data were thus critically tested.

Thermogravimetric changes influenced by the compaction of graphite-CrO3 intercalation compounds

The changes resulting from the compression of graphite-CrO₃ intercalation compounds are demonstrated in the TG curves. In comparison with the samples examined in the form of a flake bed, the compacted compounds begin to decompose at lower temperatures and their weight loss is higher, particularly above 220 °C. To explain the obtained results, the pressure-induced changes in the structures and the activities of the compounds are considered in relation to the method of intercalation, the concentration of the intercalant and the extent of exfoliation.

Zusammenfassung Anhand von TG-Kurven wurden Veränderungen demonstriert, die durch das Verdichten von Graphit-CrO₃-Einlagerungsverbindungen hervorgerufen werden. Im Vergleich zu Proben, untersucht in Form von Flocken, beginnen die kompakten Verbindungen sich bei niedrigeren Temperaturen zu zersetzen und zeigen einen grösseren Masseverlust, insbesondere beim Überschreiten von 220 °C. Zur Deutung der erhaltenen Ergebnisse wurden die druckverursachten Veränderungen in Hinsicht auf das Verfahren der Einlagerung, die Einlagerungskonzentration und auf das Ausmass der Abbröckelung in Betracht gezogen.
