Gas Chromatographic Separation of Enantiomers on Cyclodextrin Derivatives

In investigations concerned with the phenomenon of molecular chirality, the use of gas chromatography for the enantiomeric analysis of stable, volatile compounds is a technique of steadily growing importance. ^[1] In the last three years an important breakthrough in gas-chro-matographic separation of enantiomers has been achieved by using alkylated cyclodextrins (α, β, and γ) as chiral stationary phases in high-resolution capillary columns. In academic and commercial practice two different and complementary strategies have been adopted up to now. In the first, alkylated cyclodextrins are diluted with polysiloxanes and coated on glass or fused silica capillary columns. In the second, lipophilic per-n-pentylcyclodextrins and hydrophilic di-n-pentyl- and hydroxyalkylpermethylcyclodextrins are coated directly in the form of liquid phases onto suitably pretreated glass or fused silica surfaces. These techniques permit enantiomer separations not only for polar diols and alcohols, derivatized hydroxycarboxylic acids, amino acids, sugars, and alkyl halides, but also for nonpolar alkenes, cyclic saturated hydrocarbons, and metal π complexes. An important aspect for practical applications is that in many cases the enantiomers can be separated without previous derivatization. Whereas the resolution of racemates of unfunctionalized hydrocarbons is attributed to an enantioselective host–guest inclusion complex, some observations indicate that for polar guest molecules additional enantioselective interactions are also involved. The new chiral stationary phases can be used over a wide range of temperatures (25 to 250°C). The technique described is likely to become widely adopted as a simple, accurate and highly sensitive method for the enantiomeric analysis of chiral compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. It will also stimulate future research aimed at finding universal cyclodextrin phases and elucidating the mechanisms of enantioselectivity.     

Pheromones in Nanogram Quantities: Structure Determination by Combined Microchemical and Gas Chromatographic Methods [New Analytical Methods (35)]

What can a chemist do with a few nanograms of valuable organic substance, pure or impure? The answer may be, a great deal. Its components may be quantified, separated, isolated, degraded, derivatized, extracted by solvent partition, as well as the more obvious recording of their mass spectra. Provided a substance is not contaminated by large quantities of solvent, manipulations are possible without much loss or dilution. Necessity is the mother of invention. The examples given in this review show what can be accomplished today in nanochemistry and should act as a stimulus to direct the scientist to discover other applications appropriate to his needs and his circumstances. The examples are largely taken from the field of insect chemistry, but their general applicability is emphasized. This review illustrates how gas chromatography and reaction gas chromatography, alone or combined with mass spectrometry are potent tools in the hands of the chemist to deduce the unique structure of volatile organic substances available only in nanogram quantities.     

Chromatographic Resolution of Racemates. New analytical methods (17)

A number of racemates can be resolved into optically pure enantiomers by chromatography on optically active adsorbents. Synthetic polymers with optically active amide, amino acid, and crown ether groups, natural products such as starch and cellulose, and also microcrystalline triacetylcellulose are suitable for this purpose. Racemates can also be resolved by gas chromatography on optically active stationary phases.

Chiral Resolution of the Enantiomers of New Aromatase Inhibitors by Liquid Chromatography on Amylose Stationary Phases

Analytical HPLC methods for derivatized amylose chiral stationary phases were developed for the direct enantioseparation of substituted [1-(imidazo-1-yl)-1-phenylmethyl)] benzothiazolinone and benzoxazolinone derivatives with one stereogenic center. These analogues of fadrozole constitute new potent nonsteroidal inhibitors of aromatase (P450 arom.). The separations were made using normal phase methodology with mobile phase consisting of n-hexane-alcohol (ethanol, 1-propanol or 2-propanol) in various proportions, and a silica-based amylose tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (Chiralpak AD), or tris-(S)-1-phenylethylcarbamate (Chiralpak AS). The effects of concentration of various aliphatic alcohols in the mobile phase were studied. Baseline separation (R_s > 1.5) was easily obtained in all cases, ethanol being often the more interesting modifier. The effects of structural features of the solutes along with the temperature of the column on the discrimination between the enantiomers were examined for different mobile phase compositions.     

Polysaccharide Derivatives for Chromatographic Separation of Enantiomers

The first resolution of enantiomers was performed 150 years ago–mechanically. Today a powerful method for carrying out this task is HPLC on polysaccharide derivatives as chiral stationary phases. Most racemates, from an analytical to a preparative scale, now appear to be resolved by this technique. As an example, the chromatogram for the enantiomeric resolution of a fullerene derivative is shown on the right.

Dual Fiber-In-capillary Annular Column with Ternary Stationary Phase for Gas Chromatographic Separation

In the present work a novel strategy for improving and/or tuning the selectivity of gas chromatographic (GC) separation by combining three different stationary phases (SPs) without premixing was introduced. A fused silica fiber coated with polydimethylsiloxane (SE30) and another coated with cyanopropylphenylmethylpolysiloxane (OV1701) were serially inserted into an 8-m polyethylene glycol 20 M (PEG20M) capillary column to form a GC annular column with ternary SP, abbreviating as SE30-OV1701-CF/PEG20M-CC. The separation capability of this ternary SP annular column was compared with a SE30-coated fiber-in-PEG20M-coated capillary annular column and a PEG20M-coated open tubular column by a test mixture of 19 organic compounds. Among these three columns, SE30-OV1701-CF/PEG20M-CC produced the best separation when the SE30-coated fiber and OV1701-coated fiber was 3 and 5 m, respectively. Selectivity can be easily tuned by changing the length of the SP-coated fibers in the ternary SP annular column. The proposed ternary SP annular column shows additional tunability, thus making it a promising tool for separation of organic solvents that are often used in the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical formulations and lacquer thinners.

Separation of Enantiomers of Isochromene Derivatives by HPLC Using Cyclodextrin-Based Stationary Phases

Twenty chiral isochromene derivatives have been chromatographed on native and derivatized cyclodextrin stationary phases using HPLC. The most effective CSPs for the enantioresolution of these analytes in the reverse phase mode are the hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond RSP), the 2,3-dimethyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DM), and the -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond II) stationary phases. The -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond III), -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond I), acetyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond AC), S-1-naphthylethyl carbamate--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond SN), and 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DMP) stationary phases also show enantioselectivities for some analytes. No enantioseparations were observed in the polar organic mode and only a few separations were found in the normal phase mode. The Cyclobond RSP CSP provided the best overall separations of these analytes in the reverse phase mode. The pH of the mobile phase and the nature of organic modifiers have little effect on the enantioresolution. The substituents on the isochromene ring greatly affect the chiral recognition.

A Comparative Analytical Study of Two New Liquid Crystals Used as Stationary Phases in GC

The investigation of the analytical properties of two new nematic sulphur-containing liquid crystals 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-azophenyl)-2-butylthio-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Phase I) and 5-(4-(propoxyphenyl)-azophenyl)-2-butyl thio-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Phase II) and which comprise units of 1,3,4-oxadiazole instead of the aromatic cycles, was carried out by gas chromatography using glass capillary columns. For this purpose, many solutes belonging to various families and having different polarities and volatilities were injected. Comparison of the retention data of the studied components has shown that Phase II allowed a better separation than the other phase. The two liquid crystalline materials show a good separation of the studied isomers except for xylene.     

High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) of Proteins [New Analytical Methods (29)]

The application of high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to proteins has undergone a dramatic development in recent years. Nowadays its many variants expand the repertoire of high-performance analysis methods available to the protein chemist, which, until now, have been dominated by electrophoretic techniques. The advent of gene technology has resulted in a renaissance of protein chemistry. The new analytical and preparative problems that have thereby emerged are often ideally solved by HPLC methods. HPLC has long since ceased to be solely a laboratory technique; HPLC systems are now being developed for the separation of proteins–particularly those of great pharmaceutical interest – on a 100-g scale. The range of applications of analytical and preparative HPLC will be illustrated by two examples of pharmaceutical importance—insulin and interleukin 2.     

Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatographic Separation, on Cellulose Chiral Stationary Phases, of the Stereoisomers of Methoxytetra-hydronaphthalene Derivatives, New Agonist and Antagonist Ligands for Melatonin Receptors

A stereoselective high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been established for chiral separation of melatoninergic derivatives with one or two chiral centers, new agonist and antagonist ligands for melatonin receptors. Reversed-phase separations were performed on cellulose-based chiral stationary phases—tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OD-RH) or tris-methylbenzoate (Chiralcel OJ-R). Water–modifier (methanol or acetonitrile) mixtures in different proportions were used as mobile phases. The effects of organic mobile-phase modifier concentration, temperature, and compound structure were examined. Baseline separation (R_S > 1.5) was readily obtained for many of the compounds.
