Dynamic helicity control of single-helical oligooxime metal complexes by coordination of chiral carboxylate ions

Helicity of single-helical metal complexes, [L¹Zn₃La]³⁺ and [L²Zn₂La]³⁺, was dynamically controlled by coordination of chiral carboxylate ions such as mandelate ion. Spectroscopic investigation indicated that two chiral carboxylate ions contribute to the dynamic helicity control. In addition, the coordination of the carboxylate ions resulted in a nonlinear response in the dynamic helicity control.     

Efficient and selective hydration of nitriles to amides in aqueous systems with Ru(II)-phosphaurotropine catalysts

A simple and efficient synthesis of amides by selective hydration of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles is described. The catalysts are prepared in situ from easily available Ru-precursors and ligands using water as the solvent. The most active catalyst, is obtained from [RuCl₂(dmso)₄] and benzylated 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane. Of the 16 substrates examined, 92–99% conversions of 14 nitriles were achieved in one hour at reflux temperature.     

Enantiopurity analysis of new types of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates by capillary electrophoresis with cyclodextrins as chiral selectors

CE methods have been developed for the chiral analysis of new types of six acyclic nucleoside phosphonates, nucleotide analogs bearing [(3‐hydroxypropan‐2‐yl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl]phosphonic acid, 2‐[(diisopropoxyphosphonyl)methoxy]propanoic acid, or 2?(phosphonomethoxy)propanoic acid moieties attached to adenine, guanine, 2,6‐diaminopurine, uracil, and 5‐bromouracil nucleobases, using neutral and cationic cyclodextrins as chiral selectors. With the exception of the 5‐bromouracil‐derived acyclic nucleoside phosphonate with a 2‐(phosphonomethoxy)propanoic acid side chain, the R and S enantiomers of the other five acyclic nucleoside phosphonates were successfully separated with sufficient resolutions, 1.51–2.94, within a reasonable time, 13–28 min, by CE in alkaline BGEs (50 mM sodium tetraborate adjusted with NaOH to pH 9.60, 9.85, and 10.30, respectively) containing 20 mg/mL β‐cyclodextrin as the chiral selector. A baseline separation of the R and S enantiomers of the 5‐bromouracil‐derived acyclic nucleoside phosphonate with 2‐(phosphonomethoxy)propanoic acid side chain was achieved within a short time of 7 min by CE in an acidic BGE (20:40 mM Tris/phosphate, pH 2.20) using 60 mg/mL quaternary ammonium β‐cyclodextrin chiral selector. The developed methods were applied for the assessment of the enantiomeric purity of the above acyclic nucleoside phosphonates. The preparations of all these compounds were found to be synthesized in pure enantiomeric forms. Using UV absorption detection at 206 nm, their concentration detection limits were in the low micromolar range.     

Enantioseparation of selected chiral sulfoxides in high‐performance liquid chromatography with polysaccharide‐based chiral selectors in polar organic mobile phases with emphasis on enantiomer elution order

The separation of the enantiomers of 17 chiral sulfoxides was studied on polysaccharide‐based chiral columns in polar organic mobile phases. Enantiomer elution order (EEO) was the primary objective in this study. Two of the six chiral columns, especially those based on amylose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) and cellulose tris(4‐chloro‐3‐methylphenylcarbamate) (Lux Cellulose‐4) proved to be most successful in the separation of the enantiomers of the studied sulfoxides. Interesting examples of EEO reversal were observed depending on the chiral selector or the composition of the mobile phase. For instance, the R‐(+) enantiomer of lansoprazole eluted before the S‐(?) enantiomer on Lux Cellulose‐1 in both methanol or ethanol as the mobile phase, while the elution order was opposite in the same eluents on amylose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) with the S‐(?) enantiomer eluting before the R‐(+) enantiomer. The R‐(+) enantiomer of omeprazole eluted first on Lux Amylose‐2 in methanol but it was second when acetonitrile was used as the mobile phase with the same chiral selector. Several other examples of reversal in EEO were observed in this study. An interesting example of the separation of four stereoisomers of phenaminophos sulfoxide containing chiral sulfur and phosphor atoms is also reported here.     

Enantiomeric separation of oxybutynin by recycling high‐speed counter‐current chromatography with hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin as chiral selector

Recycling high‐speed counter‐current chromatography was successfully applied to the preparative separation of oxybutynin enantiomers. The two‐phase solvent system consisted of n‐hexane, methyl tert‐butyl ether, and 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution (pH = 5.0) with the volume ratio of 6:4:10. Hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin was employed as the chiral selector. The influence of factors on the chiral separation process, including the concentration of chiral selector, the equilibrium temperature, the pH value of the aqueous phase were investigated. Under optimum separation conditions, 15 mg of oxybutynin racemate was separated with the purities of both the enantiomers over 96.5% determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography. Recovery for the target compounds reached 80–82% yielding 6.00 mg of (R)‐oxybutynin and 6.15 mg of (S)‐oxybutynin. Technical details for recycling elution mode were discussed.     

Synthesis of a nano‐sized chiral imprinted polymer and its use as an (S)‐atenolol carrier in the bulk liquid membrane

In this work, nanosized chiral imprinted polymers containing (S)‐atenolol ((S)‐ATN) selective sites were synthesized by using suspension polymerization in silicon oil. (S)‐ATN, methacrylic acid, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were used as enantiomerically pure template, functional monomer, and cross‐linker, respectively. The prepared chiral imprinted polymers were used as the carrier elements in a bulk liquid membrane (BLM). (S)‐ATN transport capability of the chiral imprinted polymers was compared with that of the nonimprinted polymer. It was shown that chiral imprinted polymers could transport (S)‐ATN through the BLM more effectively than (R)‐ATN, whereas no difference in the facilitated transport was observed between (R)‐ATN and (S)‐ATN when using nonimprinted polymer particles as the carrier element in the BLM. A kinetic model was proposed for the transportation of (S)‐ATN through the chiral imprinted polymers based BLM. It was found that the extraction of ATN from the source to the membrane controls the chiral separation process. It was also found that the pH of source and receiving phases as well as the racemic ATN concentration in source phase had very crucial effect on the chiral separation efficiency.     

Mono‐6A‐(4‐methoxybutylamino)‐6A‐β‐cyclodextrin as a chiral selector for enantiomeric separation

A new member of the family of methoxylalkylamino monosubstituted β‐cyclodextrins, mono‐6^A‐(4‐methoxybutylamino)‐6^A‐β‐cyclodextrin, has been developed as a chiral selector for enantioseparation in capillary electrophoresis. This amino cyclodextrin exhibited good enantioselectivities for 16 model acidic racemates including three dansyl amino acids at an optimum pH of 6.0. Excellent chiral resolutions over six were obtained for α‐hydroxy acids and 2‐phenoxypropionic acids with 3.0 mM chiral selector. The good chiral recognition for α‐hydroxyl acids was attributed to inclusion complexation, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen‐bonding‐enhanced chiral recognition was revealed by NMR spectroscopy. The chiral separation of acidic racemates was further improved with the addition of methanol (≤10 vol%) as an organic additive.
