Simultaneous assay of four stereoisomers of diltiazem hydrochloride. Application to in vitro chiral inversion studies

Summary The simultaneous stereospecific assay of four stereoisomers of diltiazem hydrochloride in bulk drug and aqueous solution was developed using HPLC on a Chiralcel OF column. The four isomers were quantitated with good precision by the internal standard method. The chiral inversion of (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride in vitro, stability of its (2S, 3S) configuration in the solid and aqueous states was examined by HPLC. Chiral inversion of (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride was not observed in the solid state, and its (2S, 3S) configuration was stable to heat, humidity and light. Chiral inversion of (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride (2S, 3S) was observed in aqueous solution under UV, but not in aqueous solution stored at 80°C for 5h nor under visible light for 10 h. The (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride (2S, 3S) epimerized to (+)-trans-diltiazem hydrochloride (2R, 3S) with a half-life of 5h in aqueous solution under UV but the reverse chiral inversion of (+)-trans-diltiazem hydrochloride (2R, 3S) to (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride (2S, 3S) was not observed.     

Chiral Phosphino‐ and (Phosphinooxy)‐Substituted N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands and Their Application in Iridium‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation

Enantiomerically pure iridium complexes with phosphino‐ and (phosphinooxy)‐substituted N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized. Investigation of their electronic properties showed a similar trans influence of the phosphino (or phosphinooxy) and the NHC units. The complexes were tested in iridium‐catalyzed hydrogenation. While low conversions were observed with unfunctionalized olefins, the catalysts proved to be suitable for hydrogenation of the α,β‐unsaturated ester 20 , allylic alcohol 21 , and imine 22 . The enantioselectivities were, however, moderate.     

Direct separation of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds by reversed-phase chiral HPLC

Summary Direct separations of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds have been achieved by reversed-phase HPLC on the Chiralcel OD-R, a polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phase; the mobile phase was usually perchlorate solution supplemented with acetonitrile. Resolution of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds was good. The effect of the acetonitrile content of the mobile phase was investigated, and the effect of the structure of the chiral compounds on their behavior on the Chiralcel OD-R column is discussed.     

Enantiomeric separation of amphetamine,methamphetamine and ring substituted amphetamines by means of a β-cyclodextrin-chiral stationary phase

Summary The enantioseparation of amphetamine, methamphetamine and various ring-substituted amphetamines by use of a chiral stationary phase carrying immobilized native -cyclodextrin (-CyD) selectors is reported. The system is evaluated for resolving the specified compounds directly without any derivatization and after derivatization with phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC), naphthyl isothiocyanate (NITC) and 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC). This direct enantioseparation is compared with the features of indirect separation of diasteromeric derivatives after reaction with the optically pure Marfey's reagent employing a simple non-chiral alkyl-silica (RP-8) column. A selection of those methods best suited for each single amphetamine is given.Seventeen different samples of amphetamine, confiscated by the Swedisch police, were analyzed with respect to their enantiomeric composition. Within this set of samples synthesized by the same method no significant deviation from a racemic ratio could be observed.     

PHEMA hydrogels obtained by a novel low-heat curing procedure with a potential for in situ preparation

In this work, we report on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogels obtained by a low heat curing reaction. These materials are suitable for in situ preparation and therefore endowed with a potential for several biomedical applications. The novel procedure adopted involves as the first step the synthesis of a soluble oligomeric PHEMA precursor containing polymerizable functions as side substituents. As the second step, the precursor is dissolved in equal amounts of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and water, to form a viscous but still injectable syrup. A low temperature water soluble initiator is then added. The curing reaction starts promptly and is completed within few minutes. During the entire process the internal temperature never rises above 40 degrees C. Preliminary mechanical characterizations performed on the hydrogels in their water-swollen state and diffusion tests in absorption/desorption experiments clearly indicated that on all respects the novel hydrogels are comparable with conventional PHEMA hydrogels obtained according to literature from HEMA in the presence of divinyl crosslinkers. However, the much shorter curing time combined with the far lower curing temperature endow the new hydrogels with a higher potential in view of specific surgical requirements, and particularly for in situ preparation.

Effect of Mobile Phase pH* on Chromatographic Behaviour in Chiral Ligand-Exchange Thin-Layer Chromatography (CLETLC) of Amino Acid Enantiomers

The enantiomers of some amino acids have been separated on commercial chiral TLC plates in reversed-phase mode. The effect of the pH* of the aqueous-organic mobile phase on the retention and mobility of the enantiomers and on selectivity was investigated. It was shown that for most of the amino acids investigated the highest enantioselectivity was obtained at pH* 3–4 or 6–7. The drift and disturbance of the baseline on the chromatograms were also much smaller at pH* 3–4 and 6–7.     

From chiral and prochiral N-allylpyrroles to stereodefined pyrrole fused architectures: A particular application of the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation

We review our recent results on the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of chiral and prochiral N-allylpyrroles as a synthetic route to stereodefined 5,6-dihydro- and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolizines. The indolizine nucleus at different degrees of unsaturation is a building block of natural and synthetic target compounds; thus new approaches, especially if stereoselective and/or stereospecific, are highly desirable. The construction of the indolizine architectures reported here occurs by formation of a C8-C9 bond through intramolecular cyclization of the 4-pyrrolylbutanal intermediate.
