Synthesis and chiral recognition of novel amylose derivatives containing regioselectively benzoate and phenylcarbamate groups

A new class of regioselectively substituted amylose derivatives bearing three different substituents at 2-, 3- and 6-positions, and two different substituents at 2-position and 3-, 6-positions were synthesized by a sequential process based on the esterification of 2-position of a glucose unit. Their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Each derivative had its own characteristic recognition ability depending on the arrangement of side chains at the three positions. Among the derivatives, amylose 2-(4-t-butylbenzoate) and amylose 2-(4-chlorobenzoate) series exhibited high chiral recognition. Some racemates can be efficiently separated on these derivatives as well as on the amylose tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate, which is commercially available as Chiralpak AD and one of the most powerful CSPs. The structures of the amylose derivatives were also investigated by circular dichroism spectroscopy.     

On- and off column enantiomerization of 4,4′-bisquinolin-2-ones: A comparison of Auto-, DHPLcy2k and DCXplorer calculated thermodynamic data generated by dynamic high,performance liquid chromatography with theoretically calculated data

Fast semipreparative HPLC enantioseparation of four axially chiral biscarbostyrils (4,4′-bisquinoline-2-ones) using ULMO as a π-acidic Pirkle type chiral stationary phase leads to two racemizing pairs (1,2; k_obs 1.6 × 10⁻⁴ and 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at 28 °C) and two stable ones (3,4). 3 was stabilized by a crown ether linkage from pos. 6 to 6′, and 4 had sterically demanding bromo substituents in pos. 3 and 3′. On-column generated temperature-dependent chromatograms of 1 and 2 were fitted with Auto-DHPLCy2k and DCXplorer. For cpd 2 both programs delivered similar ΔG values of 90 and 93 kJ/mol, well comparable with the 99 kJ/mol calculated with the B3LYP/6-31G (d) procedure. At temperatures of high conversion DCXplorer delivered inconsistent series of rate constants for the more tailing and less resolved tetramethoxy derivative 1. We connect this problem with an almost impossible halfwidth calculation of tailing peak pairs which are weakly resolved. However, this problem could be observed only in the case of tetramethoxy derivative 1. Stochastic generated data of Auto-DHPLCy2k could be used at a lower percentage of conversion only while the theoretical plate model did not deliver useful data at temperatures of very low conversion but fitted well high conversion chromatogram series of 1 and 2.     

Analysis of the Computational Singular Perturbation Reduction Method for Chemical Kinetics

This article is concerned with the asymptotic accuracy of the Computational Singular Perturbation (CSP) method developed by Lam and Goussis [The CSP method for simplifying kinetics, Int. J. Chem. Kin. 26 (1994) 461–486] to reduce the dimensionality of a system of chemical kinetics equations. The method, which is generally applicable to multiple-time scale problems arising in a broad array of scientific disciplines, exploits the presence of disparate time scales to model the dynamics by an evolution equation on a lower-dimensional slow manifold. In this article it is shown that the successive applications of the CSP algorithm generate, order by order, the asymptotic expansion of a slow manifold. The results are illustrated on the Michaelis–Menten–Henri equations of enzyme kinetics.     

Chiral separation of agricultural fungicides

Fungicides are very important and diverse environmental and agricultural concern species. Their determination in commercial formulations or environmental matrices, requires highly efficient, selective and sensitive methods. A significant number of these chemicals are chiral with the activity residing usually in one of the enantiomers. The different toxicological and degradation behavior observed in many cases for fungicide enantiomers, results in the need to investigate them separately. For this purpose, separation techniques such as GC, HPLC, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and CE have widely been employed although, at present, HPLC still dominates chromatographic chiral analysis of fungicides. This review covers the literature concerning the enantiomeric separation of fungicides usually employed in agriculture grouping the chiral separation methodologies developed for their analysis in environmental, biological, and food samples.     

Multiple secondary interaction arrangement in the crystal structure of cis -dichlorobis(thiourea-S)-zinc(II)

In our series of investigations into the structural and thermal behaviour of metal thiourea (tu) complexes, the single-crystal X-ray structure of dichlorobis(thiourea-S)-zinc(II) is redetermined at higher accuracy to R?=?0.0315 proving the space group Pnma. Half of the complex molecule is in the asymmetric unit, the Zn and the two Cl atoms lie on the mirror plane. The structure analysis shows tetrahedral coordination of the Zn cation, the coordination sphere of the chloride anions and the extended hydrogen bond network. A chloride ligand is situated in the middle of the sandwich formed by bilayers of the complex molecules. We previously characterized the Cd analogue, allowing a structural comparison between the non-isostructural complexes: Mtu₂Cl₂ (M?=?Zn, Cd). Also the thermal properties of the complexes and their behaviour in chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) processes are briefly correlated with the structure and bonding.
