Effect of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes on Cellulose Phenylcarbamate Chiral Stationary Phases

Single-walled carbon nanotubes（SWNTs） have a high adsorption ability and nanoscale interactions. Cellulose trisphenylcarbamates possess high enantioseparation ability in high-performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）. Single-walled carbon nanotubes mixed with cellulose trisphenylcarbamate are coated on the silica gel as chiral stationary phases and higher enantioseparation factors are obtained. After a single-walled carbon nanotube is linked to the 6-pesition of cellulose 2,3-bisphenylcarbamate, its enantioseparation resolution increases compared to that of the cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. It is the first time that SWNTs have been applied to enantioseparation. The results indicate that the single-walled carbon nanotubes are good promoters of chiral recognition. This method can be used to improve the enantioseparation efficiency of the polysaccharide chiral stationary phases.

This paper presents the enantioseparation using glucose, cellobiose, lactose and raffinose as chiral selector bonded to silica gel via an arm in HPLC. Surprisingly, they also possess high enantioseparation selectivity, may be used in normal-phase and reversed- phase mode, and there is a big chiral discriminating complementary. This work indicates that oligosaccharides could soon become very attractive as a new class of chiral stationary phase for HPLC.

Preparation of new hybrid organic/inorganic polymeric chiral stationary phases for ligand-exchange chromatography

Three new hybrid organic/inorganic polymeric ligand-exchange chiral stationary phases were developed by radical chain transfer reaction and surface grafting on silica gel, and successfully used for the enantioseparations of DL-amino acids and DL-hydroxyl adds. The resolutions were achieved by using water containing 2.0 × 10^-4 mol/L of CuAc2 as a mobile phase, column temperature of 40 ℃, flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and detection at UV 254 nm. The elution order of D-isomer before L-isomer was observed for all DL-amino acids resolved except DL-Pro.

Modification of Chiral Stationary Phases with L-Proline as a Selector for Ligand-exchange Chromatography via Introducing Hydrophobic Groups

Three chiral stationary phases（CSPl, CSP2 and CSP3） for ligand-exchange chromatography were prepared by firstly using dimethylchlorosilane as an endcapping reagent for decreasing residual silanol groups on the surface of silica gel, and then modifying the surface of silica gel with allyl glycidyl ether and alkenes through the hydrosilation reaction, and lastly introducing L-proline as a chiral selector. The enantiomer resolutions of 14 amino acids and 2 hydroxyl acids were completed on the CSPs by using an aqueous solution of Cu（Ac）2 as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and column temperature of 40 ℃ with detection at UV 254 nm. In terms of enantioseleetivity a, column efficiency and resolution Rs, the chromatographic behaviors of the analytes on the CSPs were discussed via comparing them to those on the CSP4 prepared via the reference method. The results show that enantioselectivity a, column efficiency and resolution Rs of the analytes on the CSPs could be improved by using the above modifying method.

Comparison of different polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases for enantioselective resolution of Naftopidil and its derivatives by HPLC

Effective enantioseparation of Naftopidil and its derivatives by HPLC was accomplished using several different polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases（CSPs）.In normal-phase mode,the compounds were eluted on four coated-and two immobilized-columns with the mixture of n-hexane,isopropanol and diethylamine（DEA）.Polysaccharide tris（3,5- dimethylphenyl carbamate） was shown to be the best enantiomer selector.In addition,the immobilized column packed with Chiralpak IA or IB was applied under polar-organic and reversed-phase conditions,both of which exhibited excellent enantioselectivity for Naftopidil and its derivatives.Furthermore,the underlying possible chiral recognition mechanisms were discussed.

Separation of substituted phenylpiperazine derivatives with immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases by supercritical and subcritical fluid chromatography

Six newly synthesized racemic 1-（substituted phenyl）-4-[3-（indole-4-yl-oxy）-2-hydroxypropyl]-piperazine 1-6 were successfully resolved by carbon dioxide supercritical fluid chromatography （SFC） on an analytical scale column packed with immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases （CSPs）. We found that separation on the Chiralpak IA CSP was superior to the other two immobilized CSPs （Chiralpak IB and Chiralpak IC）, and isopropanol （IPA） was a superior modifier compared to the other five solvents including ethanol, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile and dichloromethane. The effects of organic modifier composition, back pressure, and column temperature for enantioseparation of all six compounds were studied. Of the physical parameters studied, modifier composition had the greatest impact on retention. Changing temperature generally had less impact on retention but produced the greatest selectivity changes. The optimum condition was found as follows： Chiralpak IA column, column temperature 35 ~C, back pressure 120 bar, 35% IPA containing 0.1% diethylamine （v/v） in mobile phase, flow rate of mobile phase 3.0 mL/min, UV detection 283 nm. Separation of all six racemic compounds was completed within 10 rain and excellent resolution was obtained. Thus, SFC was found to be the methodology of choice for resolving the enantiomers of this class of compounds.

Preparation and Enantioseparation Property of Chiral Stationary Phases Based on Cellulose Tris(3,5-dimethylbenzoate)——A New Way to Prepare Polysaccharide-coating Type Chiral Stationary Phases

A new method to prepare polysaccharide-coating type chiral stationary phases （CSPs） was developed in this work. As a typical example, naked silica gel was coated by cellulose, which was then derivatized with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride to afford cellulose tris（3,5-dimethylbenzoate）-silica gel （CTDBS） complex. The silanols on CTDBS were end-capped with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane to obtain CSP 1. The amino groups on CSP 1 were further end-capped with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride to give CSP 2. The silanols on CTDBS were end-capped with methyltrimethoxysilane to yield CSP 3. CSPs 1-3 were characterized by FTIR, solid-state 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. The enantioseparation abilities of CSPs 1-3 were evaluated with structurally various chiral analytes. The enantioseparation results demonstrated that the end-capping moieties on CSPs 1 and 2 significantly affected enantioseparation. In addition, the effect of the structures of chiral analytes and end- capping moieties on the retention factors and the resolutions was discussed.

Investigation of Peptoid Chiral Stationary Phases Terminated with N＇-Substituted PhenyI-L-proline/leucine Amide

Eight peptoid chiral stationary phases （CSPs） terminated with N＇substituted phenyl-L-proline or L-leucine amide were prepared and evaluated under normal phase mode. With 59 racemic analytes, we compared the enantio- meric separations on CSPs terminated with p-methylphenyl, p-chlorophenyl and unsubstituted phenyl. For short peptoid selectors containing only one S-N-（1-phenylethyl） glycine （Nspe） unit, the terminal p-methyl substituent did not affect chiral recognition abilities significantly. In L-proline amide terminated CSPs, p-chloro substituent resulted in obviously inferior selectivity while in L-leucine amide terminated CSPs, it worked much better. Longer peptoid selectors containing two more Nspe units generally performed much better than the shorter ones, due to the great contributions of peptoid chain to chiral recognition. Meanwhile, the effects of the terminal substituent on selectivity were found changed on these CSPs. For CSPs terminated with L-leucine amide, the terminal p-chloro substituent in longer selector no longer produced the best recognition ability; the CSP with unsubstituted phenyl instead performed best. Comparison of these peptoid CSPs varied in terminal substituents and chain length was conducted to gain a better understanding of the chiral recognition mechanism of this type CSP and promote the development of more useful CSPs.

High performance liquid chromatographic separation of thirteen drugs collected in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010(Ch.P2010) on cellulose ramification chiral stationary phase

The enantiomers separation of thirteen drugs collected in Ch.P2010 was performed on chiral stationary phase of cellulose ramification (chiralpak OD and chiralpak OJ) by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods, which included ibuprofen (C1), ketoprofen (C2), nitrendipine (C3), nimodipine (C4), felodipine (C5), omeprazole (C6), praziquantel (C7), propranolol hydrochloride (C8), atenolol (C9), sulpiride (C10), clenbuterol hydrochloride (C11), verapamil hydrochloride (C12), and chlorphenamine maleate (C13). The mobile phase consisted of isopropanol and n-hexane. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm and the fiow rate was 0.7 mL/min. The enantiomers separation of these thirteen racemates on chiralpak OD column and chiralpak OJ column was studied, while the effects of proportion of organic additives, alcohol displacer and temperature on the separation were studied. And the mechanism of some of racemates was discussed. The results indicated that thirteen chiral drugs could be separated onchiral stationary phase of cellulose ramification in normal phase chromatographic system. The chromatographic retention and resolution of enantiomers could be adjusted by factors including column temperature and the concentration of alcohol displacer and organic alkaline modifier in mobile phase. It was shown that the resolution was improved with reducing concentration of alcohol displacer. When concentration of organic alkaline modifier was 0.2% (v/v), the resolution and the peak shape were fairly good. Most racemates mentioned above had better resolution at column temperature of 25 1C. When racemates were separated, the temperature should be kept so as to obtain stable separation results.

COVALENTLY BONDING CHIRAL POLYURETHANE ON AMINATED SILICA GEL:A NEW STRATEGY TO PREPARE CHIRAL STATIONARY PHASE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Two polyurethanes of different molecular weights were prepared by the copolymerization of phenyl diisocyanate and diisopropyl tartrate. The polyurethanes having terminal isocyanate groups were reacted with 3-aminopropyl silica gel to afford two chiral stationary phases. The M^- n of the two polyurethanes were 4057 g/mol and 6442 g/mol. The polyurethanes and the corresponding chiral stationary phases were characterized by FT-IR,^1 H NMR and elemental analysis. The loading capacities of the polyurethanes on silica gel were 0.68 mmol units/g and 0.61 mmol units/g, respectively. The separation performance and the influence of additives, triethylamine and trichloroacetic acid, on the separation of chiral compounds were investigated by HPLC. The chiral stationary phase prepared from polyurethane with M^- n of 4057 g/mol demonstrated better enantioseparation capability than that with M^- n of 6442 g/mol. Additionally, it was found that the addition of triethylamine and trichloroacetic acid in the mobile phases significantly improved the enantioseparation for these two chiral stationary phases.

MIL-53-based homochiral metal-organic framework as a stationary phase for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography

Homochiral metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have attracted considerable attention in many fields of research,such as chiral catalysis and chiral chromatography.However,only few homochiral MOFs can be effectively used in capillary electrochromatography(CEC)and their performances are far from adequate.In this study,we successfully synthesized achiral nanocrystalline MIL-53.A facile post-synthetic modification strategy was then implemented to functionalize the product,yielding a homochiral MOF:L-His-NH-MIL-53.This MOF was then employed as a chiral coating in open-tubular CEC mode(OT-CEC),and,as such,it exhibited high enantioselectivities for several racemic drugs.The homochiral MOF and the fabricated capillary coating were systematically characterized using transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy(with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry),Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray diffractometry,thermogravimetric analysis,circular dichroism spectroscopy,Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.This study is expected to provide a new strategy for the design and establishment of MOF-based chiral OT-CEC systems.

Comparative Optical Separation of Racemic Ibuprofen by Using Chiral Stationary Phase

Ibuprofen is widely used as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and produced as racemic mixture. Its pharmacological activity resides only in S-(+)-enantiomer, and R-()-enantiomer is not only inactive but also has many side effects. Thus it is necessary to separate R-enantiomer from racemic ibuprofen. We studied optical separation of racemic Ibuprofen with chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Out of three different chiral stationary phases, which were selected on the basis of structure and availability, two were found to be ef-fective. There was optimum eluent composition for each stationary phase for good resolution in optical separation. Resolution decreased with increase of eluent flow rate, but effect of injection volume on resolution was insignificant at high eluent flow rate.
