Chiral NMR discrimination of amines: Analysis of secondary, tertiary, and prochiral amines using (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid,

Abstract Enantiomeric discrimination is observed in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of secondary and tertiary amines in the presence of (,)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (1). Nonequivalence of the resonances of prochiral nuclei in primary and secondary amines is also observed when they associate with 1. The amines are added in their neutral form and are protonated by the carboxylic acid groups of 1 to produce the corresponding ammonium and carboxylate ions. Secondary amines associate with 1 through two hydrogen bonds and an ion pair interaction. Tertiary amines can only form one hydrogen bond to accompany the ion pairing. Chiral discrimination in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of a series of aryl-containing secondary amines is of sufficient magnitude to determine enantiomeric purities. The discrimination in the spectra of tertiary amines with 1 is smaller, but 13C NMR spectra provided enough distinction for the determination of enantiomeric purity.

Asymmetric Activation/Deactivation of Racemic Ru Catalysts for Highly Enantioselective Hydrogenation Irrespective of Ketonic Substrates: Molecular Design of Dimethylbinaphthylamine for Enantiomeric Catalysts Discrimination

Abstract Asymmetric activation and deactivation of racemic catalysts are two extremes in asymmetric catalysis. In a combination of these two protocols, higher enantioselectivity can be achieved by maximizing the difference in catalytic activity between the enantiomers of racemic catalysts through selective activation and deactivation of enantiomeric catalysts. 3,3,-Dimethyl-2,2,-diamino-1,1,-binaphthyl (DM-DABN) is thus designed as a chiral poison (deactivator) for complete enantiomer resolution of racemic BINAP-Ru(II) catalysts. The catalyst system of DM-DABN, 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN), and racemic BINAP-Ru(II) led to great success in highly enantioselective hydrogenation irrespective of the ketonic substrates. The lower catalytic activity of the BINAP-Ru(II)/DM-DABN complex stems from the electron delocalization from the Ru center to the diamine moiety in contrast to the BINAP-Ru(II)/DPEN complex where the highest electron densities are localized on the Ru-N region. The present ,asymmetric activation/deactivation protocol' can provide a guiding principle for the rational design of a molecule for enantiomeric discrimination between racemic catalysts. [source]


Comparison of HPLC enantioseparation of substituted binaphthyls on CD-, polysaccharide- and synthetic polymer-based chiral stationary phases

Abstract Retention and enantioseparation behavior of ten 2,2,-disubstituted or 2,3,2,-trisubstituted 1,1,-binaphthyls and 8,3,-disubstituted 1,2,-binaphthyls, which are used as catalysts in asymmetric synthesis, was investigated on eight chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on ,-CD, polysaccharides (tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) cellulose or amylose CSPs) and new synthetic polymers (trans -1,2-diamino-cyclohexane, trans -1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and trans -9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-(11S,12S)-11,12-dicarboxylic acid CSPs). Normal-, reversed-phase and polar-organic separation modes were employed. The effect of the mobile phase composition was examined. The enantiomeric separation of binaphthyl derivatives, which possess quite similar structures, was possible in different enantioselective environments. The substituents and their positions on the binaphthyl skeleton affect their properties and, as a consequence, the separation system suitable for their enantioseparation. In general, the presence of ionizable groups on the binaphthyl skeleton, substitution with non-identical groups and a chiral axis in the 1,2, position had the greatest impact on the enantiomeric discrimination. The 8,3,-disubstituted 1,2,-binaphthyl derivatives were the most easily separated compounds in several separation systems. From all the chiral stationary phases tested, cellulose-based columns were shown to be the most convenient for enantioseparation of the studied analytes. However, the polymeric CSPs with their complementary behavior provided good enantioselective environments for some derivatives that could be hardly separated in any other chromatographic system.

An NMR tool for cyclodextrin selection in enantiomeric resolution by high-performance liquid chromatography

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2002
Antonio Laverde Jr
Abstract Complexation-induced chemical shifts and diffusion coefficients (HR-DOSY) of enantiomers with native and derivatized cyclodextrins were used for calculations of the apparent binding constants of three cyclohexanone inclusion complexes. Correlations between these data and high-performance liquid chromatography were established, revealing that this approach can be applied as an alternative method to predict enantiomeric discrimination.
