Preparation and chiral recognition ability of crosslinked beads of polysaccharide derivatives

Preparation and application of 3-(methylene-bis(1',4'-phenylene)dicarbamate-2,3-bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-amylose)-2-hydroxylpropoxy-propylsilyl-appended silica particles as chiral stationary phase for HPLC

3-(Methylene-bis(1',4'-phenylene) dicarbamate-2,3-bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-amylose)-2-hydroxylpropoxy-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (DMP-AM-HPS), a new type of 2, 3-regioselectively substituted amylose-immobilized chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), have been prepared by treatment of 3-(2,3-dihydroxyl-propoxy)-propylsilyl silica particles with 2,3-bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-amylose and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The chemical characterization of the bonded particles DMP-AM-HPS has been carried out by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis. The chromatographic performance of the DMP-AM-HPS has been evaluated in HPLC under multi-mode conditions including normal phase, reversed phase, and polar organic mobile phase conditions. The DMP-AM-HPS phase has exhibited excellent selectivity in separating enantiomers of a wide range of chiral drug compounds. The result also suggests that unsubstituted C6 hydroxyl groups in the regioselectively substituted amylose not only have important contributions to chiral recognitions and chromatographic separations, but also allow the DMP-AM-HPS to be used as a new type of amylose-immobilized CSP under multi-mode mobile phase conditions in HPLC.

Synthesis and characterization of cellulose derivative-based hybrid beads as chiral stationary phases for efficient chromatographic enantioseparation

Polysaccharide derivatives have become the most attractive polymer candidates for the preparation of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for efficient chromatographic enantioseparation due to their regular structure and high chiral recognition ability.

Preparation of porous cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate hybrid organosilica particles for chromatographic applications

Organic–inorganic hybrids incorporating cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC)-functionalized silica particles can exhibit a high loading capacity with high loadings of the chiral selector.

Synthesis and characterization of cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate silica hybrid spheres for enantioseparation of chiral β-blockers

A cellulose derivative-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) is considered one of the most widely applied CSPs due to its powerful enantioseparation ability. The high loading capacity and mechanical strength of CSPs are crucial for their application in preparative chromatography, such as a simulated moving bed. Compared to traditional cellulose-based CSPs that have been adsorbed onto chromatographic supports, organic-inorganic hybrid CSPs exhibit a potentially higher loading capacity and mechanical strength by increasing the density of chiral recognition groups. A hybrid cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate chiral stationary phase (organic/inorganic: 70/30, w/w) was prepared via a sol-gel method and characterized with several analytical techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and (29)Si cross polarization/magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance ((29)Si CP/MAS NMR). In addition, the as-synthesized hybrid chiral silica spheres were treated with an end-capping process to mask the residual silica hydroxyl groups. Compared to a commercial Chiralpak IB column, better separation of β-blocker drugs, including pindolol (selectivity of 5.55), metoprolol (2.30), propranolol (1.96), bisoprolol (1.74) and atenolol (1.46), on the end-capped CSP was achieved using liquid chromatography, which suggests that the packing material synthesized in this work has sufficient chiral discriminating ability for the effective separation of β-blocker drugs.

Novel Composite Materials for Chiral Separation from Cellulose and Barium Sulfate

Cellulose was dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and urea followed by the addition of barium sulfate (BaSO4) to yield the BaSO4/cellulose composite particles. The morphology, particle size, and BaSO4content of the composite particles were adjusted by controlling the feed ratio of cellulose and BaSO4. The cellulose within the composite particles then reacted with 3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate. The resulting materials were utilized as the chiral stationary phases (CSPs) whose enantioseparation capabilities were evaluated by various chiral analytes. Due to the mechanical enhancement effect of BaSO4, the composite particles could be applied to the chromatographic packing materials.

Chiral recognition by enantioselective liquid chromatography: mechanisms and modern chiral stationary phases

An overview of the state-of-the-art in LC enantiomer separation is presented. This tutorial review is mainly focused on mechanisms of chiral recognition and enantiomer distinction of popular chiral selectors and corresponding chiral stationary phases including discussions of thermodynamics, additivity principle of binding increments, site-selective thermodynamics, extrathermodynamic approaches, methods employed for the investigation of dominating intermolecular interactions and complex structures such as spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), X-ray diffraction and computational methods. Modern chiral stationary phases are discussed with particular focus on those that are commercially available and broadly used. It is attempted to provide the reader with vivid images of molecular recognition mechanisms of selected chiral selector-selectand pairs on basis of solid-state X-ray crystal structures and simulated computer models, respectively. Such snapshot images illustrated in this communication unfortunately cannot account for the molecular dynamics of the real world, but are supposed to be helpful for the understanding. The exploding number of papers about applications of various chiral stationary phases in numerous fields of enantiomer separations is not covered systematically.
