Chiral 1H NMR of Atropisomeric Quinazolinones With Enantiopure Phosphoric Acids

Atropisomeric Racemization Kinetics of MRTX1719 Using Chiral Solvating Agent-Assisted 19F NMR Spectroscopy

With renewed interest in atropisomerism of drug molecules, efficient methods to experimentally determine torsion rotational energy barriers are needed. Here, we describe use of the chiral phosphoric acid solvating agent (+)-TiPSY to resolve the signals of atropisomers in ¹⁹F NMR and to use the data to study the kinetics of racemization and determine the rotational energy barrier of clinical compound MRTX1719. This method is complimentary to traditional chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and enhances the toolkit for chiral analysis techniques.

Recognition in the Domain of Molecular Chirality: From Noncovalent Interactions to Separation of Enantiomers

It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules underlies enantioselective recognition as a fundamental phenomenon regulating life and human activities. Thus, noncovalent interactions represent the narrative thread of a fascinating story which goes across several disciplines of medical, chemical, physical, biological, and other natural sciences. This review has been conceived with the awareness that a modern attitude toward molecular chirality and its consequences needs to be founded on multidisciplinary approaches to disclose the molecular basis of essential enantioselective phenomena in the domain of chemical, physical, and life sciences. With the primary aim of discussing this topic in an integrated way, a comprehensive pool of rational and systematic multidisciplinary information is provided, which concerns the fundamentals of chirality, a description of noncovalent interactions, and their implications in enantioselective processes occurring in different contexts. A specific focus is devoted to enantioselection in chromatography and electromigration techniques because of their unique feature as "multistep" processes. A second motivation for writing this review is to make a clear statement about the state of the art, the tools we have at our disposal, and what is still missing to fully understand the mechanisms underlying enantioselective recognition.

Chiral Phosphoric Acid Promoted Chiral 1H NMR Analysis of Atropisomeric Quinolines

An efficient enantioselective NMR analysis of atropisomeric quinolines in the promotion of chiral phosphoric acid is described, in which a variety of racemic 4-aryl quinolines were well-recognized with up to 0.17 ppm ΔΔδ value. Additionally, the optical purities of different nonracemic substrates could be evaluated fast via NMR analysis with high accuracy.

Efficient Enantiodifferentiation of Carboxylic Acids Using BINOL-Based Amino Alcohol as a Chiral NMR Solvating Agent

A new optically active BINOL-amino alcohol has been designed and synthesized in a good yield and applied as chiral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) solvating agent for enantioselective recognition. Analysis by ¹H NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that it has excellent enantiodifferentiation properties toward carboxylic acids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (14 examples). The non-equivalent chemical shifts (up to 0.641 ppm) of various mandelic acids were evaluated by the reliable peak of well-resolved ¹H NMR signals. In addition, enantiomeric excesses of the ortho-chloro-mandelic acid with different enantiomeric ratio were calculated based on integration of proton well-separated splitting signals.
