Macroporous monolithic chiral stationary phases for capillary electrochromatography: New chiral monomer derived from cinchona alkaloid with enhanced enantioselectivity.

A new chiral monomer derived from cinchona alkaloid, namely O-9-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-11-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethylthio]-10,11-dihydroquinine 1, was employed for the preparation of enantioselective monolithic capillary columns by an in situ copolymerization with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate 2 (HEMA), ethylene dimethacrylate 3 (EDMA) in the presence of cyclohexanol and 1-dodecanol as porogens (UV or thermal initiation of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as radical initiator). The porous properties and the electrochromatographic behavior of the new chiral monoliths were comparatively evaluated with previously described analogs obtained from O-9-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethylcarbamoyl]-10,11-dihydroquinidine 4 as chiral monomer. Despite close structural and physicochemical similarities of the both chiral monomers, the pore distribution profiles of the resulting monoliths were shifted typically towards larger pore diameters with the new monomer 1.

Enantioselective strong cation-exchange molecular recognition materials: design of novel chiral stationary phases and their application for enantioseparation of chiral bases by nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography.

New chiral stationary phases derived from enantiomerically pure derivatives of cysteine carrying sulfonic acid groups are synthesized and evaluated for enantiomer separation of chiral bases by non aqueous capillary electrochromatography after bonding to a linker and grafting upon thiol-modified silica particles. Structural modifications of these low molecular weight chiral selectors are investigated and discussed in terms of apparent enantioselectivities and resolution factors based on the enantiomeric separations of a set of chiral bases including beta-blockers, beta-sympathomimetics and other basic drugs. The influence of the mobile phase constitution and its flow velocity on the enantioseparation by nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography is also briefly evaluated and discussed for the chiral substances investigated.

Development of stereoselective nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis system for the resolution of cationic and amphoteric analytes.

A stereoselective ion-pair nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) method employing the partial filling technique with N-derivatized amino acids, e.g., (R)- and (S)-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-leucine (DNB-Leu), as chiral selector for the separation of "pseudoenantiomeric" cinchona alkaloid derivatives and other structurally related basic compounds like the enantiomers of mefloquine is presented.

Simultaneous separation of the stereoisomers of 1-amino-2-hydroxy and 2-amino-1-hydroxypropane phosphonic acids by stereoselective capillary electrophoresis employing a quinine carbamate type chiral selector.

A stereoselective nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (CE) method utilizing O-(tert-butylcarbamoyl) quinine as chiral ion-pair agent and additive to the non aqueous background electrolyte was evaluated for the simultaneous separation of the enantiomers and diastereomers of 1 -amino-2-hydroxypropane phosphonic acid besides the corresponding beta-aminophosphonic acid analogs, the stereoisomers of 2-amino-1-hydroxypropane phosphonic acid, in a single run. The separations have been carried out using the partial filling technique to avoid strong background signal from the quinine selector. It conveniently allowed the baseline separation of all eight components of interest (alpha- as well as beta-aminophosphonic acids) as N-2,4-dinitrophenyl derivatives in a single run.

Tert.-butylcarbamoylquinine as chiral ion-pair agent in non-aqueous enantioselective capillary electrophoresis applying the partial filling technique.

The potential of tert.-butylcarbamoylquinine as chiral selector (SO) added to a non-aqueous background electrolyte for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of N-derivatized amino acids (selectands, SAs) is evaluated. Separation is based on different ion-pair formation equilibrium constants of (R) and (S) enantiomers of the negatively charged chiral analytes with the positively charged quinine-derived chiral SO and on mobility differences of free and complexed SAs, so that differences in the overall migration behavior of the SA enantiomers result.
