In this work, brush-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with O-9-(2,6-diisopropylphenylcarbamoyl)-modified quinidine (DIPPCQD-brush/-SH) and O-9-(2,6-diisopropylphenylcarbamoyl)-modified quinine (DIPPCQN-brush/-SH) were prepared as benchmarks for comparison with new corresponding polymeric CSPs with more stable bonding chemistry. These polymeric CSPs were prepared by coating a thin poly(3-mercaptopropyl)-methylsiloxane film together with the chiral selector onto vinyl-modified silica. In a second step, immobilization of the quinine/quinidine derivatives as well as cross-linking of the polysiloxane film to the vinyl-silica is achieved by a double thiol-ene click reaction.

Prior to surface modification with PMPMS, the silica was vinylized with vinyl trimethoxysilane. Finally, the usefulness of the thiolated silica particles was demonstrated by their further modification for various HPLC applications such as argentation chromatography and chiral separations.

Such bonding chemistry showed greatly enhanced stability compared to brush-type analogs with bifunctional siloxane bonding to silica. Solid-state Si-CP/MAS NMR confirmed the immobilization of the siloxane layer.

Due to reported lower mass transfer resistance, they might be a promising opportunity to increase efficiency and reduce time of analysis since the relatively higher mass transfer resistance term of CSPs caused by slow adsorption-desorption kinetics is the most performance-limiting factor in enantioselective chromatography. This study was dedicated to the evaluation of new support materials for tert-butylcarbamoylquinine (tBuCQN) based CSP to provide highly efficient and fast enantioseparations.

First, the epoxy groups of a poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith were converted into amine residues, followed by reaction with allylglycidyl ether. In this way, a spacer arm was bonded to the surface before coating and cross-linking poly(3-mercaptopropyl methylsiloxane) (PMPMS) via radical addition (thiol-ene click reaction) to the surface.

Hereby, in the D and D chiral separation dimensions factors such as selector and immobilization chemistry of the CSPs, mobile phase, temperature, column hardware dimensions, stationary phase supports, particle type and packing were identical. Orthogonality between D and D CSPs was solely based on their stereochemistry, i.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFA cardinal requirement for effective 2D-HPLC separations is sufficient complementarity in the retention profiles of first and second dimension separations. It is shown that retention and enantioselectivity of chiral selectors derived from cinchona alkaloids can be conveniently modulated by structural variation of the carbamate residue of the quinine/quinidine carbamate ligand of such chiral stationary phases (CSP). A variety of aliphatic and aromatic residues have been tested in comparison to non-carbamoylated quinine CSP.

Four tBuCQN-CSPs with distinct bonding chemistries are compared in terms of their pH-dependent surface charge by ζ-potential determinations, by achiral and chiral liquid chromatographic tests and LC-ESI-MS hyphenation. In one embodiment tBuCQN was immobilized on 3-mercaptopropylmethylsilyl-modified silica by thiol-ene click reaction (brush type CSP with selector coverage of 0.

Aminoglycosides such as GT are efficient antibiotics, but also problematic due to severe side effects such as nephro- and ototoxicity. Fluorescent labeled GT is used to visualize cellular uptake and distribution of the antibiotic to finally understand the mechanisms of serious adverse drug reactions.
