Published: July 2006

Mixtures of hexane-like ethoxynonafluorobutane with alcohols were used as MS-friendly mobile phases for separation and efficient detection of non-UV-active enantiomers and diastereomers using normal-phase HPLC-APCI-MS. Racemic muscone, camphorsulfonamide, camphorsultam, BOC-protected 1-(3-aminopropyl)-2-pipecoline and diastereomeric 2-methylhexanoyl camphorsultams were resolved on Chiralpak AS and AD and achiral Luna CN columns. The responses of UV and APCI-MS detectors were compared under separation conditions studied, with MS detection achieving lowest detectable quantity in the range of 0.5-2 ng per chromatographic peak. The absolute configuration of crystalline derivatives of racemic 2-methylhexanoic acid with (S)-(-)-2,10-camphorsultam was determined by X-ray analysis after their automatic purification by preparative LC-MS. The technique described can be used to purify and determine the absolute stereochemistry of compounds of unknown structure which contain free carboxy group and lack sufficient UV absorbance.

Background: The metal organic cages (MOCs) are an emerging type of porous material that has attracted considerable research interest due to their unique properties, including good stability and well-defined intrinsic cavities. The chiral MOCs with porous structures have broad application prospects in enantiomeric recognition and separation. However, there are almost no relevant reports on chiral MOCs as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for enantioseparation by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Despite having identical physicochemical properties, chiral molecules require effective separation techniques due to their distinct pharmacological effects. Polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are widely used for chiral separations in liquid chromatography; however, the mechanisms of chiral recognition are not well understood. This research explored the adsorption, retention, and chiral recognition mechanisms of three amylose-based CSPs: Chiralpak ID, IF, and IG.

Chiral macrocycles have emerged as attractive media for chromatographic enantioseparation due to their excellent host-guest recognition properties. In this study, a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on 1,1'-binaphthyl chiral polyimine macrocycle (CPM) was reported. The CPM was synthesized by one-step aldehyde-amine condensation of (S)-2,2'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-3,3'-dicarboxaldehyde with 1,2-phenylenediamine and bonded on thiolated silica via the thiol-ene click reaction to afford the CSP.

Inclusion complexation, hydrogen bonds, π-π interaction, dipole-dipole interaction, and steric hindrance effect all contribute to the enantioseparation ability of cyclodextrin (CD) or CD derivatives. In this work, one native cationic CD chiral stationary phases (SHCDCSP) and four derivatized CD-CSPs, namely, per(4-trifluoromethyl) phenylcarbamoylated-β-CD CSP (SFPhCDCSP), per(4-chloro) phenylcarbamoylated-β-CD CSP (SCPhCDCSP), per(4-bromo) phenylcarbamoylated-β-CD CSP (SBPhCDCSP), and per(4-methyl) phenylcarbamoylated-β-CD CSP (SMPhCDCSP), were prepared via thioether linkage and applied for the enantioseparation of chiral lactides and chiral diketones in both reverse phase (RP) and normal phase (NP) modes. Most of the studied chiral lactides were found to be well resolved (R > 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Nicotine, a chiral alkaloid mainly sourced from tobacco, is used as the addictive agent in smoking products, while synthetic nicotine has gained popularity for being cheaper and possibly purer, lacking impurities from plant extraction.
  • * The U.S. FDA has established new regulations on synthetic nicotine quality control, but comprehensive research comparing its impurity profile with tobacco-extracted nicotine is still limited.
  • * In a study comparing 13 lots of synthetic nicotine and 14 lots from tobacco, similar total impurity levels were found (0.1%), but synthetic nicotine did not contain certain impurities like cotinine and nornicotine, and exhibited high enantiomeric purity.
