NMR spectroscopic detection of chirality and enantiopurity in referenced systems without formation of diastereomers

چکیده
Enantiomeric excess of chiral compounds is a key parameter that determines their activity or therapeutic action. The current paradigm for rapid measurement of enantiomeric excess using NMR is based on the formation of diastereomeric complexes between the chiral analyte and a chiral resolving agent, leading to (at least) two species with no symmetry relationship. Here we report an effective method of enantiomeric excess determination using a symmetrical achiral molecule as the resolving agent, which is based on the complexation with analyte (in the fast exchange regime) without the formation of diastereomers. The use of N,N'-disubstituted oxoporphyrinogen as the resolving agent makes this novel method extremely versatile, and appropriate for various chiral analytes including carboxylic acids, esters, alcohols and protected amino acids using the same achiral molecule. The model of sensing mechanism exhibits a fundamental linear response between enantiomeric excess and the observed magnitude of induced chemical shift non-equivalence in the (1)H NMR spectra.

In situ approach for testing the enantiopurity of chiral amines and amino alcohols by 1H NMR.
An in situ approach involving a simple mix and shake method for testing the enantiopurity of primary, secondary and tertiary chiral amines and their derivatives, chiral amino alcohols, by (1)H-NMR spectroscopy is developed. The protocol involves the in situ formation of chiral ammonium borate salt from a mixture of C2 symmetric chiral BINOL, trialkoxyborane and chiral amines. The proposed conce...

[structure: see text]Derivatization with (+)- and (-)-chloromenthoxydiphenylsilane was used to determine the absolute configuration of the insect defensive agent pinoresinol (1). Although the (1)H NMR chemical shift differences of the resulting two diastereomers are small, (1)H NMR spectroscopy provided for the unambiguous assignment of the natural product's configuration. For this purpose, a n...

The formation of charge-transfer complexation between dibenzo-15-crown-5 (DB15C5) and benzo-12-crown-4 (B12C4) (Donor) and iodine is investigated spectrophotometrically in three chlorinated solvents,chloroform, dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) solution at 25°C. The change in polarityof the solvent also doesn’t affect the stoichiometry of the complexes. Values of formation cons...

Chirality effects on the intramolecular interactions strongly depend on the charge and protonation states. Here, the influence of chirality on the structure of the neutral, protonated, and radical cation forms of (1R,2S)-cis- and (1R,2R)-trans-1-amino-2-indanol diastereomers, prototypical molecules with two chiral centers, is investigated in a molecular beam by laser spectroscopy coupled with q...

Four novel receptors were designed and synthesized for colorimetric detection of F− ions. The introduction of four electron withdrawing groups into the backbone of the receptors makes the two phenolic groups efficient hydrogen bonding sites. The binding properties of receptors with anions were examined for the first time by UV–Vis, 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The addition of F− resu...
