Chirality determination

When using PFT with a neutral selector, it is quite difficult to avoid any entrance of the chiral selector into the ionization source, particularly at a high pH, where EOF is important. The use of BGE at low pH and/or coated capillary to minimize EOF is therefore mandatory. However, the coaxial sheath gas, which generally assists the ionization process, leads to an aspirating phenomenon of the chiral selector in the MS direction. Javerfalk et al. were the first to apply PFT with a neutral methyl-/i-CD for the separation of racemic bupivacaine and ropivacaine with a polyacrylamide-coated capillary and an acidic pH buffer (pH 3). Cherkaoui et al. employed another neutral CD (HP-/1-CD) with a PVA-coated capillary for the analysis of amphetamines and their derivatives. To prevent a detrimental aspiration effect, analyses were carried out without nebulization pressure. Numerous other studies presented excellent results such as the enantioselective separation of adrenoreceptor antagonist drugs using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) the separation of clenbuterol enantiomers after solid-phase extraction (SPE) of plasma samples or the use of CD dual system for the simultaneous chiral determination of amphetamine, methamphetamine, dimethamphetamine, and p-hydroxymethamphetamine in urine.

Addition of the thiophenolate anion to the / -carbon atom of the enone is the chirality-determining step it is, at the same time, rate-determining. The transition state is a ternary complex comprising the catalytic base in the protonated form, the thiophenolate anion, and the enone. The last is activated to nucleophilic attack by hydrogen-bonding to the catalysts / -hydroxy group. The chiral cinchona bases thus act as bifunctional catalysts.

One of the first demonstrations of antibodies as chiral determinants in an organic reaction involved the enantioselective perturbation of a raeso-substrate [14]. For this case phosphonate 1 was used as a hapten and the raeso-diacetate 2 as the substrate for antibodies elicited to this hapten (Scheme 1). This strategy engages...

CD spectra of tautomeric and protonated cyclic adenosine derivatives e.g. 73 have been described. A review of the chiroptical properties of cholesterol glycosides and chirality distinction has appeared (e.g. D-glucose and L-glucose lead to red and blue shifts respectively). CD has been used for chirality determination of dideoxy-g/yccro-mannonopyranose-derived 74. The C2 chir-...
