Separation of Stereoisomers Resolution of Racemic Mixtures the Separation of a Racemic Mixture Into the Individual Pure Enantiomers Is Called Resolution Separation of Stereoisomers Resolution of Racemic Mixtures The separation of a racemic mixture into the individual pure enantiomers is called resolution. Since enantiomers have identical physical properties, such as solubility, boiling point and chromatographic retention time, they can not be resolved by common physical techniques such as crystallization, distillation or basic chromatography. However, diastereomers have different physical properties and can be separated by conventional physical techniques, a difference commonly exploited in resolution of racemic mixtures by placing the racemate in a chiral environment to 11:06 AM initiate diastereomeric interactions. 1 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Conversion of enantiomers to diastereomers 11:06 AM 2 Separation of Stereoisomers Resolution of Racemic Mixtures All methods for separating or characterizing enantiomers exploit the formation of diastereomeric interactions. Although the interactions that create diastereomers out of enantiomers are commonly: (i) Ionic interactions or (ii) Covalent interactions, However, this is not a strict requirement for separations. Weaker, non-covalent complexes or interactions based on van Der Waal or hydrogen bonding interactions are often 11:06 AM discriminating enough to allow separation of enantiomers. 3 Methods of Resolving Racemic Mixtures Summary The four general strategies that take advantage of the formation of diastereomeric interactions to separate a racemic mixture or enantiomerically enriched mixture are: a) Formation of diastereomeric salts with an enantiopure resolving agent. b) Formation of diastereomeric compounds with an enantiopure resolving agent. c) Enzymatic resolution using an appropriate enzyme. d) Use of chiral stationary phases for chromatographic resolution of racemic mixtures. 11:06 AM 4 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Diastereomeric Salt Formation In 1849, Louis Pasteur, in his pioneering work, was able to isolate the enantiomers of tartaric acid because they crystallize from solution as crystals with differing symmetry and shape. But such cases are very rare, but profoundly influenced the study of stereochemistry: Due to this observation, 11:06 AM concept of enantiomerism was born. 5 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Formation of Diastereomeric Salts (S)-1-Phenylethylamine combines with a racemic mixture of lactic acid to form diastereomeric salts. The diastereomers are separated by fractional crystallization. 11:06 AM 6 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Formation of Diastereomeric Salts After the separation process, each of the diastereomers is subsequently treated with a strong acid such as HCl to regenerate the corresponding enantiomer of lactic acid. Note that since lactic acid would be soluble in the organic layer, while the ammonium salt of the resolving agent would be in the water layer, routine solvent extraction with 11:06 AM an organic solvent would allow recovery of R-lactic acid. 7 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Formation of Diastereomeric Salts Since enantiomerically pure compounds are very expensive, it is usually necessary to recover and reuse the chiral amine. This is achieved by treating the (S)-1-phenylethyl ammonium chloride salt with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide to regenerate and recover the chiral amine. 11:06 AM 8 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Diastereomeric Salt of Mandelic Acid The natural enantiomer, (S)-(+)-mandelic acid (sweet almonds), combines with a racemic mixture of 2- aminobutane to form diastereomeric salts. 11:06 AM 9 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Formation of Diastereomeric Compounds An equally effective strategy of resolving racemic mixtures is by reacting with an enantiopure resolving agent leading to formation of covalently bonded diastereomeric compounds. After separating the diastereomers through conventional techniques, such as gas or liquid chromatography, the resolving agent is recovered by cleaving the covalent bond formed in the earlier step. 11:06 AM 10 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Formation of Diastereomeric Esters of Menthol (-)-Menthol, a chief component of peppermint oil, can be readily used as a chiral resolving agent. 11:06 AM 11 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Enzymatic Resolution In enzymatic or kinetic resolution, there is preferential reaction of just one enantiomer resulting in an enantioenriched sample of the less reactive enantiomer. 11:06 AM 12 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Chiral Stationary Phases A more versatile method for resolving a racemic mixture is through the use of chromatography on chiral stationary phases. These are applied in gas chromatographic and liquid chromatographic techniques. In the resolution of racemic 2-aminobutane on a chromatographic system in which an enantiomer of mandelic acid is attached to a stationary phase, new, transient, diastereomeric interactions between 2- aminobutane and the stationary phase lead to separable 11:06 AM diastereomers with different retention times. 13 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Chromatography on Chiral Stationary Phases 11:06 AM 14 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Chiral Stationary Phases Chiral chromatography exploits the development of transient, diastereomeric interactions between the enantiomers and the chiral stationary phase. The S-enantiomer has stronger interactions with stationary phase hence tails in the column. Chiral stationary phases can also be used to assess the 11:06 AM efficacy of the separation. 15 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Assessing the Efficacy of a Resolution Using a chromatogram of the resolved compound on a chiral stationary phase, the percentage composition can be determined. Racemic mixture Retention time Enantiomerically enriched 11:06 AM 16 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Assessing the Efficacy of a Resolution The efficacy of the different strategies for separating a racemic mixture can be determined by assessing the purity of each of the enantiomers obtained. The purity of each of the enantiomers is usually expressed as enantiomeric excess (ee). Enantiomeric excess (optical purity) is a measure of how pure an enantiomer is (i.e. the extent to which one enantiomer is present in excess of the racemic mixture). It is denoted by the symbol ee and calculated as a %. ee= % of major enantiomer -% of the minor enantiomer. 11:06 AM 17 Assessing Purity of an Enantiomer Calculating Enantiomeric excess (ee) by Percentage If the percentages of each of the two enantiomers in the mixture is calculated from the area under the peak in a chromatogram, the enantiomeric excess can be calculated directly using the formula below. ee= % of major enantiomer -% of the minor enantiomer. Consider the case of a mixture containing 95% of one enantiomer and 5% of the other, the enantiomeric excess of the mixture is 95% - 5% = 90%. In essence, there is a 90% excess of one enantiomer over 11:06 AM 18 the racemic mixture, which is 10%. Assessing Purity of an Enantiomer Calculating Enantiomeric excess (ee) by Mass The enantiomeric excess (purity) of a mixture can be calculated using the masses of each of the enantiomers in the mixture. If the masses of each of the pure enantiomers isolated after separation is known, the enantiomeric excess can be calculated using the equation below: (Where R and S are the amounts of each enantiomer in 11:06 AM the mixture) 19 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Calculating Enantiomeric Excess (Assignment) The enantiomeric excess can also be calculated if the specific rotation [α] of a mixture and the specific rotation [α] of a pure enantiomer are known. ee= ([α] mixture/[α] pure enantiomer) x 100. A sample of mandelic acid analysed in a polarimeter gave an observed specific rotation of -75 degrees. If the specific rotation of (S)-mandelic acid is +154 degrees; (i) Which enantiomer is in excess? (R or S) (ii) Calculate the enantiomeric excess of the mixture. (iii) Calculate the percentage of each enantiomer in the mixture. 11:06 AM Show your work and explain how each value is obtained. 20 Resolution of Racemic Mixtures Calculating Enantiomeric Excess (Answer) If (S)-mandelic acid has a specific rotation of +154 degrees then its enantiomer has a specific rotation of -154 degrees. As the specific rotation of the mixture is negative, (R)- mandelic acid is the dominant one. ee = [α]obs / [α]max x 100 where ee is the enantiomeric excess and [ ] is the modulus sign that makes negative values positive. ee = (75 /154) x 100 = 48.7% Let the % of R-enantiomer be R, that of the S-enantiomer be S, then R + S = 100, while R – S = enantiomeric excess. R – (100 – R) = enantiomeric excess = 48.7 2R – 100 = 48.7, which implies that 2R = 148.7 The major R-enantiomer = 74.4% 11:06 AM The minor S-enantiomer = (100 – R) = 25.6% 21 Assignment Separation of Stereoisomers A synthetic chemist investigated the reduction of (S)-2- amino-3-oxobutanoic acid to L-threonine with sodium borohydride shown below: After purification of the reaction mixture by column chromatography, 8.2 g of L-threonine and 1.6 g of L- allothreonine were isolated: (i) Determine the diastereomeric excess of the reaction (ii) What was the diastereoselectivity of the reduction? 11:06 AM 22.

    1 Separation of the Mixtures of Chiral Compounds by Crystallization Emese Pálovics2, Ferenc Faigl1,2 and Elemér Fogassy1* 1Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2Research Group for Organic Chemical Technology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary 1. Introduction Reaction of a racemic acid or base with an optically active base or acid gives a pair of diastereomeric salts. Members of this pair exhibit different physicochemical properties (e.g., solubility, melting point, boiling point, adsorbtion, phase distribution) and can be separated owing to these differences. The most important method for the separation of enantiomers is the crystallization. This is the subject of this chapter. Preparation of enantiopure (ee~100%) compounds is one of the most important aims both for industrial practice and research. Actually, the resolution of racemic compounds (1:1 mixture of molecules having mirror-imagine relationship) still remains the most common method for producing pure enantiomers on a large scale. In these cases the enantiomeric mixtures or a sort of their derivatives are separated directly. This separation is based on the fact that the enantiomeric ratio in the crystallized phase differs from the initial composition. In this way, obtaining pure enantiomers requires one or more recrystallizations. (Figure 1). The results of these crystallizations (recrystallizations) of mixtures of chiral compounds differ from those observed at the achiral compounds. Expectedly, not only the stereoisomer in excess can be crystallized, because the mixture of enantiomers (with mirror image relationship) follows the regularities established from binary melting point phase diagrams, and ternary composition solubility diagrams, respectively, as a function of the starting enantiomer proportion.

    Perspective Effect of the Enantiomeric Ratio of Eutectics on the Results and Products of the Reactions Proceeding with the Participation of Enantiomers and Enantiomeric Mixtures Emese Pálovics *, Dorottya Fruzsina Bánhegyi and Elemér Fogassy Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 1521 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] (D.F.B.); [email protected] (E.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +36-1-4632101 Received: 3 August 2020; Accepted: 14 September 2020; Published: 21 September 2020 Abstract: This perspective is focused on the main parameters determining the results of crystallization of enantiomers or enantiomeric mixtures. It was shown that the ratio of supramolecular and helical associations depends on the eutectic composition of the corresponding enantiomeric mixture. The M and P ratios together with the self-disproportionation (SDE) of enantiomers define the reaction of the racemic compound with the resolving agent. Eventually, each chiral molecule reacts with at least two conformers with different degrees of M and P helicity. The combined effect of the configuration, charge distribution, constituent atoms, bonds, flexibility, and asymmetry of the molecules influencing their behavior was also summarized. Keywords: chiral molecules; enantiomeric separation; self-disproportionation of enantiomers; supramolecular associations; helical structure; eutectic composition 1. Introduction The preparation of asymmetric (chiral) compounds (enantiomers) is one of the main goals of research, industry and medicine. The preparation of a given enantiomer is possible in several ways, for example by selective synthesis, which requires the separation of the chiral catalyst or the enantiomers of the racemic compound, and in which case a resolving agent (like a chiral catalyst) may be required.

Be able to identify a chiral center (or centers) in a drug 3. Be able to explain the difference between enantiomers and diastereomers Value of chirality and stereochemistry: Chirality as expressed through stereoisomers increases the specificity of molecule recognition and signaling. Like a key in a lock, or a hand in a glove. Some useful definitions: Chirality (and chiral centers): An object (such as a molecule) that is asymmetric and therefore not superimposable on its own image. Chiral centers are the most common features within molecules that give rise to chirality. Stereoisomer: A molecule that possesses at least one chiral center (or center of chirality). Enantiomers: A type of stereoisomer that exists in mirror image forms. See Figure 1. Diastereomers: A type of stereoisomer that possesses more than one chiral center. Stereospecific: A term used to describe a stereochemical property that one isomer possesses but the other does not. For example, the stereospecific metabolism of the S-enantiomer of a compound by an enzyme but the R-enantiomer is not metabolized by that enzyme. Stereoselective: A term used to describe a stereochemical property that is shared by both stereoisomers, but the property is greater in one isomer than the other. For example, the stereoselective binding of the R-enantiomer for a receptor indicates that the S-enantiomer also binds but not as avidly as the R-enantiomer. Enantiomers Figure 1: For enantiomers, many times we use the example of our left and right hands to demonstrate their asymmetry.

Interaction of light and matter If light enters matter, its intensity (amplitude), polarization, velocity, wavelength, etc. may alter. The two basic phenomena of the interaction of light and matter are absorption (or extinction) and a decrease in velocity. 3 16.11.2010 Interaction of light and matter Absorption means that the intensity (amplitude) of light decreases in matter because matter absorbs a part of the light. (Intensity is the square of amplitude.) Interaction of light and matter The decrease in velocity (i.e. the slowdown) of light in matter is caused by the fact that all materials (even materials that do not absorb light at all) have a refraction index, which means that the velocity of light is smaller in them than in vacuum.
