Isolation of Enantiomers Via Diastereomer Crystallisation Isolation of Enantiomers via Diastereomer Crystallisation Parathy Anandamanoharan 12 March 2010 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Department of Chemical Engineering University College London Torrington Place London WC1E 7JE ABSTRACT Enantiomer separation remains an important technique for obtaining optically active materials. Even though the enantiomers have identical physical properties, the difference in their biological activities make it important to separate them, in order to use single enantiomer products in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. In this project, the separations of three pairs of diastereomer salts ( Fig1 ) by crystallisation are studied, as examples of the ‘classical’ resolution of enantiomers via conversion to diastereomers. The lattice energies of these diastereomer compounds are calculated computationally (based on realistic potentials for the dominant electrostatic interactions and ab initio conformational energies). Then the experimental data are compared with the theoretical data to study the efficiency of the resolving agent. CH 3 R +- NH 3 OOC Phenylethylammonium R= CH 3 2-phenylpropanoate R= C2H5 2-phenylbutanoate R= OH mandelate Fig1 Three pairs of diastereomer salts studied All three fractional crystallisations occurred relatively slowly, and appeared to be thermodynamically controlled. Separabilities by crystallisation have been compared with measured phase equilibrium data for the three systems studied. All crystallisations appear to be consistent with ternary phase diagrams. In the case of R = CH 3, where the salt-solvent ternaries exhibited eutonic behaviour, the direction of isomeric enrichment changed abruptly on passing through the eutonic composition. In another example, R = OH, the ternaries indicated near-ideal solubility behaviour of the salt mixtures, and the separation by crystallisation again corresponded. i Further, new polymorphic structures and generally better structure predictions have been obtained through out this study. In the case of R = CH 3, an improved structure of the p-salt has been determined. In the case of R = C 2H5, new polymorphic forms of the n-salts, II and III, have been both discovered and predicted. This work also demonstrates that chemically related organic molecules can exhibit different patterns of the relative energies of the theoretical low energy crystal structures, along with differences in the experimental polymorphic behaviour. This joint experimental and computational investigation provides a stringent test of the reliability of lattice modelling to explain the origins of chiral resolution via diastereomer formation. All the experimental and computational works investigated in this thesis are published (see APPENDIX 1 ). ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Alan Jones and Professor Peter Cains for the continuous guidance, time, advice, support and encouragement throughout my project. It has been a privilege to work with them, as they have taught me to resolve complex problems throughout my project and all I have learned from them will be invaluable tools in my future career. I would like to say special thanks to Dr Panagiotis (Panos) Karamertzanis, Professor Sally (Sarah) Price and all the other helpful staffs from the Chemistry Department, at UCL, for guidance on using the molecular modelling tools and scientific advices throughout my studies and also for performing some of the characterisation studies. A special thanks to Ghulam Warsi and other technical staffs for providing help with the materials necessary to carry out this project and for their patience. Finally, I would also like to thank the EPSRC organisation for funding my research through a departmental research studentship. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Acknowledgements iii Table of contents iv List of Tables ix List of figures xi 1 INTRODUCTION 1 2 SURVEY OF LITERATURE AND METHODS 9 2-1 Stereochemistry and Crystallisation 9 2-1-1 Stereochemistry 9 2-1-2 Enantiomeric molecules or enantiomers 11 2-1-3 Diastereomeric molecules or diastereomers 13 2-1-4 Crystallisation 14 2-1-5 Racemic crystallisation 15 2-1-6 Diastereomeric crystallisation 15 2-1-7 Separation of racemates via classical resolution 18 2-1-8 Separation of racemates via resolution by direct and preferential crystallisations 18 2-1-9 Separation of racemates via kinetic resolution 20 2-1-10 Resolution of racemates by diastereomeric salt formation 21 2-2 Crystallography and polymorphs 22 2-2-1 Crystallography 22 2-2-1-1 Crystal structures 23 2-2-1-2 Packing and symmetry 27 2-2-1-3 Space group nomenclatures 29 2-2-1-4 Forces responsible for crystal packing – Hydrogen bonding 30 2-2-1-5 A given substance can crystallise in different ways 34 2-2-1-6 How crystals form?

  • Separation of the Mixtures of Chiral Compounds by Crystallization
    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.

Cross-linked protein crystals (CLPCs) have many excellent properties including high volumetric activity and stability. In this thesis CLPC technology was studied in bioseparation and biocatalytic applications. A novel immunoaffinity separation material, cross-linked antibody crystals (CLAC), was developed in this thesis for enantiospecific separation of a chiral drug, finrozole.

Most of them are characterized by the presence of at least one chiral center. Herein, we present the preparation, isolation and the absolute configuration assignment of enantiomeric 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-isobutyl-6-oxopiperidin-3-carboxylic acid (trans-1). For the preparation of racemic trans-1, the Castagnoli-Cushman reaction was employed. (Semi)-preparative enantioselective HPLC allowed to obtain enantiomerically pure trans-1 whose absolute configuration was assigned by X-ray diffractometry. Compound (+)-(2R,3R)-1 represents a reference compound for the configurational study of structurally related lactams.

Abstract This thesis deals with the design and synthesis of ligands for asymmetric catalysis: palladium catalyzed allylic alkylations, and rho- dium and iridium catalyzed hydrogenations of olefins. Chirally flexible phosphepine ligands based on biphenyl were synthesized and their properties were studied. The rotation barrier for configurationally flexible phosphepines was determined by NMR spectroscopy. The ratio of the atropisomers was shown to depend on the group bound to phosphorus. Only complexes with two homochiral ligands bound to the metal center were observed upon complexation with Rh(I). It was shown that one diastereomer of the flexible ligand exhibits higher activity but lower selectivity than its diastereomer in the rhodium catalyzed hydrogenation of methyl α-acetamido- cinnamate. These ligands were also tested in nickel catalyzed silabora- tions. Chiral P,N-ligands with pseudo-C2 and pseudo-CS symmetry based on pyrrolidines-phospholanes or azepines-phosphepines were synthesized and studied in palladium catalyzed allylic alkylations.
