USING OPTICALLY ACTIVE CHIRAL CROWN ETHER AT ENANTIOMERIC SEPARATION OF AMINES

The synthesized S-enantiomer of the crown ether was used as an adsorbent to separate the racemic mixture of L-alanine ether of phenamine into individual diastereomers by column chromatography. Chromatographic separation occurred due to the formation of complexes of different stability between diastereomers and optically selective adsorbents on a host-guest principle. The separated diastereomers were converted into enantiomers by hydrolysis. The structure and optical activity of the synthesized crown ether and separated enantiomers were investigated by physicochemical methods

Enantiodiscrimination Using a Chiral Crown Ether as a Chiral Solvating Agent Using NMR Spectroscopy

For enantiomer separation of a variety of chiral compounds, a number of chiral selectors have been developed and applied. Among these chiral selectors are chiral crown ethers, a class of synthetic polyether molecules that bind protonated chiral primary amines with high selectivity. This article focuses on enantiodiscrimination using (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid as a crown ether-type chiral solvating agent for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic method in several chirotechnologies.
