title: Enantioselective anion exchangers based on cinchona alkaloid-derived carbamates: influence of C8/C9 stereochemistry on chiral recognition.
abstract: Four diastereomeric chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on quinine, quinidine, epiquinine, and epiquinidine tert-butyl carbamate selectors were synthesized and evaluated under ion exchange HPLC conditions with a set of racemic N-acylated and N-oxycarbonylated alpha-amino acids as selectands. The enantioseparation potential of quinine- and quinidine-derived CSPs proved to be far superior to that of their C9-epimeric congeners. The absolute configuration of C9 stereogenic center of the cinchonan backbone of these selectors was identified as the structural feature controlling the elution order. Guided by an X-ray structure of a most favorable selector-selectand complex and the observed chromatographic enantioseparation data, a chiral recognition model was advanced. The contributions of ion-pairing, pi-pi donor-acceptor, hydrogen bonding and steric interactions were established as crucial factors.
