title: Chiral NMR discrimination of the diastereoisomeric salts of the H3-antagonist 2-[3-(1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl)piperidin-1-yl]-1H-benzimidazole.
abstract: Diastereomeric salts with optically pure (S)-alpha-methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (MTPA) were used to discriminate the enantiomers of the chiral H(3)-antagonist 2-[3-(1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl)piperidin-1-yl]-1H-benzimidazole. Chemical-shift differences (Delta delta) in NMR spectra strongly depend on solvent and stoichiometric ratio. The better observable differentiation occurred for the proton at the 2-position of the imidazole ring.
