Investigation of a broadly applicable chiral selector used in enantioselective chromatography (Whelk-O 1) as a chiral solvating agent for NMR determination of enantiomeric composition

A chiral solvating agent (CSA) based on the chiral selector used in the Whelk-O 1 chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared and its scope evaluated. This chiral selector possesses a cleft flanked with aromatic groups and produces upfield chemical shifts for analytes, which are held in this cleft. The enantiomers of each of the Whelk-O 1 resolvable analytes surveyed show non-equivalent 1H NMR spectra at room temperature with the addition of only 0.5 equiv of the CSA. Similar non-equivalence is sometimes noted for enantiomers, which do not resolve on this CSP. In such cases, it is apparent that a hydrogen bond acceptor is required and higher CSA to substrate ratios and/or lower temperatures may be needed if adequate resolution of enantiomeric signals is to be obtained.

Chiral semicorrin cobalt complexes, prepared in situ from cobalt(II) chloride and the free ligands, are efficient, highly enantioselective catalysts for the conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxamides with sodium borohydride.Enantiomeric excesses of up to 99percent, essentially quantitative yields, and high substrate/catalyst ratios (1000-10 000:1) are attractive attributes of this catalytic process.
