Synthesis of new C3 symmetric amino acid- and aminoalcohol-containing chiral stationary phases and application to HPLC enantioseparations

We recently reported a new C3-symmetric (R)-phenylglycinol N-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid-derived chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase (CSP 1) that demonstrated better results as compared to a previously described N-3,5-dintrobenzoyl (DNB) (R)-phenylglycinol-derived CSP. Over a decade ago, (S)-leucinol, (R)-phenylglycine, and (S)-leucine derivatives were used as the starting materials of 3,5-DNB-based Pirkle-type CSPs for chiral separation. In this study, three new C3-symmetric CSPs (CSP 2, 3, and 4) were prepared by combining the ideas and results mentioned above. Here we describe the synthetic procedures and applications of the new C3-symmetric CSPs (CSP 2–CSP 4).
