Absolute optical chiral analysis using cavity-enhanced polarimetry

2021

Chiral analysis is central for scientific advancement in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine. It is also indispensable in the development and quality control of chiral compounds in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Current methods for chiral analysis, namely optical polarimetry, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, are either insensitive, have low time resolution, or require preparation steps, and so are unsuited for monitoring chiral dynamics within complex environments: the current need of both research and industry. Here we present the concept of absolute optical chiral analysis, as enabled by cavity-enhanced polarimetry, which allows for accurate unambi…

Enantiomer Separations Using Designed Imprinted Chiral Phases

Total Synthesis of (±)-Oxalicumone C and Chiral Resolution and Elucidation of Its Absolute Configuration

2014

The racemic total synthesis, the chiral resolution, and the elucidation of the absolute configuration of the natural product oxalicumone C were investigated. The goal was achieved by a synthetic strategy beginning with the synthesis of a 5-hydroxy-7-methylchromone precursor. Further modification possibilities were achieved by introduction of a vinyl moiety into the chromone, which was based on a selective iodination step in the 3-position. Further transformations furnished the racemic natural product. To determinate the absolute configuration of naturally occurring oxalicumone C, both enantiomers were separated by chiral HPLC. Comparison of the calculated and experimental vibrational circul…

BONDED SILICA PHASES FOR THE SEPARATION OF BIOPOLYMERS BY MEANS OF COLUMN LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Is multidimensional high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) an alternative in protein analysis to 2D gel electrophoresis?

2000

The interactive modes of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) of proteins provide a platform for the construction of a multidimensional HPLC system coupled to mass spectrometry. We present a system composed of both anion and cation exchanger columns, in the first dimension, and n-octadecyl bonded 1.5 μm nonporous silica columns in the second dimension. Both columns are operated under gradient conditions. A system suitability test with standard proteins showed that the total analysis can be performed within about 20 minutes. The fractions taken from the ion exchanger column are directly analyzed within one minute on the reversed phase column at a high flow rate. Two reversed phase c…

Phase-distribution chromatography (PDC) of polystyrene

1970

A chromatographic technique is described where the stationary phase is a layer of a very high molecular polystyrene fraction (M = 107) on glass beads (ballotines). The mobile phase is cyclohexane passing the column at a constant temperature below the theta-temperature. A polystyrene sample of sufficiently low molecular weight (M ≤ 106) injected as a small plug at the top of the column is fractionated because the distribution between the mobile and the stationary phase depends on the molecular weight. Since the large molecules preferentially remain in the stationary phase, the smaller molecules leave the column first. The fractionation effect is inverse to that found in GPC experiments. The …

Ligands P-stéréogéniques dérivés du calix[4]arène. Synthèses et applications en catalyse asymétrique

2010

We were interested in synthesis of P-stereogenic ligands derived from calix[4]arene and in their application in asymmetric catalysis. Mono et diphosphines were prepared on the upper rim of the macrocyle starting from the mono or dianion of the calix[4]arene and chlorophosphines borane or the oxazaphospholidine borane complex. The best selectivity was obtained by reaction of the dianion with the oxazaphospholidine borane complex leading to a bisaminophosphine borane. After acidolysis with HCl giving the corresponding bischlorophosphine and reaction with organolithium reagents, diphosphines diborane were obtained with good yields (40 à 60 %). X-ray structures of the prepared ligands confirmed…

Implementation of local chiral interactions in the hyperspherical harmonics formalism

2021

With the goal of using chiral interactions at various orders to explore properties of the few-body nuclear systems, we write the recently developed local chiral interactions as spherical irreducible tensors and implement them in the hyperspherical harmonics expansion method. We devote particular attention to three-body forces at next-to-next-to leading order, which play an important role in reproducing experimental data. We check our implementation by benchmarking the ground-state properties of $^3$H, $^3$He and $^4$He against the available Monte Carlo calculations. We then confirm their order-by-order truncation error estimates and further investigate uncertainties in the charge radii obta…

Triplet exciplexes as energy transfer photosensitisers

2006

Experimental evidence is provided for the occurrence of triplet–triplet energy transfer from benzoylthiophene–indole exciplexes to naphthalenes with a remarkable stereodifferentiation; chiral recognition is also observed in the decay of the generated naphthalene triplets.

Determination of usnic and perlatolic acids and identification of olivetoric acids in Northern reindeer lichen (Cladonia stellaris) extracts

2010

AbstractThe ecologically important lichen Cladonia stellaris forms thick carpets in boreal forest floors. In addition to affecting temperature and water conditions in the soil underneath, the secondary metabolites formed by the lichen layer are of ecological interest. In this paper, we investigated the distribution of lichen acids in C. stellaris collected at different latitudes in Finland and developed methods to quantify the two optical enantiomers of usnic acid separately. The lichen extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV and mass spectrometric (MS) detection and by gas chromatography with flame ionization (GC-FID) and MS detection. Usnic acid and…
