Efficient Enantiodifferentiation of Carboxylic Acids Using BINOL-Based Amino Alcohol as a Chiral NMR Solvating Agent
Abstract
A new optically active BINOL-amino alcohol has been designed and synthesized in a good yield and applied as chiral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) solvating agent for enantioselective recognition. Analysis by 1H NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that it has excellent enantiodifferentiation properties toward carboxylic acids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (14 examples). The non-equivalent chemical shifts (up to 0.641 ppm) of various mandelic acids were evaluated by the reliable peak of well-resolved 1H NMR signals. In addition, enantiomeric excesses of the ortho-chloro-mandelic acid with different enantiomeric ratio were calculated based on integration of proton well-separated splitting signals.
