CHIRAL STATIONARY PHASES FOR ENANTIOMERS SEPARATION AND THEIR PREPARATION State of the art The separation of enantiomers by means of liquid chromatography (LC) using chiral stationary phases is based on the reversible diasteromeric association between the chiral environment in the column and the enantiomers in the solution (S. Allenmark,"Chromatographic Enantioseparation", 2nd Edition, Ellis Horwood, New York, 1991, pp. 1007-1008).

The chiral stationary phases for LC are normally classified on the basis of their general structures. One group is based on either synthetic or natural polymers and is totally or intrinsically chiral.

Another group is made up of chiral selectors with a low molecular weight bound to a solid, incompressible, matrix, generally silica. The latter provides remarkable advantages with respect to the former since the chiral selectors can be designed rationally (K. B. Lipkowitz, Modelling Enantiodifferentiation in Chiral Chromatography, in"A Practical Approach to Chiral Separation by Liquid Chromatography", G. Subramanian Editor, VCH, Weinheim, 1994, pp. 19-55).

This implies that they can be selected on a rational basis; in fact, their enantioselective features can often be evaluated by means of NMR studies or can be singled out thanks to computer modelling according to the various types of chemical interactions.

Among the most frequently used chiral selectors bound to a solid support it is worth quoting the"crown ethers" (E. P. Kyba et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1978,100: 4555-4568), the charge-transfer complexes (W. H. Pirkle et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.

1986,108: 352) the chiral selectors based on hydrogen bonds (see e. g. S. Hara et al., J. Chromatogr., 1979,186: 543) and other types of chiral selectors (P.

Salvadori et al., Tetrahedron, 1987,43,4969).

All these products exhibit some limitations with respect to their enantioseparating ability, which are due either to the high number of functional groups or structural subunits that participate in the interaction with the enantiomers in solution.

The range of application of chiral selectors should therefore be widened up so as

to promote the use and versatility of chromatography based on stationary chiral phases.

6,-tetrachlorobenzene is a fungicide widely used in agriculture; some of its derivatives such as glutathione are described in Tetrahedron, 1995, 51: 2331. None of these derivatives is used in chromatography.

Field of the invention This invention relates to new derivatives of 5,6,- tetrachlorobenzene containing one or more chiral groups and one group acting as a spacer. The stationary phases obtained from these derivatives provide an efficient separation of enantiomers.

Summary The present invention describes new chiral stationary phases, and the optically active compounds therein contained. The optically active compounds contained in the stationary phases are represented by the formula of structure (t), which comprise at least one asymmetric carbon atom and a substituent acting as a spacer. The stationary phases of the present invention can be. used in the preparation of chromatographic columns useful for the analytical and preparative separation of enantiomers.

When Y=X, formula (I) can contain two chiral

groups in meta position with respect to the Z group, by conferring thus specific symmetry characters: if the two X substituents are structural and stereochemically different from one another, the molecule acquires C1 symmetry; on the other side if the two X substituents are structurally and stereochemically identical, the molecule acquires C2 symmetry. Another possibility of having a chiral selector of formula (I) with two chiral groups on the tetrachloro- dicyanobenzene is allowed when Z=X.

Formula (I) always contains one spacer group as above defined. Preferred spacer groups are those where R6 represents ethyl and n is 3. A most preferred spacer is the (3-triethoxylsilylpropyl) amino group. As evident from formula (I), the spacer group can be indifferently present as an Y, Z group or as a further substituent of the chiral group. In this latter case (i. e. when the spacer is defined by the substituent R4 or R5, option (c)), the R3 substituents are preferably chosen among: (CH2) p-CONHR4, (CH2) p-CON (R4R5), CONHCH (R4) CONHR4. By means of a covalent binding that involves the oxygen atoms of the (OR6) 3 groups, the spacer group allows to bind the molecule of formula (I) to a solid support and to form chiral stationary phases for chromatography. The linkage that forms can be represented in this way: Formula (I)-A- (CH2) n-Si-O-l solid support The solid support can be of either of organic or, preferably, inorganic type.

Suitable examples of solid inorganic support are silica gel, alumina, kaolin, titanium oxide, magnesium, silicate, synthetic polymers. The preferred solid support is silica (e. g. silica gel).

The present invention relates also to a process for the production of chiral stationary phases. This process entails the use of 1,3-dicyano-2,4,5,6- tetrachlorobenzene as a reagent; as mentioned above, this product is commercially available.

In agreement with the structural requirements of formula (I), the present process entails the introduction of only one spacer group, and from one to three chiral X

groups.

The process is thus characterised by comprising the following separate reaction steps which can take place in any order: * introduction of one or more chiral X groups on the dicyanobenzene ring, * introduction of the spacer group either on dicyanobenzene ring or on a chiral group already present on the dicyanobenzene ring, 'formation of covalent linkage between the spacer group and a solid support.

According to a first specific embodiment, the above described process comprises the following steps: a) introduction of one or more chiral X groups on the 1,3-dicyano-2,4,5,6- tetrachlorobenzene by substitution of one or both chlorine atoms in position 4 or 6 with the obtainment of chiral derivatives of formula (II).

Formula (II) where X and Y have the meanings defined above, with the only difference that they do not contain any spacer group. b) introduction of a spacer group in the derivative of formula (II) obtained in step a), wherein said spacer group is introduced either by substitution of one chlorine atom on the dicyanobenzene ring or it is introduced on the X group, with the obtainment of the chiral selector of formula (I). c) formation of covalent linkage between the spacer group and the solid support with the obtainment of the chiral stationary phase.

According to a second specific embodiment, the above described process comprises the following steps: a) introduction of one or more chiral X groups on the 1,3-dicyano-2,4,5,6- tetrachlorobenzene by substitution of one or both chlorine atoms in position 4 or 6

of the dicyanobenzene ring with the obtainment of chiral derivatives of formula (II). b) formation of covalent linkage between a spacer group and a solid support. c) introduction of the spacer group linked to the solid support obtained in step b) either on position 2 or 4 or 6 of the dicyanobenzene ring or on the X group of chiral selector of formula (II) obtained in a) with the obtainment of the chiral stationary phase.

According to a third specific embodiment, the above described process comprises the following steps: a) introduction of a spacer group on 1,3-dicyano-2,4,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene by substitution of one chlorine atom in position 4 or 6 of the dicyanobenzene ring, where said spacer group is possibly previously bounded to the solid support b) introduction of one or more chiral X groups on the dicyanobenzene ring by substitution of either one or both chlorine atoms in position 2 or 4 or 6 of the compound of step a), possibly formation of covalent linkage between the spacer group and the solid support, with the obtainment of chiral stationary phases.

The chiral X groups are introduced in the 1,3-dicyano-2,4,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene by substitution of one or more of the chlorine atoms in position 2,4,6, using suitable reagents containing the X group.

Examples of these reagents are a-aminoacids, a-arylalkyl amine, secondary alcools, amides or esters of chiral carboxylic acids. Examples of specific reagents are: 1-phenylethylamine, proline, (1- (naphth-1-yl) ethylamine, phenylalanine, phenylglycine, n-butylamine, naphthylethylamine, 3,5- dimethylaniline, cyclohexylethylamine, sarcosine, asparagine.

The spacer group is preferably introduced by reaction with a reagent of formula AH- (CH2) n-Si- (OR6) 3where A=NH2, OH, and where n and R6 have the meanings described above.

The introduction of X, Y and Z groups is performed by heating the reagents in a suitable solvent, possibly in the presence of an excess of this solvent. The operational temperature ranges from 20°C to 150°C and the reaction time ranges from 60 minutes to 80 hours. When a single X group is introduced in the ring, then

the reaction is preferably performed in a polar solvent or in a mixture of solvents.

Moreover the times are shorter, ranging from 1 to 5 hours. In case derivatives with two X substituents are to be prepared then it is preferable to use an excess of liquid reagent (molar excess 50-100 times) and then carry on heating up to 80 hours.

The X chiral groups that are present in the stationary phases that are the object of this invention are in an optically pure form, that is they have a specific stereochemical configuration. The synthesis of the products of formula (II) and (I) that are the object of the present invention are carried out by using the nucleophylic reagents containing the X group in an optically pure form.

The covalent binding between the spacer group and the solid support is obtained according to known chemical reactions comprising heating at high temperature in the presence of an organic solvent.

The preparation of the chiral stationary phases based on chiral selectors of formula (I), and the specific structures of some chiral stationary phases are shown in Figures 1-5.

Figure 1,2,3,4 show the preparation of stationary chiral phases called FSC 1,5, 10,20. The experimental part reports the preparation of stationary phases starting from a variety of chiral selectors of formula (I).

The stationary phases (whose structures are illustrated in Figure 5) that are the object of the present invention allow the separation of several racemic mixtures of commercial interest. The use of these chiral stationary phases for the enantiomeric separation by chromatography, and in particular their use in the preparation of high performance liquid chromatographic columns (HPLC) constitutes a further aspect of the present invention. Moreover, the present invention comprises a method of separation of enantiomeric mixtures by means of such chiral stationary phases. Examples of isomer separation by means of stationary phases object of the invention are reported in the experimental part.

The stationary phases which are object of the present invention allow both the analytical and preparative separation of enantiomers of structural different compounds and to determine the enantiomeric composition obtained by means of

various asymmetric syntheses (V. Vinkovic et al., Tetrahedron, 1997,53,689; E.

Ljubovic, et al. Tetrahedron: Asymm., 1997,8,1).

The separation process takes place by means of several efficient interactions for the enatioselection and also by means of new kinds of cumulative interaction that can be performed specifically and only by means of the selectors of formula (I) claimed in the present invention. In particular, the high electronegativity of the chlorine atom and the dipolar moment of the CN group of the chiral selector promotes the setting of polar interactions and the formation of hydrogen bonds with the enantiomers to be separated.

Moreover, the lack of z electrons on the aromatic ring that is measured with the sum of the c constants of each substituents (chlorine, cyano-amino, amido, alkoxy) is higher than the one calculated for the amide derivative of N- (3,5- dinitrobenzoyl)-aminoacid used by Pirkle as a chiral selector (Pirkle, J. Am. Chem.

Soc. 1986,108,352). The new stationary phases are therefore remarkably more effective in the formation of interactions of the 7E-7i kind with strong Ti-donor groups present in the chiral compounds to be separated. In particular, the stationary phases claimed turned out to be effective in the separation of a wide number of enantiomers such as a-aminoacids and of their derivatives with N-and O- protection, carboxylic acids and their esters or heterocyclic or acyclic amides, amines, alcohols, thiols, epoxides and aziridines.

The examples listed hereunder aim at illustrating the invention without a limitative purpose.
