To investigate the resolution of secondary alcohols using 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid (MalphaNP acid), 2-methyl-4-heptanol, one of the aggregation pheromones of Metamasius hemipterus, was resolved using (S)-MalphaNP acid. As a chiral-resolving agent, MalphaNP acid is superior to 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropionic acid (MTPA) in terms of HPLC separation and NMR shielding. A better separation of diastereomeric MalphaNP esters was observed when n-hexane-THF was used as the eluent for silica gel HPLC. The solvolysis of the diastereomeric MalphaNP esters gave (R)-2-methyl-4-heptanol and its enantiomer; enantiopure (S)-MalphaNP acid was also recovered. In addition, the preferred conformation of the MalphaNP ester was confirmed using methyl (R)-3-hydroxyvalerate as an authentic compound.
为了研究使用2-甲氧基-2-(1-萘基)丙酸(MalphaNP酸)拆分仲醇,使用(S)-MalphaNP酸拆分了半翅目变色树蜥聚集信息素之一的2-甲基-4-庚醇。作为一种手性拆分剂,MalphaNP酸在高效液相色谱(HPLC)分离和核磁共振(NMR)屏蔽方面优于3,3,3-三氟-2-甲氧基-2-苯基丙酸(MTPA)。当正己烷-四氢呋喃用作硅胶HPLC的洗脱剂时,观察到非对映体MalphaNP酯的分离效果更好。非对映体MalphaNP酯的溶剂解得到(R)-2-甲基-4-庚醇及其对映体;还回收了对映体纯的(S)-MalphaNP酸。此外,使用(R)-3-羟基戊酸甲酯作为标准化合物确定了MalphaNP酯的优势构象。
