Immobilization of (1S,2R)-(+)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol derivates on aminated silica gel with different linkages as chiral stationary phases and their enantioseparation evaluation by HPLC.

A chiral selector was prepared through the reaction between (1S,2R)-(+)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol and phenyl isocyanate. This selector was immobilized on aminated silica gel, respectively, with bifunctional group linkers of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, methylene-di-p-phenyl diisocyanate, and terephthaloyl chloride to produce corresponding three chiral stationary phases. The prepared compounds and chiral stationary phases were characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, (1)H NMR, and solid-state (1)H NMR. The enantioseparation ability of these chiral stationary phases was evaluated with structurally various chiral compounds. The chiral stationary phase prepared with 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate as linker showed excellent enantioseparation ability. The influence of different linkages on the enantioseparation was discussed.
