Preparation of cyclodextrin chiral stationary phases by organic soluble catalytic 'click' chemistry

We describe an effective and simple protocol that uses click chemistry to attach native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to silica particles, resulting in a chiral stationary phase (CCNCSP) that can be used for the enantioseparation of chiral drugs by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Starting from β-CD, the CCNCSP is prepared in several steps: (i) reaction of β-CD with 1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-imidazole to afford mono-6-toluenesulfonyl-β-CD; (ii) azidolysis of mono-6-toluenesulfonyl-β-CD in dimethylformamide to give mono-6-azido-β-CD (N3-CD); (iii) reaction of cuprous iodide with triphenylphosphine to form an organic soluble catalyst CuI(PPh3); (iv) preparation of alkynyl-modified silica particles; and (v) click chemistry immobilization of N3-CD onto alkynyl-modified silica to afford the desired chiral stationary phase. Synthesis of the stationary phase and column packing takes ∼1 week.
