Synthesis, NMR Spectroscopic Characterization and Polysiloxane‐Based Immobilization of the Three Regioisomeric Monooctenylpermethyl‐β‐cyclodextrins and Their Application in Enantioselective GC

Abstract
2I−VI,3I−VII,6I−VII‐Eicosa‐O‐methyl‐2IO‐(oct‐7‐enyl)cyclomaltoheptaose, 2I−VII,3I−VI,6I−VII‐eicosa‐O‐methyl‐3IO‐(oct‐7‐enyl)cyclomaltoheptaose, and 2I−VII,3I−VII,6I−VI‐eicosa‐O‐methyl‐6IO‐(oct‐7‐enyl)cyclomaltoheptaose were synthesized by selective introduction of an oct‐7‐enyl group at one of theO‐2,O‐3, orO‐6 positions of selectively methylated cyclomaltoheptaose (β‐cyclodextrin, CD) and, depending on the synthetic route, by a subsequent permethylation step. Each of the regioisomeric mono‐oct‐7‐enylated permethylated β‐cyclodextrin derivatives was anchored by hydrosilylation to a hydridomethyldimethylsiloxane copolymer to yield unambiguouslyO‐2‐,O‐3‐, andO‐6‐bonded chiral stationary phases (CSP) of Chirasil‐Dex, which were evaluated in enantioselective gas chromatography (GC).O‐6‐Chirasil‐Dex displayed slightly inferior enantioselectivity relative to eitherO‐3‐ orO‐2‐Chirasil‐Dex. The statistical synthesis of the CSP by mono‐oct‐7‐enylation of β‐CD under varying reactions conditions (base, solvent), without the use of hydroxy group protection chemistry, furnished a mixture ofO‐6‐ andO‐2‐Chirasil‐Dex in dimethylformamide and predominantly theO‐2‐regioisomer in dimethyl sulfoxide. Chirasil‐Dex, previously formulated exclusively as theO‐6 regioisomer, should be revised as anO‐2‐ andO‐6‐Chirasil‐Dex mixture. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
