The aim of this work was to develop and to optimize HPLC method for enantioseparation of newly synthesized derivatives of amino acids. The set of these analytes contained four N- blocked derivatives of D,L-Phenylalanine, three N-unblocked derivatives of D,L- Phenylalanine, , one methylated derivative of D,L-Tyrosine and D,L-Tyrosine. Two separation modes i.e. reversed phase and polar-organic modes and two columns i.e. Chirobiotic® T and Chirobiotic® T2 were used. Chiral stationary phases of these columns were composed of macrocyclic antibiotic teicoplanin coated on silica gel support. As mobile phases in revesed phase mode, methanol and acetate buffer were used with Chirobiotic® T column. The most suitable concentration were 20 mM and the most suitable pH value were 4.00. Under the above mentioned conditions eight analytes of ten were separated and the optimal conditions were found. Polar-organic mode and Chirobiotic® T column were suitable only for enantioseparation of three N-blocked derivatives of D,L- Phenylalanine. Mobile phases were composed of methanol with small additions of triethylamine and acetic acid. Chirobiotic® T2 column in reversed phase mode was not suitable for tested set of analytes. Only partial separation of D,L-Tyrosine derivative and one N-unblocked D,L-Phenylalanine...

This diploma thesis is focused on the comparison of enantioselective potential of chiral stationary phases based on derivatized cellulose by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Polysaccharide - based chiral stationary phases are suitable choice for enantioseparation of various chiral compounds. In this work Chiralpak IB column containing cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) selector immobilized onto silica gel and Chiralpak IC column containing cellulose tris(3,5- dichlorophenylcarbamate) selector immobilized onto silica gel were used. Their ability of enantioseparation was tested on 28 structurally different chiral analytes. Reversed- phase separation mode was used for enantioseparation. Mobile phases were composed of organic modifiers acetonitrile or methanol and the aqueous part was selected according to the nature of analytes. Acidic analytes were separated in mobile phases containing aqueous solution of formic acid (pH 2.1). Analytes of bifunctional nature were separated in the presence of aqueous solution of formic acid (pH 2.1), 10 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 8.8) or 100 mM solution of KPF6. Mobile phases containing 10 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 8.8) or 100 mM solution of KPF6 were used for enantioseparation of alkaline chiral analytes. Twelve chiral analytes were...

Green functions of currents allow us to study resonances in the low- energy limit of QCD. Using them, we can construct amplitudes or decay widths of processes. By a comparison of the theoretical predictions with experimental measurements we can determine the values of parameters of the theory and obtain a more comprehensive understanding about the be- haviour of QCD processes. In our investigated topic, an odd-parity sector of QCD, exist five nontriv- ial three-point Green functions, also referred to as correlators. Correlators V V P and V AS have already been studied in [1], whilst a calculation of AAP was provided in [2]. In this thesis we therefore deal with the Green functions V V A and AAA that have not yet been studied before. We present a complete calculation of the contributing Feynman diagrams in the anti- symmetric tensor formalism that satisfies high-energy behaviour within the OPE framework, as was shown also in [2]. The obtained results are submit- ted to phenomenological studies. Further, we also present an introduction to our calculations of the four- point Green functions V V PP and V V V V . The calculations were carried out both in the antisymmetric tensor and vector formalism but due to the complicated tensor structure of the results, the calculations can not be shown here in their...

The aim of this diploma thesis was to prepare two new chiral stationary phases by dynamic coating of sulphobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) with varying degrees of substitution onto strong anion-exchange stationary phases. The enantioselective potential and stability of the newly prepared chiral stationary phases were tested using a set of chiral analytes. The set contained structurally diverse analytes, i.e. benzodiazepines (oxazepam, lorazepam), phenothiazines (thioridazine, promethazine), β-blockers (labetalol, pindolol, propranolol, alprenolol), profens (carprofen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, indoprofen), flavanones (6-hydroxyflavanone, 7-hydroxyflavanone), DL-tryptophan and its derivatives (5-OH-DL-tryptophan, 5-F-DL-tryptophan, DL-tryptophan butylester and blocked aminoacid (t-Boc-DL-tryptophan)), dipeptides (glycyl-DL-phenylalanine, glycyl-DL-tryptophan) and Troger's base. Measurements were carried out in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Mobile phases consisted of methanol/formic acid (pH 2.10) and methanol/10mmol l-1 ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.00) in various volume ratios. The chiral stationary phase containing hexasubstituted SBE-β-CD was suitable for enantioseparation of eleven analytes. Four of them were baseline enantioresolved and seven partially. The chiral...

- 4 - Abstract in English This diploma thesis is focused on the evaluation and comparison of the enantioselective potential of two columns CHIRAL ART Amylose-SA and CDShell-RSP using a set of 29 chiral drugs in high performance liquid chromatography. The separations of enantiomers were performed in three modes: reversed-phase, normal-phase, and polar- organic mode. The CHIRAL ART Amylose-SA column was tested in normal-phase mode, the CDShell-RSP column in reversed-phase and polar-organic modes. The CHIRAL ART Amylose-SA column contains amylose tris(3,5- dimethylphenylcarbamate) immobilized on 3 µm porous silica gel particles. The CDShell-RSP column contains a chiral selector hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, which is covalently bonded on 2.7 µm superficially porous particles. In the normal-phase mode, mobile phases composed of hexane and propane-2-ol were used. Furthermore, the effect of various additives (triethylamine, diethylamine, trifluoroacetic acid, and the mixture of diethylamine and trifluoroacetic acid) in the mobile phase on the enantioseparation of chiral drugs was tested. The most universal additive was a mixture of diethylamine and trifluoroacetic acid. A total of 22 chiral drugs were enantioseparated on the CHIRAL ART Amylose-SA column, 10 of them were baseline separated. Mobile phases for...

The design, synthesis and evaluation of chiral selectors that allow the determination of enantiomeric composition using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry are detailed herein. The enantiomers of the chiral selector were mass labeled at a distant site from the chiral recognition sites of the molecules. The mass-labeled enantiomers were mixed in a one-to-one ratio to form a quasi-racemate. Chiral recognition can be observed by comparing relative abundances of the pseudo-diastereomeric selector-analyte complexes in the mass spectrum. The observed sense of chiral recognition with mass spectrometry was consistent with that observed chromatographically using a corresponding chiral stationary phase in every case. The complex intensity fraction (CIF, intensity of one selector-analyte complex divided by the sum of the intensities for both selector-analyte complexes) is linear with the enantiomeric composition. The slope of this line is an indication of the extent of the enantioselectivity: the larger the slope, the more significant the enantioselectivity. In addition, this line can be used as a calibration curve for the quantitative determination of enantiomeric composition of the same analyte with unkown enantiomeric composition. Amide derivatives of DNB-amino acids were first used as pseudo-enantiomeric chiral selectors in the presence of added lithium chloride. The enantioselectivity values were smaller than those observed on chiral HPLC using the corresponding chiral stationary phase. The use of deprotonated DNB-amino acids as chiral selectors provides higher enantioselectivities, but with low ion abundances. Tertiary amine appended analogues of the chiral stationary phase DNB-Leucine were prepared. The amine was appended to provide a site for ready ionization (through protonation). The performance of chiral selectors of this type was compared to the original chiral selectors that lack this functional group. Chiral recognition was also observed in a reciprocal sense using proline-derived pseudo-enantiomeric chiral selectors and analytes similar to DNB-amino acid esters or amides. Optimization of the electrospray ionization conditions provided similar enantioselectivities to those from chiral HPLC. Libraries of tertiary amine appended derivatives of DNB-dipeptides, which were prepared through combinatorial peptide synthesis, were screened using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry as a discovery tool for new chiral selectors is discussed.

Chapter one; “(-)-Rhazinilam and (-)-Rhazinal: Alkaloids with Anti-mitotic Properties Derived from Kopsia teoi”, provides the background information behind the motives that initiated this research project. The plant alkaloid (-)-rhazinilam [(-)-1] and its naturally-occurring derivative (-)-rhazinal [(-)-13] both exhibit potent anti-mitotic activities and, as such, are interesting targets for total synthesis. Chapter one is a review of the literature regarding these two compounds and discusses the occurrence, proposed biosynthetic origins, structural elucidation and biological activites of compound (-)-1 and that of its analogues including alkaloid (-)-13. Previous total syntheses of these two compounds are then examined, concluding with the only reported total synthesis of compound (-)-13. Developed within the Banwell research group, this total synthesis produced the racemic modification of alkaloid (-)-13 due to a lack of any stereocontrol in the key intramolecular Michael addition step. This unprecedented key step, involving cyclisation of the C2 of pyrrole onto an N-tethered and ?,?-disubstituted acrylate to produce a quaternary-carbon stereogenic centre, would be of greatly enhanced utility if it could be achieved in a catalytic-enantioselective fashion. The realisation of this goal is the central aim of the research conducted within this thesis. ¶ Chapter two; “Investigating Asymmetric Induction in the Intramolecular Michael Addition of pyrrole to N-Tethered Acrylates and Related Species”, introduces the model study used to direct research towards achieving the goal of asymmetric induction in the title process. The model is a somewhat simplified version of the original process used in the total synthesis of compound (-)-13 involving cyclisation of the C2 of pyrrole onto an N-tethered and ?-monosubstituted Michael acceptor, to produce a tertiary-carbon stereogenic centre. This simplification allows the rapid synthesis of a broad range of potential substrates for use in the title process, thus enabling the investigation of various different approaches to inducing asymmetry therein. High levels of asymmetric induction are observed with the use of chiral substrates or catalysts, facilitating the synthesis of both 6- and 7-membered rings annulated to pyrrole with construction of the relevant tertiary-carbon stereogenic centre in enantio-enriched form. For the reactions producing a 6-membered ring annulated to pyrrole, unambiguous proof of the absolute sense of asymmetric induction observed in the intramolecular Michael addition event is established using a chemical correlation study involving elaboration of a key indolizine-type cyclisation product, to the plant alkaloid of known absolute stereochemistry, (-)-tashiromine [(-)-75]. For the reaction producing a 7-membered ring annulated to pyrrole, the same information is obtained via X-ray crystallographic analyses of a dibrominated derivative of a key pyrroloazepine-type cyclisation product. ¶ Chapter three “An Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the Alkaloid (-)-Rhazinal: An Anti-mitotic Agent Isolated from Kopsia teoi.”, focuses on the application of methodology developed in the previous chapter, to the original goal of inducing asymmetry in the intramolecular Michael addition reaction, involving cyclisation of the C2 of pyrrole onto an N-tethered and ?,?-disubstituted acrylate to produce a quaternary-carbon stereogenic centre. This is ultimately achieved in a catalytic-enantioselective fashion, resulting in the first such total synthesis of the anti-mitotic alkaloid (-)-rhazinal [(-)-13]. ¶ Chapter four “Extending the Reaction Manifold to the Syntheses of Related Natural Products: A Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Aspidospermidine and Syntheses of (-)-Rhazinilam and (-)-Leuconolam from (-)-Rhazinal”, describes three extensions to the reaction manifold used in the enantioselective total synthesis of alkaloid (-)-13: The acquisition in an enantioselective manner, of an intermediate previously obtained in racemic form, en route to the racemic modification of the natural product (±)-aspidospermidine [(±)-134], constitutes a formal and enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-aspidospermidine [(+)-134]. The direct deformylation of (-)-rhazinal [(-)-13], is carried out, to produce the parent alkaloid (-)-rhazinilam [(-)-1]. The pyrrole ring present in (-)-rhazinilam [(-)-1] is oxidised, to produce the related natural product (-)-Leuconolam [(-)-12] which has not, hitherto, been prepared by total synthesis. ¶Chapter five contains the experimental procedures and characterisation data associated with compounds described in chapters two to four.
