研究目的
To develop a non-empirical method for assigning the absolute configuration of chiral 2-alkyl substituted carboxylic acids and primary amines using optical rotation measurements.
研究成果
The developed method reliably assigns absolute configuration using optical rotation measurements with biphenyl probes, offering a practical alternative to ECD-based methods. It is particularly effective with nitro-substituted probes due to significant redshift, and can be integrated with HPLC for simultaneous separation and configuration determination.
研究不足
The method may have ambiguities for molecules with low chiroptical response or highly flexible conformations; solvent effects and non-covalent interactions are not fully accounted for; requires synthesis of derivatives, which adds steps compared to direct measurements.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves synthesizing 4,4'-disubstituted biphenyl probes (e.g., with OCH3, NH2, NO2 substituents) to redshift the A band in UV/ECD spectra, enhancing its contribution to optical rotation. Theoretical calculations (DFT, TDDFT) are used to model electronic transitions and conformational equilibria.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Chiral carboxylic acids (e.g., N-Boc-L-valine, L-lactic acid, (S)-2-methylbutanoic acid) and primary amines are converted into biphenyl derivatives. Samples are synthesized and purified for spectral analysis.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Polarimeter for [a]D measurements, UV-Vis and ECD spectrometers, computational software (Gaussian 09, SPARTAN '02), chemicals for synthesis (e.g., diphenic acid, allylamine, Pd(OAc)2).
4：2). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Synthesis of biphenyl probes via multi-step organic reactions (e.g., nitration, reduction, cyclization), derivatization of chiral substrates, measurement of UV, ECD, and OR spectra in solvents like THF or CHCl3, computational analysis of conformers and electronic transitions.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Use of Kramers-Kronig transform and sum-over-states expression to relate ECD and OR data; statistical analysis of conformational populations; comparison of experimental and theoretical spectra.
