Enantioresolution and Chameleonic Mimicry of 2-Butanol with an Adamantylacetyl Derivative of Cholic Acid
摘要:
[3 beta,5 beta,7 alpha,12 alpha]-3[(Adamantyl-1-acetyl)-amino]-7-12-dihydroxycholan-24-oic acid (AdCH(2)CA) was synthesized by the reaction between 1-adamantyl acetyl chloride and the methyl ester of 3 beta-amino-cholic acid and hydrolysis of the ester. The acid wits recrystallized from racemic 2-butanol (0.1 % water). Crystals are orthorhombic (P2(1)2(1)2(1)) and form inclusion complexes with water and 2-butanol with a 1:1:1 stoichiometry. Only the S-enantiomer is included into the structure of the crystal, exhibiting a chameleonic mimicry with the steroid bilayers. The isolation of crystals allows the enantioresolution of the racemate with a high purity (approximate to 99%) of S-2-butanol. The steroid molecules are disposed in an antiparallel orientation in the hydrophobic layer and it parallel orientation in the hydrophilic one.
