摘要:
Three closely related diketopiperazines, (S)-1-benzyl-6-methylpiperazine-2,5-dione (S)-1a, (S)-1-benzyl-3-methylpiperazine-2,5-dione (S)-1b, and (S)-6-methyl-1-(pentafluorobenzyl)piperazine-2,5-dione (S)-1c, were prepared and screened as potential chiral solvating agents in NMR spectroscopy. The H-1 NMR spectra of 13 racemic alpha-amino acid derivatives (RS)-5a-5m were taken in CDCl3 in the presence of equimolar amounts of enantiopure diketopiperazines (S)-1a-1c at 29 degrees C, 0 degrees C, and -20 degrees C. Cornpound (S)-1a exhibited the strongest chiral solvating properties for racemic alpha-amino acid derivatives (RS)-5a-5m and was recognized as a suitable CSA for the determination of their enantiomer composition. Weaker interactions of diketopiperazines (S)-1b and (S)-1c with compounds (RS)-5a-5m indicate that the position and properties of substituents play an important role in the binding affinity of diketopiperazines 1 towards amino acid derivatives 5. Association constants for binding of (S)-1a to each enantiomer of the leucine derivative (RS)-5d in CDCl3 at -20 degrees C were also determined by NMR titration. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
