Several chiral potassium B-alkyl-9-boratabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes $(K\; B-R^*-9-BBNH)$ and potassium B-alkoxy-9-boratabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes $(K \;B-OR^*-9-BBNH)$ were synthesized by treatment of the corresponding trialkylboranes and dialkylmonoalkoxyboranes with a small excess of potassium hydride. The chiral B-alkoxy derivatives generally reduce representative ketones, such as acetophenone and 3-methyl-2-butanone, with greater optical induction than the corresponding B-alkyl derivatives, suggesting the involvement of the oxygen atom in the control process for asymmetric synthesis.

As an effort to elucidate the chiral recognition mechanisms exerted by the (S)-naproxen-derived CSP bearing both π-acidic and π-basic sites, a homologues series of π-basic N-acyl-α-(1-naphthyl)alkylamines and π-acidic N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino esters were prepared and resolved. Based on the chromatographic resolution trends of the homologues series of analytes on the (S)-naproxen-derived chiral stationary phase, we proposed chiral recognition mechanisms which demonstrate that the intercalation of the substituent in the analyte molecule between the strands of bonded phase does significantly influence the enantioselectivity for resolving N-acyl-α-(1-naphthyl)alkylamines but the intercalation process is not involved in resolving N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino esters.

Recently, particular attention has been paid to the chiral separation of amino acid enantiomers because of their different biological activities. Hence, the high optical purity of aromatic amino acids is critical because of their important functions in the central nervous system. For the accurate chiral discrimination. we attempted to exploit the crosschecking each enantiomeric migraion orders of aromatic amino acids measured using (+)-18C6H4TA and (-)-18C6H4TA as the chiral selectors under pH 2.0, tris/citric acid buffer.

An efficiency of Monte Carlo (MC) docking simulations was examined for the prediction of chiral discrimination by cyclodextrins. Docking simulations were performed with various computational parameters for the chiral discrimination of a series of 17 enantiomers by $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) or by 6-amino-6-deoxy-$\beta$-cyclodextrin (am-$\beta$-CD). A total of 30 sets of enantiomeric complexes were tested to find the optimal simulation parameters for accurate predictions. Rigid-body MC docking simulations gave more accurate predictions than flexible docking simulations. The accuracy was also affected by both the simulation temperature and the kind of force field. The prediction rate of chiral preference was improved by as much as 76.7% when rigid-body MC docking simulations were performed at low-temperatures (100 K) with a sugar22 parameter set in the CHARMM force field. Our approach for MC docking simulations suggested that the conformational rigidity of both the host and guest molecule, due to either the low-temperature or rigid-body docking condition, contributed greatly to the prediction of chiral discrimination.

Although chiral separation has been one of the main topics of chromatographic practice for over twenty-five years, it still presents many difficulties. In this work, the ultrasonic dependence of chiral resolution was investigated at various temperatures to improve resolution and reduce analysis time. The chiral resolution was performed on recently commercialized two HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSP 1 and CSP 2) with the analogues of racemic N-acylnaphthylethylamines (1a-d) and racemic amino acid derivatives (2a-c, 3a-c) as analytes. The CSP 1 was prepared from a (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycinol and the CSP 2 was prepared from a (S)-N-3,5-(dinitrobenzoyl) leucine. From the comparison of the chromatographic results under sonic condition with those under non-sonic condition, we found that the ultrasound decreased the elution time in chiral chromatography at all temperatures and improved the enantioselectivity at high temperature (45, 50, 60 ${^{\circ}C}$).

Optical purities of 10 commercialized naproxens prepared from eight Korean drug companies were examined by an optimized chiral HPLC condition. The Chiralcel OD-H column and ChiralHyun-LE(S)-1 column were used as chiral stationary phases and the mixed eluent of hexane/isopropanol/acetic acid as 100:2.85:0.1 was used as a mobile phase for effective enantioseparation. Optical purity values of most samples were higher than 97 percents, only one of them was about 95 percents. The average relative standard deviation of them appeared very small (0.034%).

Numerous drugs are chiral because they possess one or more chiral centers. Enantiomers may differ in their pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and toxicological properties. However, the significance of stereochemistry of drugs in their therapeutic uses has received relatively little attention until recently. The US FDA issued a guideline on stereoisomeric drugs in 1992, and the European agency describes tests for new drug substances which are optically active in an ICH(International Conference of Harmonization) guideline. According to the guidance, enantiomers may differ in their pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and toxicological properties. Therefore, in this paper, we examined the recently published Canadian guidance, stereochemical issues in chiral drug development, which will be references to make a guidance on stereochemical issues in chiral drug development in Korea.

(R)-N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl (DNB) phenylglycinol derived chiral selector was used as a HPLC chiral stationary phase (CSP) for the resolution of racemic N-acylnaphthylalkylamines. In this study, determination of optical purity was performed by both chiral chromatography and NMR spectroscopy by using the (R)-phenylglycinol derived chiral selector. The data of accuracy and precision of each optical purity value are calculated from the results of NMR and HPLC experiments by comparing with true value. Average error of the NMR method was +2.2% with average RSD of 4.54%, while that of HPLC method was -3.5% with average RSD of 3.23%.

A new convenient derivatization method of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) derivatives for chiral resolution was introduced and the enantiomer separation of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as NBD derivatives was performed by normal HPLC using chiral columns based on polysaccharide derivatives. The NBD derivatives were readily prepared by stirring NBD-Cl and ${\alpha}$-amino acid methyl ester HCl with $NaHCO_3$ in ethanol. The performance of Chiralpak IA was superior to the other chiral stationary phases for enantiomer resolution of NBD derivatives of several ${\alpha}$-amino acid methyl esters. Owing to fluorescence detection as well as strong UV absorption, it is expected that the convenient analytical method developed in this study will be very useful for enantiomer separation of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as NBD derivatives on polysaccharide-derived chiral columns.

Various racemic N-protected ${\alpha}-amino$ acids such as N-t-BOC-(tert-butoxycarbonyl), N-CBZ-(benzyloxycarbonyl) and N-FMOC-(9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) ${\alpha}-amino$ acids were resolved as their anilide and 3,5-dimethylanilde derivatives on an HPLC chira l stationary phase (CSP) developed by modifying a commercial (S)-leucine CSP. The chromatographic resolution results were compared to those on the commercial (S)-leucine CSP. The resolutions were greater on the modified CSP than those on the commercial CSP with only one exception, the resolution of N-t-BOC-phenylglycine anilide. In addition, the chromatographic resolution behaviors were quite consistent except for the resolution of N-protected phenylglycine derivatives, the (S)-enantiomers being retained longer. Based on the chromatographic resolution behaviors and with the aid of CPK molecular model studies, we proposed a chiral recognition mechanism for the resolution of N-protected ${\alpha}-amino$ acid derivatives. However, for the resolution of N-protected phenylglycine derivatives, a second chiral recognition mechanism, which competes in the opposite sense with the first chiral recognition mechanism, was proposed. The two competing chiral recognition mechanisms were successfully used in the rationalization of the chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of N-protected phenylglycine derivatives.
