Cellulose and cellulose derivatives are biopolymers which are often used as stationary phases for the separation of enantiomers. Describing the mechanism of such separations is a difficult task due to the complexity of these phases. In the present study, we attempt to elucidate the types of interactions occurring between a diol intermediate for a LTD(4) antagonist and a tris(4-methylbenzoate)-derivatized cellulose stationary phase. Thermodynamic studies indicate that, at low temperatures, the enantioselectivity is entropy driven. At higher temperatures, the separation is enthalpy driven. DSC and IR experiments reveal that the transitions between the enthalpic and the entropic regions of the van't Hoff plots are a result of a change in conformation of the stationary phase. Investigation of chromatographic kinetic parameters reveals that, at low temperature, the second eluted enantiomer undergoes sluggish inclusion interactions. Subtle changes in the structure of the analyte indicates that π-π interactions do not contribute to enantioselectivity. Finally, molecular modeling of (R)- and (S)-diol and the stationary phase suggests that hydrogen bonding is a primary factor in the separation, and the calculated energy values obtained from the molecular modeling correlate well with the chromatographic elution order. |
