Abstract

9

Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) have shown a wide range of applications in variety of domains in

10

chemistry. Because of this, synthesis and applications of CILs have always been areas of

11

interest for research in the last 20 years. Present work describes, the synthesis of six

12

carbohydrate based chiral ionic liquids (CCILs) by following simple procedures and their

13

applications. Structures of the CCILs were confirmed through various analytical techniques

14

like NMR spectroscopy (1H,

15

were tested as chiral recognising agents using sodium salt of Mosher’s acid as model

16

substrate through 19F NMR spectroscopy. Further, CCILs were used as organocatalyst in the

17

enantioselective reduction of aromatic prochiral ketones to achieve corresponding chiral

18

secondary alcohols.

1. Introduction

36

Chiral ionic liquids are a sub-class of ionic liquids which possess similar properties like low

37

melting and boiling points, negligible vapour pressure, high thermal stability, electrical

38

conductivity and reusability [1-5]. CILs can be synthesized by two methods: asymmetric

39

synthesis and natural chiral pool (carbohydrates, amino acids, amino alcohols, alkaloids etc.)

40

[6-8]. Carrying such distinct properties, CILs play major role in wide range of applications

41

such as chiral recognition [9-10], organocatalysis [11-12], background electrolytes in

42

capillary electrophoresis [13-15], stationary phase additives in liquid and gas chromatography

43

[16-17], high performance liquid chromatography [18-19], liquid-liquid extraction [20] and

44

stereoselective polymerization [21-22]. Nowadays, chiral molecular recognition and

45

asymmetric organocatalysis are the two most intensively analysed applications of CILs [23-

46

24]. Both the terms include ‘chirality’ in their meanings and are highly useful for the

47

separation and synthesis of numerous essential enantioselective compounds. Different

48

mechanisms are followed by both the processes to obtain single enantiomer in major amount

49

of the product. Chiral recognition is observed due to the formation of diastereomeric complex

50

between CIL (host) and enantiomers of racemic salt (guest) [25]. According to A. Berthod,

51

chiral recognition involves ‘three point interaction’ model. This model predicts the attractive

52

or repulsive interactions of three groups of the chiral centre with enantiomers of racemic

53

moiety [26]. Different types of non-covalent molecular interactions are generated between the

54

host and guest molecules like electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π − π

55

interactions, van der waals forces and hydrophobic interactions which help in the separation

56

of enantiomers [27]. Several spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques are available to

57

check the separation of enantiomers of the molecules such as NMR spectroscopy,

58

fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, HPLC, gas chromatography, capillary

59

electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, micellar chromatography, supercritical

60

chromatography etc. [28]. Among these, NMR spectroscopy is the easiest and the most

61

reliable technique to determine the separation and enantiopurity of the compound by just

62

observing the chemical shift of the corresponding peaks. Chiral recognition through NMR

63

spectroscopy is based on two main approaches: the use of chiral solvating agent (CSA) and

64

enantiopure chiral derivatizing agent [29].

65

In the present report, CILs have been synthesized from derivative of D-galactose and 1,4-

66

Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), further these CILs have been employed as chiral

67

recognising agents for the enantiodifferentiation of sodium salt of Mosher’s acid and as

68

organocatalyst in the enantioselective reduction reactions of prochiral ketones. Galactose was 2

69

used as precursor for the preparation of CILs because it is abundantly present in nature,

70

thermally stable, easy to handle and number of chiral centres are present in its structure. The

71

synthesized CILs are advantageous in terms of easy availability of chiral carbohydrate

72

precursors, excellent yields, moderate reaction conditions and remarkable applications.

73

Separation of the enantiomers were analysed through

74

enantiomeric excess of the obtained secondary alcohols was determined by gas

75

chromatography.

2. Experimental

77

2.1 Materials and methods

78

All the chemicals: D-galactose (spectrochem), ZnCl2, imidazole, iodine (Alfa aesar),

79

triphenylphosphine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) (Sigma-Aldrich), NaBF4, KPF6,

80

NaBrCH2CH2SO3, NaCF3SO3, NaSbF6 (Sigma-Aldrich), were purchased from commercial

81

suppliers and are of high purity. Acetone was dried over molecular sieves of pore size 0.3nm.

82

Formation of the product was analysed through pre-coated Merck TLC silica gel 60 sheets.

83

Then characterization of the obtained products was done through 1H,

84

NMR spectroscopy on Bruker Avance II, 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. Mass of the

85

synthesized compounds were analysed on Shimadzu GCMS-QP 2010 Ultra in EI mode.

86

Optical activity of the synthesized CILs was recorded on Anton Paar polarimeter MCP 500 at

87

589 nm wavelength at room temperature. As the CILs were solid in nature, so their melting

88

points or decomposition temperatures were taken on digital melting point apparatus and

89

reported uncorrected. In application part of chiral recognition, 19F NMR was recorded on 400

90

MHz JEOL JNM ECS400 and BRUKER AVANCE NEO 500MHz NMR spectrometer.

91

Enantiomeric excess of the optically active secondary alcohols were analysed on Shimadzu

92

GCMS-QP 2010 Ultra in split mode using Rt-βDEXsm column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25

93

µm) using FID as detector.

2.6 General procedure for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones

174

Prochiral ketones (1mmol) were dissolved in a solution of 10 ml methanol. 10 mol% of CIL

175

was added to the above solution and stirred. Sodium borohydride (1.5mmol) was added in

176

portions over a period of 15 mins. The stirring was continued for 2-3 h and then the mixture

177

was extracted with dichloromethane/diethyl ether. Then, the organic layer was dried over

178

Na2SO4 and evaporates it on rotary evaporator to get the product [33]. Enantiomeric excess of

179

the alcohols was determined through GC.*

2.7 Procedure for the chiral recognition using Mosher’s acid salt

204

0.013 mmol (4.6 mg) of sodium salt of Mosher’s acid was dissolved in acetonitrile (1ml) with

205

0.027 mmol (13 mg) of CIL 3. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h, so that anions get

206

exchanged. The solvent was filtered and evaporated. Residual was dissolved in CDCl3 and

207

analysed by NMR [34].

208

3. Results and discussion

209

A new series of carbohydrate based chiral ionic liquids have been synthesized with highly

210

nucleophilic amine, i.e., 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, under mild conditions. D-galactose

211

was used as an initiator for the synthesis of the desired CILs. In the first step, four secondary

212

hydroxyl groups of D-galactose were protected by acetone in presence of ZnCl2 and H2SO4 to

213

give (1). The primary ‘OH’ group of (1) was then replaced with iodide to give (2) which on

214

quaternization with a strong nucleophilic amine DABCO (Scheme 1) to gain CCIL (3). CCIL

215

(3) was then led to anion metathesis reaction with various sodium and potassium salts of

216

inorganic compounds to give CCILs 4-8. All the ILs was solid in nature, possessed nice

217

yields, had high decomposition temperatures, and was non-racemic in nature. Composition

218

and stability of all the CCILs were confirmed through various analytical techniques like 1H,

219

13

220

was detected through polarimetery. All the data has been provided in the supplementary

All the important physical properties of the CCILs (3-8) have been displayed in Table 1.

225

There is little bit variation in the 1H spectra of all the CCILs, peaks corresponding to NCH2-

226

CH(on galactose ring). As observed in 1H spectra of the ILs with anion I- and SbF6-, the peaks 7

227

get merged and give multiplet but in rest of the cases, they are notified separately. It is also

228

possible that these protons might be helpful in chiral recognition application of sodium salt of

229

Mosher’s acid using CCILs as host.

3.1 Application of chiral recognition using Mosher’s acid salt with CCIL (3)

240

CCILs were tested as chiral recognizing agents using sodium salt of Mosher’s acid as analyte.

241

CCIL (3) and Mosher’s salt were mixed in acetonitrile for the anion exchange process for 12

242

h. Residual was dissolved in deuterated CHCl3 and analysed through 19F NMR. To check the

8

243

optimal amount of CCIL required for the recognition property, a variable amount of CCIL

244

was added against the constant amount of Mosher’s acid sodium salt. Data has been provided

245

in Table 2 and

246

the CCIL increased from 8 equiv. to 10 equiv., the magnitude of the splitting decreased from

247

25Hz to 20 Hz and no splitting was observed at lower concentrations of CIL.

251

Chiral recognition property and magnitude of the splitting exhibited by the CILs may also

252

depend upon the anion attached with cationic moiety, as evidenced from the literature that Cl,

253

BF4- and PF6- anions form strong ionic pairs with the guest and provide more

254

enantiodifferentiation than the other anions [35]. Second important reason behind chiral

255

recognition property may be the presence of aromatic ring in the host and guest which gives

256

magnetic anisotropic effect, provide π − π interactions and helps in separation of the

257

enantiomers of the guest [27]. Fig 2 demonstrates the chiral recognition mechanism in terms

258

of the different diastereomeric interactions between the CIL and the racemic Mosher’s acid

259

analyte.

3.2 Application of CCIL (3) as organocatalyst in asymmetric reduction reactions:

263

A number of reports are available in which CILs have been used as organocatalysts and

264

achieved high enantiomeric excess in many important reactions of organic chemistry like 9

265

Baylis-Hillman, Michael Addition, Diels-Alder, Aldol condensation etc. [36]. Similarly, here

266

in the present article, CCIL (3) was used as organocatalyst in the asymmetric reduction of

267

aromatic prochiral ketones to synthesize corresponding enantioselective secondary alcohols.

268

Products were obtained in high yields and produced low to moderate enantiomeric excess as

269

shown in Table 3. Procedure for the synthesis of enantioselective secondary alcohols, using

270

various substrates can be easily described from Scheme 2 shown below.

Above table reveals that racemic to moderate enantiomeric excess has been obtained,

279

acetophenone produced higher ee% than the other ketones and 4-methylacetophenone was

280

obtained as a racemic mixture, this trend in the enantioselectivity has already been described

281

in literature also [37-38]. But the yield of the secondary alcohols was good in all the cases.

282

4. Conclusions

283

It is concluded that carbohydrate-based chiral ionic liquids were synthesized using DABCO

284

as quaternizing agent. Synthesized chiral salts were employed as a chiral recognising agent

285

and as organocatalyst and they perform nicely in both the applications. Precursors used for

286

their synthesis part are natural and present abundantly in nature. So, they can be readily

287

prepared and can replace the expensive enantiodifferentiating agents and organocatalysts in

288

future.
