Separation agent comprising acyl- or carbamoyl-substituted polysaccharide

The invention relates to a separation agent which comprises a polysaccharide derivative having an acyl or a carbamoyl group as a substituent for a hydroxyl group. It has a conjugated .pi.-bond system. The separation agent of the invention is useful for separation of various chemical substances, especially optical resolution of optical isomers. In addition, it serves for separation of geometrical isomers and polymers having different molecular weight ranges from each other. They have not easily been separated in the state of the prior art.
The resolving agent of the present invention can be used for separation of all sorts of chemical substances, particularly for optical resolution of them.
It has been well known that optical isomers of a chemical compound have effects different from each other in vivo generally. Therefore, it is an important problem to obtain chemically pure compounds for the purposes of improving medicinal effects per unit dose of the compounds or removing adverse reactions thereof and damage from them in medical, agricultural and biochemical fields. A mixture of optical isomers has been optically resolved by preferential crystallization process or diastereomer process. However, varieties of the compounds capable of being optically resolved by these processes are limited and these processes require a long time and much labor. Under these circumstances, development of a technique of conducting the optical resolution by an easy chromatographic process has eagerly been demanded.
Chromatographic optical resolution has been investigated from old times. However, resolving agents developed heretofore have problems that they have only an unsatisfactory resolution efficiency, compounds to be resolved should have a specific functional group or their stability is only poor. Thus, it has been difficult to optically resolve all sorts of compounds with satisfactory results.
An object of the present invention is to provide a resolving agent having a chemical structure different from those of known resolving agents and, therefore, resolving characteristics different from those of the known ones or a higher faculty of discriminating and identifying the optical isomers.
Particularly, the asymmetric structure of the polysaccharide is amplified by modifying it with a substituent having a sufficient length so as to obtain a higher faculty of identifying optical isomers.
The above-mentioned object of the present invention is attained by an agent for separation which contains as an effective component a polysaccharide derivative having as a substituent an acyl group of the following formula (1) or a carbamoyl group of the following formula (2): ##STR2## wherein R represents an atomic group having a nucleus comprising a conjugated .pi.-bond system in which the number of bonds interposed between an atom contained therein and bonded with the carbonyl or amino group and an atom contained in the .pi.-bond system and most distant from said atom is at least 5 even in the shortest route.
The resolving agent of the invention exhibits preferably different powers of adsorbing different optical isomers of a given compound.
In the identification of the asymmetric structure of a cellulose derivative such as cellulose tribenzoate or cellulose trisphenylcarbamate, an asymmetric space formed by adjacent substituents on C.sub.2 and C.sub.3 of the cellulose may contribute most greatly to the identification. Therefore, the inventors thought that the enlargement of said space would increase the faculty of identifying optical isomers. After intensive investigations, the inventors have found surprisingly that the polysaccharide derivatives having the above-mentioned substituents have quite excellent faculty of identifying optical isomers. The present invention has been completed on the basis of this finding.
The term "polysaccharide" herein involves any optically active polysaccharide selected from the group consisting of synthetic, natural and modified natural polysaccharides. Among them, those having highly regular bonds are preferred. Examples of them include .beta.-1, 4-glucans (celluloses), .alpha.-1, 4-glucans (amylose and amylopectin), .alpha.-1, 6-glucan (dextran), .beta.-1, 6-glucan (pustulan), .beta.-1, 3-glucans (such as curdlan and schizophyllan), .alpha.-1, 3-glucan, .beta.-1, 2-glucan (Crown gall polysaccharide), .beta.-1, 4-galactan, .beta.-1, 4-mannan, .alpha.-1, 6-mannan, .beta.-1, 2-fructan (inulin), .beta.-2, 6-fructan (levan), .beta.-1, 4-xylan, .beta.-1, 3-xylan, .beta.-1, 4-chitosan, .beta.-1, 4-N-acetylchitosan (chitin), pullulan, agarose and alginic acid. Still preferred ones are those capable of easily yielding highly pure polysaccharides, such as cellulose, amylose, .beta.-1, 4-chitosan, chitin, .beta.-1, 4-mannan, .beta.-1, 4-xylan, inulin and curdlan.
These polysaccharides have a number-average degree of polymerization (average number of pyranose or furanose rings in the molecule) of at least 5, preferably at least 10. Though there is provided no upper limit of the degree of polymerization, it is preferably 500 or less from the viewpoint of easiness of the handling.
In the substituents of the polysaccharide derivatives of the following formulae according to the present invention: ##STR3## R represents an atomic group comprising a conjugated .pi.-bond system having at least a given length and capable of conjugation with the carbonyl or carboxyamino group. The term "at least a given length" herein means that the number of bonds interposed between an atom bonded with the carbonyl or carboxyamino group and an atom contained in the conjugated .pi.-bond system and most distant from said atom is at least 5 in even the shortest route. The term ".pi.-bond system" refers to not only usual double and triple bonds, but also lone electron pairs and vacant orbitals capable of conjugation with them. For example, in a p-methoxybenzoate group of the following formula: ##STR4## the conjugated .pi.-bond system corresponding to R is conjugated with the carbonyl group. However, in this structure, the number of bonds interposed between an atom bonded with the carbonyl group, i.e., C.sub.1, and an atom contained in the conjugated .pi.-bond system and most distant from said atom (C.sub.1), i.e., an oxygen atom of the methoxy group, is 4. Therefore, this structure is not included in the present invention. Examples of R included in the invention are as follows: (1) substituted phenyl groups such as those shown below: ##STR5##
(2) phenylethenyl and phenylethynyl groups: ##STR6##
(3) condensed aromatic ring and condensed hetero aromatic ring groups such as those shown below: ##STR7##
(4) condensed quinones such as those shown below: ##STR8## as well as substituted derivatives of them. The number, position and variety of the substituents are not particularly limited.
30 to 100%, preferably 85 to 100%, of the hydroxyl groups of the polysaccharides forming the derivatives should be acylated or carbamoylated in the present invention. The balance of the hydroxyl groups may be present in the form of free hydroxyl groups or they may be esterified, etherified or carbamoylated so far as the resolving capacity of the resolving agent is not damaged.
When a styryl or phenyl group is introduced into a cellulose or amylose triphenylcarbamate derivative, a high liquid-crystallizability or crystallizability is expectable, since the side chains are arranged regularly and the rigidity of the main chain is increased. Therefore, it was believed that these triphenyl derivatives might have an interesting optical resolution power.
Since an interesting change in the optical resolution power was observed when chloroform was added to the eluent, the effect of using chloroform with these polysaccharide derivatives was also investigated.
It also was believed that when ##STR9## is introduced into position 4 of a cellulose triphenylcarbamate derivative, the conjugated system of the phenyl group would become larger and the characteristics of the side chain as the mesogenic group would become more remarkable. On the basis of this idea, cellulose tris[4-(2-phenylethynyl)phenylcarbamate] was examined with respect to its optical resolution power.
The optical resolution powers of triphenylcarbamates having an phenoxy group as a substituent also were investigated.
To synthesize the polysaccharide derivative used in the present invention, a corresponding polysaccharide is pretreated suitably, if necessary, and then reacted with an acylating agent or carbamoylating agent. The acylating agents include usually corresponding acid halides, acid anhydrides and mixed anhydrides with other strong acids. Usually, the reaction is conducted in the presence of a catalyst comprising a tertiary amine, particularly pyridine or an acidic substance. The carbamoylating agents include usually corresponding isocyanates. The reaction proceeds easily in the presence of a catalyst comprising a tertiary amine or a Lewis acid. In producing mixed derivatives, the substituted polysaccharide is reacted with these reagents or, alternatively, the polysaccharide is reacted with these reagents and then with other esterifying, etherifying or carbamoylating agent (see, for example, "Dai-Yuki Kagaku", `Tennen Kobunshi Kagaku I and II`, published by Asakura Book Store, and R. L. Whistler "Methods in Carbohydrate Chemistry" III, IV and V, published by Academic Press).
The resolving agent of the present invention is used for the purpose of resolving compounds and optical isomers thereof generally according to a chromatographic method such as gas, liquid or thin layer chromatographic method. Further, the resolving agent may be used in membrane resolution method.
In using the resolving agent of the present invention in liquid chromatography, there may be employed a method wherein the powdered resolving agent is packed in a column, a method wherein a capillary column is coated with the resolving agent, a method wherein a capillary is made from the resolving agent to use the inner wall thereof and a method wherein the resolving agent is spun and bundled up to form a column. Among them, the method wherein the powdered resolving agent is employed is most general.
The resolving agent is powdered preferably by crushing or by forming beads. The particle size which varies depending on the size of a column or plate used is 1 .mu.m to 10 .mu.m, preferably 1 to 300 .mu.m. The particles are preferably porous.
It is preferred to support the resolving agent on a carrier so as to improve the durability thereof to pressure, to prevent swelling or shrinkage thereof due to solvent exchange or to reduce the number of theoretical plates. The suitable size of the carrier which varies depending on the size of the column or plate used is generally 1 .mu.m to 10 .mu.m, preferably 1 to 300 .mu.m. The carrier is preferably porous and has an average pore diameter of 10 .ANG. to 100 .mu.m, preferably 50 to 50,000 .ANG.. The amount of the resolving agent to be supported is 1 to 100 wt. %, preferably 5 to 50 wt. %, based on the carrier.
The resolving agent may be supported on the carrier by either chemical or physical means. The physical means includes one wherein the resolving agent is dissolved in a suitable solvent, the resulting solution is mixed with a carrier homogeneously and the solvent is distilled off by means of a gaseous stream under reduced pressure or heating and one wherein the resolving agent is dissolved in a suitable solvent, the resulting solution is mixed homogeneously with a carrier and the mixture is dispersed in a liquid incompatible with said solvent by stirring to diffuse the solvent. The resolving agent thus supported on the carrier may be crystallized, if necessary, by heat treatment or the like. Further, the state of the supported resolving agent and accordingly its resolving power can be modified by adding a small amount of a solvent thereto to temporarily swell or dissolve it and then distilling the solvent off.
Both porous organic and inorganic carriers may be used, though the latter is preferred. The suitable porous organic carriers are those comprising a high molecular substance such as polystyrene, polyacrylamide or polyacrylate. The suitable porous inorganic carriers are synthetic or natural products such as silica, alumina, magnesia, titanium oxide, glass, silicate or kaolin. They may be surface-treated so as to improve their affinity for the resolving agent. The surface treatment may be effected with an organosilane compound or by plasma polymerization.
In liquid or thin layer chromatography, any developer may be used except those in which the resolving agent is soluble or which are reactive with the resolving agent. In case the resolving agent has been bound to the carrier by the chemical process or it has been insolubilized by crosslinking, any solvent other than a reactive liquid may be used. As a matter of course, it is preferred to select the developer after examination of various developers since the resolving characteristics of chemical substances or optical isomers vary depending on the developer used.
In the thin layer chromatography, a layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 100 mm and comprising the resolving agent in the form of particles of about 0.1 .mu.m to 0.1 mm and, if necessary, a small amount of a binder is formed on a supporting plate.
In the membrane resolution process, the resolving agent is used in the form of a hollow filament or film.
Effects of the invention
The resolving agent of the present invention containing the polysaccharide having an acyl or carbamoyl substituent as the effective component is effective for the resolution of various compounds. Particularly, it is quite effective for the resolution of optical isomers which are quite difficult to resolve. Either one of the optical isomers to be resolved is selectively adsorbed on the resolving agent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The remarkable effects of the resolving agents of the present invention are apparent from comparison of separation factor .alpha. obtained in the following examples with those of conventional cellulose resolving agents.
For example, in the optical resolution of transstilbene oxide according to chromatography using a mixture of hexane and 2-propanol in a ratio of 9:1 as the eluent, the .alpha. value obtained when cellulose tri-.beta.-naphthoate was used was 1.58 which was far higher than the .alpha. value of 1.42 obtained when cellulose tribenzoate, i.e., a known cellulose resolving agent, was used. In the optical resolution of Troger's base, through the highest .alpha. value obtainable with known cellulose resolving agents was 1.40 (obtained with tribenzylcellulose, a higher .alpha. value can be obtained with the resolving agent of the present invention. More particularly, .alpha. values of 2.82, 1.84 and 1.42 are obtained with cellulose tricinnamate, trisbiphenylcarboxylate and trisphenylazobenzoate, respectively. From this fact, the effects of the substituents in the resolving agent of the present invention are evident.
The following examples will further illustrate the present invention, which by no means limit the invention. In the examples, the terms are defined as follows: ##EQU1##

C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and sulfuric acid was neutralized with an excess aqueous magnesium acetate solution. The resulting solution was added to 3 liters of water to precipitate cellulose triacetate having a reduced molecular weight. After filtration and collection with a glass filter (G3), it was dispersed in 1 liter of water. After filtration followed by vacuum drying, the obtained product was dissolved in methylene chloride and reprecipitated from 2-propanol. The dissolution and the reprecipitation were repeated twice to effect the purification. The product was dried. According to the IR and NMR spectra, the product was identified as cellulose triacetate.

The vapor pressure osmometry was conducted with a vapor pressure osmometer Corona 117 using a solvent mixture of chloroform/1% ethanol.
60 grams of the obtained cellulose triacetate was dispersed in 200 ml of 2-propanol. 60 ml of 100% hydrazine hydrate (a product of Nakarai Kagaku Co.) was added dropwise slowly to the dispersion under gentle stirring. The suspension was maintained at 60.degree. C. for 3 hours and the resulting cellulose was filtered through a glass filter, washed with acetone repeatedly and vacuum-dried at 60.degree. C.

The compounds 1 to 4 had a poor solubility in solvents and were scarcely soluble also in chloroform. Chloroform was added to the eluent to vary the composition thereof in the optical resolution. The results of using cellulose tris(4-styrylphenylcarbamate), cellulose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate), amylose tris(4-styrylphenylcarbamate) and amylose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate) as separating agents for the above-mentioned six racemic compounds are shown in Tables 11-14 respectively.

As the relative amount of chloroform to the cellulose tris(4-styrylphenylcarbamate) or tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate) increased, the elution time shortened. Although the .alpha. values thereof for the racemic compounds (8), (9) and (10) were improved, those for (5) and (6) scarcely changed and that for the compound (7) was reduced.
When amylose tris(4-styrylphenylcarbamate) was used, the .alpha. values for the racemic compounds (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) were increased. When amylose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate) was used, the .alpha. values for the racemic compounds (6), (8), (9) and (10) were increased. Particularly, the .alpha. value was considerably increased when a combination of racemic compound (8) with amylose tris(4-styrylphenylcarbamate) or tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate) was used.
When hexane/2-propanol/chloroform (78:2:20) was used as the eluent, the elution time for racemic compound (8) was quite long and only one enantiomer was eluted even after 100 min with cellulose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate), amylose tris(4-styrylphenylcarbamate) or amylose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate).
For comparison, the results of the resolution obtained by using amylose triphenylcarbamate as the packing material and varying the proportion of the components of the eluent are shown in Table 15. As the relative amount of chloroform was increased, the elution time was reduced. Though a slight increase in the A value was observed for racemic compound (8), the values for other racemic compounds were substantially unchanged.

In Table 16, differences between the .alpha. value of the packing material obtained when hexane/2-propanol/chloroform (75:5:20) was used as the eluent and that obtained when hexane/2-propanol (90:10) was used are shown in parentheses. For comparison, the .alpha. values of cellulose and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamates) having a high optical resolution capacity are also shown. When the racemic compound (8) and amylose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate) were used, the .alpha. value was the highest, i.e., 4.11. When the racemic compound (9) and amylose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate were used, the .alpha. value was 1.55 and when the racemic compound (10) and cellulose tris(4-biphenylylcarbamate) were used, the .alpha. value was 1.33, which were far higher than those obtained when cellulose and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) were used.

3 grams of silica gel (Ra-227-1) having a particle diameter of 7 .mu.m and a pore diameter of 10 .ANG. which had been surface-treated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was uniformly moistened five times with a solution of 0.75 g of cellulose tris(2-phenylethynylphenylcarbamate) in 20-ml of THF, the solution being divided into five portions and each portion being used each time. The product was sufficiently dried in a vacuum line in an evaporator. After the particle size classification with hexane/2-propanol, the product was packed in a stainless steel column having a length of 25 cm and an inner diameter of 0.46 cm by the slurry packing method. The number of theoretical stages was 2400 and the dead time was 6.08 min.
A solution of cellulose tris[4-(2-phenylethynyl)phenylcarbamate] in THF was cast on a slide glass plate and observed with a polarizing microscope to reveal that it was crystalline. 0.305 mg/.mu.l solution of cellulose tris[4-(2-phenylethynyl)phenylcarbamate] in THF was prepared and the liquid-crystal property thereof was examined. The solution was green, since cellulose tris[4-(2-phenylethynyl)phenylcarbamate] per se was a green polymer. After a few days, the solution was slightly pearly.
Though the exact .sigma.-value of ##STR53## was unknown, it was supposedly a weakly electron-attractive group, since acetone elution time thereof was 10.97 min.
It was supposed that when chloroform was added to the eluent, chloroform surrounded the phenyl group owing to the interaction between chloroform and the phenyl group to change the resolution power. Therefore, hexane/2-propanol/chloroform (90:5:5) was used as the eluent. As a result, the resolution power was higher than that of hexane/2-propanol (90:10), though the extent of the increase varied depending on the ##STR54## and Troger base was reduced (see Table 17).

EXAMPLE 16
Silica gel (RA 227-1) having a particle diameter of 7 .mu.m and a pore diameter of 4000 .ANG. which had been surface-treated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was used. 0.75 grams of cellulose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate) was dissolved in 10 ml of THF. 3.02 grams of the surface-treated silica gel (RA 227-1) was uniformly moistened with about 2.5 ml of THF Solution and then sufficiently dried in a vacuum line in an evaporator. This procedure was repeated four times. 0.76 g of amylose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate) was dissolved in 10 ml of THF. The same treatment as that of cellulose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate) was conducted except that 3.02 grams of RA 227-1 was used.
The packing material prepared in the above step was subjected to particle size classification with hexane/2-propanol and packed in a stainless steel column having a length of 25 cm and an inner diameter of 0.46 cm by the slurry packing method.
When 0.5 ml/min of hexane/2-propanol (90:10) (25.degree. C.) was used as the eluent, the number of theoretical plates for benzene was 2700 [cellulose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate)] and 3000 [amylose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate)].
Cellulose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate) formed liquid crystals in THF. The high crystallinity of this compound was confirmed by casting on a glass plate followed by observation with a polarizing microscope. Amylose carbamate was also cast from THF and observed with a polarizing microscope to reveal that it formed no liquid crystals, though it formed crystals.
Since both compounds were highly soluble in chloroform, hexane/2-propanol (90:10) free from chloroform was used as the eluent.
In the results of the resolution obtained with cellulose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate), the resolution result for racemic compound 13 was better (.alpha.=1.53) than those obtained with cellulose tris(3,5 dimethylphenylcarbamate) and cellulose tris(3,5 dichlorophenylcarbamate) and .alpha. values for racemic compounds 15 and 16 were as high as 1.81 and 1.72, respectively. It is apparent from Table 18 that the .alpha. values for racemic compounds 16, 17 and ##STR65## were quite as high as 1.72, 3.04 and 1.32, respectively. Thus, high resolution capacities were obtained when the anilide compounds were used. The .alpha. values, for ##STR66## was 1.29.
In the results of the resolution obtained with amylose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate), the racemic compounds which could not be resolved with amylose tris(3,5 dimethylphenylcarbamate) and amylose tris(3,5 dichlorophenylcarbamate) could be resolved with amylose tris(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamate), though the .alpha. values were low (.alpha.=1.08 and 1.16, respectively). In the results of the resolution of racemic compounds 8 and 13, excellent resolution results (.alpha.=2.24) and 2.12) were obtained.
