Abstract
Esters of 1-(1-naphthly)ethylurea derivatives of L-valine, L-leucine, L-tert-leucine, and L-proline are examined as organic-soluble chiral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) resolving agents. The reagents are useful for resolving the spectra of chiral sulfoxides, amines, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Enantiomeric resolution is caused by a combination of diastereomeric effects and the different association constants of the substrates with the resolving agents. Organic-soluble lanthanide species are added to resolving agent-substrate mixtures and often enhance the enantiomeric resolution. The enhancement occurs because the substrate that exhibits weaker binding with the resolving agent is more available to bond to the lanthanide. Broadening in the spectra with lanthanides is reduced at 50°C. Enantiomeric resolution is still observed at elevated temperatures. Chirality 9:1–9, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
