Abstract

The enantiomeric separation of a racemate of 7-oxa-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene sulfonate (OBHS) derivatives, a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM), was obtained using supercritical fluid chromatography in tandem with UV and mass spectrometry (SFC/UV and SFC/MS, respectively). Supercritical CO2 modified with methanol or isopropyl alcohol was used with isopropylamine (IPAm), trimethylamine (TEA), or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as an additive to obtain the enantiomers separations. Both Chiralpak IC and IA were evaluated for the separation of enantiomers. Results showed enantiomers separation can be achieved in less than 5 min with a resolution greater than 1 and 0.9, respectively, for the different OBHS derivatives (compounds A and B) using supercritical CO2 modified with 40% isopropyl alcohol containing 0.25% IPAm and IC column applying isocratic conditions. Similar conditions were used with the semi-preparative Chiralpak IC column to isolate more than 50 mg of each enantiomer. SFC/MS and SFC/UV results showed pure enantiomers were isolated. Method development via SFC was much simpler than those reported in the literature using HPLC.
