Abstract

Plants of the genus Coreopsis contain rare phenylpropanoids of the 1′-hydroxyeugenol (Eu) type. To investigate the biological activities of these compounds, 1′-hydroxyeugenol isobutyrate (Eu1) and its derivatives were synthesized. The aim was to separate racemic Eul by high-performance liquid chromatography into its enantiomers on a preparative scale, in order subsequently to synthesize the equivalent esters. To control the stereoselectivity of esterification of Eul, analytical systems investigated for Eu1Eu5 can be utilized. The best results were obtained on microcrystalline cellulose triacetate (CTA), Pirkle Convent phenylglycine and Chiracel OK columns. Racemic Eu1 could be separated on a preparative scale on CTA.
