Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for separating and detecting (R)-1,2-propanediol and (S)-1,2-propanediol. Background Technology

[0002] (R)-1,2-propanediol is a key material in the synthesis of the pharmaceutical (R)-(-)-1,2-propanediol (4R)-4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxathiapentane-2,2-dioxide. However, (S)-1,2-propanediol significantly affects the utilization of (R)-1,2-propanediol. Effective separation and detection of (S)-1,2-propanediol content is a crucial step in quality control during pharmaceutical production. The structural formulas are (R)-1,2-propanediol (A) and (S)-1,2-propanediol (B), respectively.

[0003]

[0004] Since 1,2-propanediol has no unsaturated bonds or conjugated groups in its chemical structure, it does not absorb ultraviolet light and cannot be directly separated and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Currently, no relevant analytical method has been found to detect it.

[0005] Therefore, it is crucial to develop an effective method for separating and detecting (R)-1,2-propanediol and (S)-1,2-propanediol to achieve quantitative detection of this enantiomer (S)-1,2-propanediol. Given the current limitations in determining the content of the enantiomer (S)-1,2-propanediol, a more accurate and efficient new method is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0059] Figure 4 This is the HPLC chromatogram of Example 8. Detailed Implementation

[0060] The present invention is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but the invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions were performed according to conventional methods and conditions, or as selected according to the product instructions.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] Sample name: (R)-1,2-propanediol (Source: Bid Pharmaceuticals; Batch number: CPP981; Purity: 99.73% on anhydrous basis)

[0063] Sample name: (S)-1,2-propanediol (Source: Bid Pharmaceuticals; Batch number: DMC044; Purity: 98% on anhydrous basis)

[0064] Sample preparation: Weigh 10 mg each of (R)-1,2-propanediol and (S)-1,2-propanediol, place them in a 10 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with the mobile phase, and shake well to obtain system suitability solution 1.

[0065] Derivatization of 1,2-propanediol: 100 g (10X) of pyridine was added to a 250 mL single-necked flask, followed by 10 g (0.13 mol) of 1,2-propanediol. The mixture was cooled to 0-5 °C, and 55.4 g (0.39 mol) of benzoyl chloride was added dropwise. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred overnight at 10-30 °C. 50 g (5X) of ethyl acetate and 5 g (0.5X) of water were added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was allowed to stand and separate into layers. The organic phase was washed three times with 50 g (15X) of 1N hydrochloric acid each time, using 50 g (5X) each time. The organic phase was also washed three times with 50 g (15X) of 10% sodium bicarbonate each time, using 50 g (5X) each time. Finally, the organic phase was washed once with 50 g (5X) of saturated brine. The mixture was dried at 40-50 °C and evaporated to dryness to obtain 35 g of the product (molar yield 94.6%).

[0066] Note: Molar yield is calculated based on molar quantity; 10X and 5X represent 10 times and 5 times 10g respectively, referring to the ratio of the amount of feed to the mass of the raw materials.

[0067] The products are: derivatized (R)-1,2-propanediol and derivatized (S)-1,2-propanediol, which are substances (A) and (B) respectively.

[0068]

[0069] Weigh 10 mg each of derivatized (R)-1,2-propanediol and (S)-1,2-propanediol, place them in a 10 mL volumetric flask, add mobile phase to dissolve and dilute to the mark, shake well, and use as system suitability solution 2.

[0070] Chromatographic analysis was performed on system suitability solutions 1 and 2.

[0071] A CHIRALPAK AD-H column (250 mm * 4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used at a column temperature of 35 °C, a detection wavelength of 210 nm, and a UV detector. The chromatograph was an Agilent 1100 HPLC system. The mobile phase was n-hexane-isopropanol (98:2), the flow rate was 0.8 mL / min, the injection volume was 10 μL, and the run time was 30 min.

[0072] Chromatograms of system suitability solutions 1 and 2 (see attached) Figure 1 , Figure 2 As can be seen, (R)-1,2-propanediol and (S)-1,2-propanediol, which have not undergone derivatization, did not elute. After derivatization, (S)-1,2-propanediol and (R)-1,2-propanediol elute sequentially. The retention time of (S)-1,2-propanediol is approximately 15.0 minutes (relative retention time approximately 0.95), and the retention time of (R)-1,2-propanediol is approximately 15.8 minutes. The resolution between the two is not less than 1.5, and the theoretical plate number based on the (S)-1,2-propanediol peak is not less than 10,000.
