Separation of Enantiomers of Compound 435.
Compound 435 obtained from Example 8 above (0.32 g) was dissolved in a minimal amount of iPrOH (5 mL, HPLC grade, heating was required) and diluted with hexane (4 mL, HPLC grade). Enantiomer separation was achieved using a Waters HPLC system equipped with a preparative Daicel CHIRALPAK® AD column (20×250 mm). For the first minute of the run, the mobile phase was 80% hexane and 20% iPrOH along with 0.1% diethylamine. After the first minute a gradient to 75% hexane and 25% iPrOH along with 0.1% diethylamine over 15 minutes was used, followed by holding at this solvent ratio for 17 minutes at a flow rate of 18 mL/min. This method resulted in baseline separation with Compound 435(R) eluting first (21.9 min), followed by Compound 435(S) (25.2 min). Fractions containing each enantiomer were concentrated under reduced pressure to give 0.12 g each of 435(R) (mp 108.0-108.1° C.) and 435(S) (mp107.6-107.7° C.) as off-white solids.
