NMR Assignments of Six Asymmetrical N-Nitrosamine Isomers Determined in an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient by DFT Calculations.

ABSTRACT: N-nitrosamines, which are well-known pro-mutagens, are found in drugs, pickled food and tobacco. Therefore, controlling their concentrations is very important. When an HPLC, GC or NMR analysis is conducted to investigate certain asymmetrical N-nitrosamines, two sets of signals attributed to the asymmetric N-nitrosamine isomers are usually observed. However, few reports on the NMR assignment of asymmetrical N-nitrosamine isomers have been published. In this study, we investigated the NMR assignments of the Z/E isomers of six asymmetrical N-nitrosamines by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The configuration of the major isomer of asymmetrical N-nitrosamine 3 was the Z-configuration. The configuration of the major isomers of asymmetrical N-nitrosamines 4-7 was the E-configuration. Then, we determined the Z/E ratios of these asymmetrical N-nitrosamines by means of variable temperature (VT) and room temperature (RT) ¹H-NMR experiments. The ratios of the Z/E isomer 3 quickly increased beyond 100% in the VT ¹H NMR experiments. The ratios of Z/E isomers 4-7 were increased in the range of 10-60% in the VT ¹H NMR experiments. The results of this study indicate that identifying the isomers of asymmetrical N-nitrosamine is necessary to control the quality of N-nitrosamines for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

DFT Calculations of 1H NMR Chemical Shifts of Geometric Isomers of Conjugated Linolenic Acids, Hexadecatrienyl Pheromones, and Model Triene-Containing Compounds: Structures in Solution and Revision of NMR Assignments.

Project description:A DFT study of the 1H NMR chemical shifts, δ(1H), of geometric isomers of 18:3 conjugated linolenic acids (CLnAs), hexadecatrienyl pheromones, and model triene-containing compounds is presented, using standard functionals (B3LYP and PBE0) as well as corrections for dispersion interactions (B3LYP-D3, APFD, M06-2X and ωB97XD). The results are compared with literature experimental δ(1H) data in solution. The closely spaced "inside" olefinic protons are significantly more deshielded due to short-range through-space H…H steric interactions and appear close to or even beyond δ-values of aromatic systems. Several regularities of the computational δ(1H) of the olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds are reproduced very accurately for the lowest-energy DFT-optimized single conformer for all functionals used and are in very good agreement with experimental δ(1H) in solution. Examples are provided of literature studies in which experimental resonance assignments deviate significantly from DFT predictions and, thus, should be revised. We conclude that DFT calculations of 1H chemical shifts of trienyl compounds are powerful tools (i) for the accurate prediction of δ(1H) even with less demanding functionals and basis sets; (ii) for the unequivocal identification of geometric isomerism of conjugated trienyl systems that occur in nature; (iii) for tackling complex problems of experimental resonance assignments due to extensive signal overlap; and (iv) for structure elucidation in solution.

Mol-ecular and crystal structure, lattice energy and DFT calculations of two 2'-(nitro-benzo-yloxy)aceto-phenone isomers.

Project description:The two isomers 2'-(4-nitro-benzo-yloxy)aceto-phenone (systematic name: 2-acetyl-phenyl 4-nitro-benzoate) (I) and 2'-(2-nitro-benzo-yloxy)aceto-phenone (systematic name: 2-acetyl-phenyl 2-nitro-benzoate) (II), both C15H11NO5, with para and ortho positions of the nitro substituent have been crystallized and studied. It is evident that the variation in the position of the nitro group causes a significant difference in the mol-ecular conformations: the dihedral angle between the aromatic fragments in the mol-ecule of I is 84.80?(4)°, while that in the mol-ecule of II is 6.12?(7)°. Diffraction analysis revealed the presence of a small amount of water in the crystal of I. DFT calculations of the mol-ecular energy demonstrate that the ortho substituent causes a higher energy for isomer II, while crystal lattice energy calculations show that the values are almost equal for two isomers.

Assistance of DFT calculations on the design and rationalization of active pharmaceutical ingredients synthesis - Michael addition-isomerization steps in Oseltamivir synthesis.

Project description:The Michael addition step and the following C5 isomerization in Hayashi's synthesis of Oseltamivir was studied by means of a DFT mechanistic study. These steps are crucial for the viability of the process where the formation of a single stereoisomer is required. The results indicate that the addition reaction is under thermodynamic and not kinetic control and that the key factor determining the reaction stereoselectivity are the stereochemical constraints imposed by all substituents in the cyclohexane ring. The DFT results indicate that cyclohexylthiol should behave similarly to p-toluylthiol, the one actually employed, and tert-butylthiol should increase the ratio between isomers favoring the desired S configuration of the C5 atom. This work shows that DFT studies can be useful in the selection of a reactant to improve stereoselectivity of a chemical step.

DFT-based Raman spectral study of astaxanthin geometrical isomers.

Project description:Astaxanthin is a carotenoid widely used in food additives, nutritional product and medicines, which shows many physiological functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive and anti-diabetic activities. It has been recognized that astaxanthin has all-trans and nine cis isomers, and these geometrical isomers have very different biological activities. The process of selective enrichment, metabolism and isomerization of astaxanthin in animals remains to be studied. Therefore, identifying isomers and obtaining their structural parameters are important for understanding the active mechanism of different molecular isomers. Although the traditional methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to distinguish these isomers, these methods generally require considerable testing time, cost, sample volume, and hardly be applied in vivo. In this work, Raman spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculation was introduced to study different geometrical isomers of astaxanthin. The theoretical and experimental Raman spectra are in agreement, and we have demonstrated that all the known ten geometrical isomers of astaxanthin can be readily distinguished using this spectroscopic approach. The astaxanthin molecular vibrational modes, geometric structures, energies of ten geometric isomers are systematically scrutinized. Moreover, a lot of structural and Raman problems unsolved previously have been solved by the DFT-based spectral analysis. Therefore, this work provides an effective way for identification of different astaxanthin geometrical isomers, and may have important significance for promoting the research of astaxanthin isomers on biological property mechanisms and related applications in food molecular science.

DFT Calculations of 1H- and 13C-NMR Chemical Shifts of Geometric Isomers of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (18:2 ω-7) and Model Compounds in Solution.

Project description:A density functional theory (DFT) study of the 1H- and 13C-NMR chemical shifts of the geometric isomers of 18:2 ω-7 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and nine model compounds is presented, using five functionals and two basis sets. The results are compared with available experimental data from solution high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The experimental 1H chemical shifts exhibit highly diagnostic resonances due to the olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds. The "inside" olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds are deshielded than those of the "outside" protons. Furthermore, in the cis/trans isomers, the signals of the cis bonds are more deshielded than those of the trans bonds. These regularities of the experimental 1H chemical shifts of the olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds are reproduced very accurately for the lowest energy DFT optimized single conformer, for all functionals and basis sets used. The other low energy conformers have negligible effects on the computational 1H-NMR chemical shifts. We conclude that proton NMR chemical shifts are more discriminating than carbon, and DFT calculations can provide a valuable tool for (i) the accurate prediction of 1H-NMR chemical shifts even with less demanding functionals and basis sets; (ii) the unequivocal identification of geometric isomerism of CLAs that occur in nature, and (iii) to derive high resolution structures in solution.

Double hybrid DFT calculations with Slater type orbitals.

Project description:On a comprehensive database with 1,644 datapoints, covering several aspects of main-group as well as of transition metal chemistry, we assess the performance of 60 density functional approximations (DFA), among them 36 double hybrids (DH). All calculations are performed using a Slater type orbital (STO) basis set of triple-? (TZ) quality and the highly efficient pair atomic resolution of the identity approach for the exchange- and Coulomb-term of the KS matrix (PARI-K and PARI-J, respectively) and for the evaluation of the MP2 energy correction (PARI-MP2). Employing the quadratic scaling SOS-AO-PARI-MP2 algorithm, DHs based on the spin-opposite-scaled (SOS) MP2 approximation are benchmarked against a database of large molecules. We evaluate the accuracy of STO/PARI calculations for B3LYP as well as for the DH B2GP-PLYP and show that the combined basis set and PARI-error is comparable to the one obtained using the well-known def2-TZVPP Gaussian-type basis set in conjunction with global density fitting. While quadruple-? (QZ) calculations are currently not feasible for PARI-MP2 due to numerical issues, we show that, on the TZ level, Jacob's ladder for classifying DFAs is reproduced. However, while the best DHs are more accurate than the best hybrids, the improvements are less pronounced than the ones commonly found on the QZ level. For conformers of organic molecules and noncovalent interactions where very high accuracy is required for qualitatively correct results, DHs provide only small improvements over hybrids, while they still excel in thermochemistry, kinetics, transition metal chemistry and the description of strained organic systems.

Relativistic Four-Component DFT Calculations of Vibrational Frequencies.

Project description:We investigate the effect of relativity on harmonic vibrational frequencies. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian have been performed for 15 hydrides (H2X, X = O, S, Se, Te, Po; XH3, X = N, P, As, Sb, Bi; and XH4, X = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) as well as for HC≡CPbH3. The vibrational frequencies have been calculated using finite differences of the molecular energy with respect to geometrical distortions of the nuclei. The influences of the choice of basis set, exchange-correlation functional, and step length for the numerical differentiation on the calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies have been tested, and the method has been found to be numerically robust. Relativistic effects are noticeable for the heavier congeners H2Te and H2Po, SbH3 and BiH3, and SnH4 and PbH4 and are much more pronounced for the vibrational modes with higher frequencies. Spin-orbit effects constitute a very small fraction of the total relativistic effects, except for H2Te and H2Po. For HC≡CPbH3 we find that only the frequencies of the modes with large contributions from Pb displacements are significantly affected by relativity.

Employing Constant Rate Filtration To Assess Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Washing Efficiency.

Project description:Washing is a key step in pharmaceutical isolation to remove unwanted crystallization solvents and dissolved impurities (mother liquor) from the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) filter cake to ensure the purity of the product whilst maximizing yield. It is therefore essential to avoid both product dissolution and impurity precipitation during washing, especially precipitation of impurities caused by the wash solvent acting as an antisolvent, affecting purity and causing agglomerate formation. This work investigates the wash solvent flow through a saturated filter cake to optimize washing by displacement, taking account of diffusional mechanisms and manipulating the wash contact time. Constant rate filtration/washing is employed in this study using readily available laboratory equipment. One advantage of using constant rate filtration in this work is that it allows for the collection of separate aliquots during all stages of filtration, washing, and deliquoring of the API cake. This enables a wash profile to be obtained, as well as providing an overall picture on the mass of API lost during isolation and so can assist in optimizing the washing strategy. Particle size analysis of damp cake obtained straight after washing is also performed using laser diffraction. This allowed for agglomerate formation caused during washing to be distinguished from agglomeration that would be caused by subsequent drying of the wet filter cake. This work aims at improving pharmaceutical product quality, increasing sustainability, and reducing manufacturing cost.

Enantioselective Organophotocatalytic Telescoped Synthesis of a Chiral Privileged Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient.

Project description:The continuous flow, enantioselective, organophotoredox catalytic asymmetric alkylation of aldehydes was studied, by using a homemade, custom-designed photoreactor for reactions under cryogenic conditions. Going from microfluidic conditions up to a 10 mL mesofluidic reactor, an increase of productivity by almost 18000 % compared to the batch reaction was demonstrated. Finally, for the first time, a stereoselective photoredox organocatalytic continuous flow reaction in a fully telescoped process for an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)synthesis was successfully achieved. The final process consists of four units of operation: visible light-driven asymmetric catalytic benzylation under continuous flow, inline continuous work-up, neutralisation and a final oxidative amidation step afforded the pharmaceutically active molecule in 95 % e.e.
