Abstract:
A novel sensitive and high throughput chiral hydrophilic interaction chromatographic (HILIC) method was developed to separate razoxane enantiomers namely levrazoxane (R-isomer) and dexrazoxane (DEX) in pharmaceutical active ingredient samples. A systematic chiral chromatographic screening system was employed in using multiple HPLC chromatographic modes on various polysaccharide based chiral columns to obtain a potential separation between enantiomers. HPLC separation was achieved using a mobile phase of aqueous 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate and mixture of organic modifiers (70/30, v/v) in the ratio of (5/95, v/v) on an immobilized polysaccharide based chiral stationary phase namely CHIRALPAK IE-3. The chromatographic resolution between the enantiomers was found to be not <8 in the developed method. The values of the limit of detection and limit of quantification of DEX and levrazoxane were found to be 0.0037, 0.011 and 0.0043, 0.013 μgmL-1, respectively. The validated method yielded good results regarding precision, linearity, selectivity and found to be superior in sensitivity when compared to reported method for the accurate quantification of undesired enantiomer.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
Regioselectivity of Electrophilic Additions to Alkenes: Markovnikov's Rule
The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...
Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
