Applications of counter-current chromatography in organic synthesis purification of heterocyclic derivatives of lapachol.

J Chromatogr 1151(1-2):197-202 (2007) PMID 17408681

This work describes the application of counter-current chromatography (CCC) as a useful, fast and economic alternative for the isolation and purification of heterocyclic derivatives from lapachol and beta-lapachone, two naturally occurring compounds from Tabebuia species, and nor-beta-lapachone, a synthetic congener of lapachol. The discussed data comprise four examples of purification of synthetic reactions with different solvent systems - the mixture of the oxazole and the imidazole from beta-lapachone; the quinoxaline from nor-beta-lapachone; and the purification of the N-oxides from the quinoxaline and the phenazine from nor-beta-lapachone from their respective not fully reacted substrates by means of aqueous reversed- and normal-phase elution modes and non-aqueous solvent systems. Traditional purification of these reaction products by silica gel column chromatography demanded a large amount of solvent and time and, in some cases, serious degradation of the products occurred, leading to low yield of the reaction. High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used as an alternative to optimize the process and raise the yield of the reactions.

    Plasmonic color filters employing a single optically-thick nanostructured metal layer have recently generated considerable interest as an alternative to colorant-based color filtering technologies, due to their reliability, ease of fabrication, high color tunability. However, their relatively low t...
