Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a complex used in a
separating agent for optical isomers.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] It has recently become more and more important to obtain
large amounts of optical isomers in a short time period with ease
in terms of the research and development of drugs and
high-performance materials.
[0003] Optical resolution by chromatography has conventionally been
attracting attention remarkably in various fields including
analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, medicine, and pharmacy,
and a large number of chiral stationary phases have been reported
in the world. In particular, for example, an ester derivative or
carbamate derivative obtained by chemically modifying a
polysaccharide such as cellulose or amylose as an optically active
polymer serves as a chiral stationary phase having a high optical
resolution, and a filler for chromatography using such derivative
has been known to the public. A filler for chromatography using
such polymer compound derivative is used in a state of being
carried by a carrier such as silica gel for the purposes of, for
example, increasing the ratio at which a column is filled with the
filler, and improving the ease of handling and mechanical strength
of the filler.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a filler for
chromatography obtained by causing a carrier such as silica to
carry a cellulose derivative containing an aromatic ring. In
addition, Patent Document 2 describes a filler for chromatography
obtained by causing a carrier such as silica to carry an
alkyl-substituted phenylcarbamate derivative of a polysaccharide in
which 80 to 100% of the hydroxy groups thereof are substituted.
Further, Patent Document 3 describes a separating adsorbent
obtained by causing a carrier formed of porous silica gel to carry
an optically active polymer.
[0005] However, the above conventional filler for chromatography
using a polymer compound such as a polysaccharide derivative has
the following constitution: mainly an inorganic carrier is caused
to carry the polymer compound derivative on itself by physical
adsorption. Such filler for chromatography involves the following
constraint: a solvent that dissolves the polymer compound such as a
polysaccharide derivative cannot be used as a mobile phase. In
addition, it is difficult to separate large amounts of optical
isomers in one stroke with the filler because only the molecules of
the polymer compound present at the surface on the inorganic
carrier contribute to optical resolution.
[0006] In order that the filler may serve as a separating agent for
optical isomers suitable for fractionating large amounts of optical
isomers in one stroke, for example, attempts have been made to
increase the amount of the polymer compound derivative having an
ability to separate optical isomers carried by the inorganic
carrier, and a separating agent in which such attempts are made has
been developed (see, for example, Patent Document 4).
[0007] However, the amount of the polymer compound derivative which
the inorganic carrier can carry on itself is limited, and there has
been room for further development of a separating agent optimum for
the separation of large amounts of optical isomers.
[0008] Meanwhile, separating agents for optical isomers each using
no inorganic carrier and each formed only of a polymer compound
derivative have also been developed (see, for example, Patent
Documents 5 and 6). Any such separating agent allows one to
separate larger amounts of optical isomers in one stroke than those
in the case of such filler as described above because the
separating agent is formed only of a portion that contributes to
the separation of the optical isomers.
[0009] However, any such separating agent for optical isomers has a
low mechanical strength, and its use under high pressures at high
flow rates is restricted because the separating agent is formed
only of an organic compound. In addition, the following problem
arises: a solvent used cannot be changed during the analysis of the
optical isomers because the organic compound swells and contracts.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0016] The present invention provides a complex for use in the
production of a separating agent for optical isomers having the
following characteristics: a ratio of the molecules of a polymer
compound derivative that contribute to the separation of optical
isomers in the separating agent for optical isomers is made larger
than a conventional one, and the separating agent has a high
mechanical strength.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0017] The present invention has been made in view of the above
circumstances, and the inventors of the present invention have
developed a complex that can be used in a separating agent for
optical isomers as a result of their extensive studies. The
inventors have found that: since the complex includes a structure
in which an element such as silicon and a polymer compound
derivative are three-dimensionally crosslinked as described later,
a solvent to be used is not limited, and the complex can not only
be excellent in solvent resistance but also show an increased ratio
of the molecules of the polymer compound derivative that contribute
to the separation of optical isomers; and, when the complex is used
in a separating agent for optical isomers, the separating agent
shows an increased mechanical strength.

following procedure is used in the separation of optical isomers: a
polymer compound derivative obtained by modifying part of the
hydroxy or amino groups of a polymer compound having the hydroxy or
amino groups and a specific compound to be described later are
caused to react with each other. To be additionally specific, the

b.3-n] (V)
where R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, and R.sup.6 each independently
represent an alkyl group which has 1 to 18 carbon atoms and which
may have a branch or an aryl group which may have a substituent,
and X represents an alkylene group which has 1 to 18 carbon atoms
and which may have a branch or an arylene group which may have a
substituent.
[0019] In addition, the present invention provides a complex
obtained by the following procedure, the complex being in a bead
form: a polymer compound derivative obtained by modifying part of
the hydroxy or amino groups of a polymer compound having the
hydroxy or amino groups with a compound represented by the above
general formula (I) and one or more kinds of compounds represented
by the above general formulae (II) to (V) are caused to react with
each other.
[0020] In addition, the present invention provides a method of
producing a complex, the method including the steps of: dissolving
a polymer compound derivative obtained by modifying part of the
hydroxy or amino groups of a polymer compound having the hydroxy or
amino groups with a compound represented by the above general
formula (I) and one or more kinds of compounds represented by the
above general formulae (II) to (V) in an organic solvent to prepare
a solution; and dropping the solution into an aqueous solution of a
surfactant or a proton-donating solvent while stirring the aqueous
solution or the solvent.
[0021] Further, the present invention provides a separating agent
for optical isomers, the separating agent containing a complex
obtained by the following procedure: a polymer compound derivative
obtained by modifying part of the hydroxy or amino groups of a
polymer compound having the hydroxy or amino groups with a compound
represented by the above general formula (I) and one or more kinds
of compounds represented by the above general formulae (II) to (V)
are caused to react with each other.
Effect of the Invention

material, and is effectively used particularly in the production of
a separating agent for use in the separation of optical isomers: a
polymer compound derivative modified with a compound represented by
the above general formula (I) and one or more kinds of compounds
represented by the above general formulae (II) to (V) are caused to
react with each other.
[0023] When the complex of the present invention is used in a
separating agent for use in the separation of optical isomers, the
separating agent can separate large amounts of the optical isomers
in one stroke because a ratio of the molecules of the polymer
compound derivative that contribute to the separation of the
optical isomers in the complex is large.
[0024] In addition, when the complex of the present invention is
used in a separating agent for use in the separation of optical
isomers, the separating agent shows a high mechanical strength
because the complex contains a three-dimensionally crosslinked
inorganic substance.
[0025] In addition, the polymer compound derivative and the
three-dimensionally crosslinked inorganic substance are chemically
bonded to each other in the complex of the present invention, so
even a solvent that may dissolve the polymer compound derivative
can be used, and the complex is excellent in solvent
resistance.
[0026] In addition, when the complex of the present invention is
used in a separating agent for use in the separation of optical
isomers, the swelling and contraction of the separating agent are
suppressed, and the separating agent is suitable not only for the
analysis of the optical isomers but also for an application where
the optical isomers are separated because the complex contains a
compound having a functional group that reacts with an alkoxysilyl
group.

1 to 12 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a halogen, an acyl group
having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an acyloxy group having 1 to 8 carbon
atoms, a hydroxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 12
carbon atoms, a nitro group, an amino group, and a dialkylamino
group having alkyl groups each having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, specific
preferable examples of X include alkylene groups each of which has
1 to 18 carbon atoms and each of which may have a branch, and out
of the examples, an ethylene group, a propylene group, a butylene

[0047] Y represents a reactive group that reacts with a silanol
group to form a siloxane bond, and the reactive group is
preferably, for example, an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon
atoms or a halogen, or particularly preferably, for example, a
methoxy group, an ethoxy group, or a propoxy group;
[0048] R represents an alkyl group which has 1 to 18 carbon atoms
and which may have a branch or an aryl group which may have a
substituent, and examples of the substituent which the aryl group
may have include an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an
alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having
1 to 12 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a halogen, an acyl group

carbon atoms, a nitro group, an amino group, and a dialkylamino
group having alkyl groups each having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and
[0049] n represents an integer of 1 to 3.
[0050] Examples of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) include 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane,
3-isocyanatepropyltrimethoxysilane,
3-isocyanatepropyldiethoxymethylsilane,
2-isocyanateethyltriethoxysilane,
4-isocyanatephenyltriethoxysilane,
3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane,
3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, and
3-thiocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane. Preferred are
3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane and
3-isocyanatepropyltrimethoxysilane.
[0051] In the above-mentioned polymer compound derivative,
molecules of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) are introduced into part of the hydroxy or
amino groups of the above-mentioned polymer compound having the
hydroxy or amino groups.
[0052] The positions at which the molecules of the compound
represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) are
introduced into the hydroxy or amino groups of the above-mentioned
polymer compound having the hydroxy or amino groups are not
particularly limited.
[0053] In addition, the above-mentioned term "part" can be
represented as a ratio of introduction of the molecules of the
compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I)
into the hydroxy or amino groups of the polymer compound having the
hydroxy or amino groups. The ratio of introduction is preferably
1.0 to 35%, more preferably 1.5 to 20%, or particularly preferably
2.0 to 10%. The reason why a ratio of introduction of the molecules
of the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula
(I) of less than 1.0% or in excess of 35% is not preferable is as
follows: when the ratio is less than 1.0%, the yield in which each
of the polymer compound derivative and a bead composed of the
polymer compound derivative is produced reduces while, when the
ratio exceeds 35%, the optical separation ability of a filler
containing the polymer compound derivative reduces.
[0054] In addition, the above-mentioned ratio of introduction (%)
is defined as follows: when the polymer compound to be used in the
production of the above-mentioned polymer compound derivative of
the present invention has only hydroxy groups, the ratio of
introduction is a numerical value obtained by multiplying a ratio
of the number of hydroxy groups modified with the molecules of the
compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) to
the total number of the hydroxy groups of the polymer compound by
100; when the above-mentioned polymer compound has only amino
groups, the ratio of introduction is a numerical value obtained by
multiplying a ratio of the number of amino groups modified with the
molecules of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) to the total number of the amino groups by 100;
or when the above-mentioned polymer compound has hydroxy groups and
amino groups, the ratio of introduction is a numerical value
obtained by multiplying a ratio of the sum of the numbers of
hydroxy groups and amino groups modified with the molecules of the
compound with which the hydroxy or amino groups are modified to the
sum of the total number of the hydroxy groups and the total number
of the amino groups by 100. In addition, in the present invention,
the same definition as that described above is applicable also to
the ratio of introduction of molecules of a compound except the
compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula
(I).
[0055] In the above-mentioned polymer compound derivative, at least
part of the hydroxy or amino groups except the hydroxy or amino
groups modified with the molecules of the compound represented by
the above-mentioned general formula (I) are preferably further
modified with molecules of a compound having a functional group
which acts on an optical isomer.
[0056] The above-mentioned functional group is a functional group,
which acts on an optical isomer in a sample containing optical
isomers to be separated. The action of the functional group on the
optical isomer cannot be uniquely defined because the kind of the
functional group varies depending on the kinds of the optical
isomers to be separated; the action is not particularly limited as
long as the action suffices for the optical resolution of the
above-mentioned optical isomers with the above-mentioned polymer
compound derivative. Examples of the above-mentioned functional
group include a group containing an aromatic group, which may have
a substituent, and an aliphatic group having a cyclic structure.
The above-mentioned aromatic group can contain a heterocyclic ring
or a condensed ring. Examples of the substituent, which the
above-mentioned aromatic group may have, include an alkyl group
having up to about 8 carbon atoms, a halogen, an amino group, and
an alkoxyl group. The above-mentioned functional group is selected
in accordance with the kinds of the above-mentioned optical isomers
to be separated.
[0057] In addition, the molecules of the compound having the
functional group which acts on an optical isomer are preferably
introduced into the at least part of the hydroxy or amino groups
except the hydroxy or amino groups modified with the molecules of
the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I)
through a urethane bond, an ester bond, or an ether bond for a
hydroxy group and a urea bond or an amide bond for an amino group;
a urethane bond and a urea bond are particularly preferable for a
hydroxy group and an amino group, respectively. Therefore, the
above-mentioned compound having the functional group, which acts on
an optical isomer, is a compound having a functional group, which
can react with a hydroxy or amino group of the above-mentioned
polymer compound as well. The above-mentioned compound having a
functional group which can react with a hydroxy or amino group may
be any compound as long as the compound is an isocyanic acid
derivative, a carboxylic acid, an acid halide, an alcohol, or any
other compound having reactivity with a hydroxy or amino group.
[0058] It should be noted that neither the ratio of introduction of
the molecules of the compound having the above-mentioned functional
group nor the positions at which the molecules of the compound are
introduced in the polymer compound is particularly limited, and the
ratio and the positions are appropriately selected in accordance
with, for example, the kind of the functional group and the kind of
the polymer compound.
[0059] The above-mentioned compound having a functional group which
acts on an optical isomer is particularly preferably a compound
containing an atomic group represented by the following general
formula (VI) or (VII):
[Chem 7]
--CO--R' (VI)
--CO--NH--R' (VII)
[0060] where R' represents an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon
group which may contain a heteroatom, and the aliphatic or aromatic
hydrocarbon group may be unsubstituted or may be substituted with
one or more groups selected from the group consisting of a
hydrocarbon group which has 1 to 12 carbon atoms and which may
contain a heteroatom, a cyano group, a halogen, a hydroxy group, a
nitro group, an amino group, and a dialkylamino group containing
two alkyl groups each having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
[0061] Examples of the monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group
represented by R' described above include a phenyl, naphthyl,
phenanthryl, anthracyl, indenyl, indanyl, furyl, thionyl, pyryl,
benzofuryl, benzthionyl, indyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, quinolinyl, and
isoquinolinyl group. In addition, examples of the substituent for
the monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group represented by R' include
alkyl groups each having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups each
having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, alkylthio groups each having 1 to 12
carbon atoms, a cyano group, halogens, acyl groups each having 1 to
8 carbon atoms, acyloxy groups each having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a
hydroxy group, alkoxycarbonyl groups each having 1 to 12 carbon
atoms, a nitro group, amino groups, and a dialkylamino group
containing two alkyl groups each having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. In
addition, as the aliphatic hydrocarbon group represented by R'
described above, desired is an alicyclic compound containing more
than 3 rings, or more preferably more than 5 rings, or an alicyclic
compound having a cross linked structure. Of those, preferred is a
cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, norbornyl, cycloadamantyl pentyl group, or
the like.
[0062] In the present invention, part of the hydroxy or amino
groups except the hydroxy or amino groups modified with the
molecules of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) is preferably modified with molecules of one or
more kinds of compounds selected from the group consisting of
phenyl isocyanate, tolyl isocyanate, naphthylethyl isocyanate,

particularly preferably modified with molecules of
3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate.
[0063] In the polymer compound derivative of the present invention,
the sum of the ratio of introduction of the molecules of the
compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) and
the ratio of introduction of the molecules of the compound having
the above-mentioned functional group is preferably 90 to 100%, more
preferably 97 to 100%, or particularly preferably 100%.
[0064] <2> Method of Producing Polymer Compound Derivative of
the Present Invention
[0065] The polymer compound derivative used for producing the
complex of the present invention can be produced as described
below. That is, a first method of producing the polymer compound
derivative of the present invention includes at least:
[0066] a first modifying step of modifying part of the hydroxy or
amino groups of a polymer compound having the hydroxy or amino
groups, the polymer compound being dissolved, with molecules of a
compound except a compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I); and
[0067] a second modifying step of modifying hydroxy or amino groups
of the above-mentioned polymer compound which are not modified with
the molecules of the compound except the compound represented by
the above-mentioned general formula (I) in the above-mentioned
first modifying step with molecules of the compound represented by
the above-mentioned general formula (I).
[0068] The above-mentioned first modifying step is preferably
performed before the above-mentioned second modifying step in order
that the compound represented by the above-mentioned general
formula (I) may be efficiently and controllably introduced into the
above-mentioned polymer compound.
[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned production
method may further include a step of dissolving the polymer
compound in order that a dissolved polymer compound having hydroxy
or amino groups may be obtained. In the above-mentioned dissolving
step, a known method can be employed for dissolving the polymer
compound; when the polymer compound to be dissolved is hardly
soluble in a solvent or the like, the method preferably includes a
step of swelling the polymer compound. In addition, when a
dissolved polymer compound having hydroxy or amino groups is
commercially available, the dissolved polymer compound may be
purchased and used.
[0070] As a solvent which swells the polymer compound (such as
polysaccharide) in the above-mentioned swelling step, an
amide-based solvent is preferably used. Examples of the solvent
include a mixed solution such as a mixed solution of N,N-dimethyl
aceteamide and lithium chloride, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and lithium
chloride, or 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone and lithium chloride. A
mixture solution of N,N-dimethyl aceteamide and lithium chloride is
particularly preferably used.
[0071] The above-mentioned dissolving step is preferably performed
under a nitrogen atmosphere. In addition, when the above-mentioned
polymer compound is a polysaccharide, the polysaccharide is
dissolved under, for example, conditions including a temperature of
20 to 100.degree. C. and a time period of 1 to 24 hours; one
skilled in the art can appropriately adjust the conditions
depending on the polymer compound to be used.
[0072] The above-mentioned first modifying step is a step of
modifying part of the hydroxy or amino groups of the polymer
compound having the hydroxy or amino groups, the polymer compound
being dissolved, with molecules of a compound having at least a
functional group which acts on an optical isomer and a functional
group which can react with a hydroxy or amino group. A known method
can be employed in the modification. The hydroxy or amino groups of
the polymer compound are particularly preferably modified with the
molecules of the compound having a functional group which acts on
an optical isomer in an amount corresponding to 60 to 100 mol % of
the hydroxy or amino groups of the polymer compound in a mixed
solution of dimethylacetamide, lithium chloride, and pyridine at 80
to 100.degree. C. for 1 to 24 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere in
order that the ratio of introduction of the molecules of the
compound having the functional group may be controlled. In
particular, the reaction temperature, the reaction time, and the
additive amount of the compound having a functional group which
acts on an optical isomer, each plays an important role in
adjusting the ratio of introduction of the molecules of the
compound having the above-mentioned functional group.
[0073] It should be noted that the positions at which the molecules
of the compound having at least a functional group which acts on an
optical isomer and a functional group which can react with a
hydroxy or amino group are introduced in the polymer compound
derivative in the present invention are not particularly
limited.
[0074] The above-mentioned second modifying step is a step of
modifying the hydroxy or amino groups of the polymer compound the
hydroxy or amino groups of which are not completely modified with
the molecules of the compound having at least a functional group
which acts on an optical isomer and a functional group which can
react with a hydroxy or amino group in the above-mentioned first
modifying step with the molecules of the compound represented by
the above-mentioned general formula (I). A known method can be
employed in the modification. The hydroxy or amino groups before
modification of the polymer compound are particularly preferably
modified with the molecules of the compound represented by the
above-mentioned general formula (I) in an amount corresponding to 1
to 10 mol % of the hydroxy or amino groups before modification of
the polymer compound in a mixed solvent of dimethylacetamide,
lithium chloride, and pyridine at 80 to 100.degree. C. for 1 to 24
hours under a nitrogen atmosphere in order that the ratio of
introduction of the molecules of the compound represented by the
above-mentioned general formula (I) may be controlled. Of those
conditions, the additive amount of the compound represented by the
above-mentioned general formula (I) plays a particularly important
role in controlling the ratio of introduction of the molecules of
the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula
(I).
[0075] It should be noted that the positions at which the molecules
of the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula
(I) are introduced in the polymer compound derivative in the
present invention are not particularly limited. When unreacted
hydroxy or amino groups are present at the time of the completion
of the above-mentioned second modifying step, they are caused to
react with the molecules of the compound having the functional
groups used in the first modifying step.
[0076] In addition, a method of producing the polymer compound
derivative to be used in the present invention may be a method
including at least: a protective group-introducing step of
introducing a protective group into each of part of the hydroxy or
amino groups of the polymer compound having the hydroxy or amino
groups, the polymer compound being dissolved; a first modifying
step of modifying the hydroxy or amino groups remaining in the
polymer compound into which the protective group has been
introduced with molecules of a compound except the compound
represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I); an
eliminating step of eliminating the introduced protective group to
regenerate hydroxy groups; and a second modifying step of modifying
the regenerated hydroxy groups or the amino groups with the
molecules of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I). In the above-mentioned production method
including the protective group-introducing step and the eliminating
step, the hydroxy or amino groups at specific positions of the
polymer compound can be modified with the molecules of the compound
represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I).
[0077] In the above-mentioned production method including the
protective group-introducing step and the eliminating step, the
protective group to be introduced in the protective
group-introducing step is not particularly limited as long as the
group can be eliminated from a hydroxy or amino group more easily
than a compound with which a hydroxy or amino group is modified in
each modifying step is. A compound for introducing the protective
group can be determined on the basis of the reactivity of a hydroxy
or amino group to be protected or modified and the reactivity of
the compound with a hydroxy or amino group. The compound is, for
example, a compound having a triphenylmethyl group (trityl group),
a diphenylmethyl group, a tosyl group, a mesyl group, a
trimethylsilyl group, or a dimethyl(t-butyl)silyl group, and a
compound having a trityl group or a trimethylsilyl group is
suitably used.
[0078] The introduction of the protective group into a hydroxy or
amino group, and the modification of a hydroxy or amino group with
a modifying compound can each be performed by a known proper
reaction in accordance with the kind of a compound to be caused to
react with a hydroxy or amino group. In addition, the elimination
of the protective group from a hydroxy or amino group in the
eliminating step can be performed by a known method such as
hydrolysis with an acid or alkali without any particular
limitation.
[0079] According to the above-mentioned first production method,
there is no need to take the trouble to introduce a protective
group, so the number of steps can be reduced. As a result, a
reduction in cost for the production of the polymer compound
derivative can be achieved. In addition, according to the
above-mentioned second production step, a molecule of the compound
represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) can be
introduced into a hydroxy group at a predetermined position of the
polymer compound with reliability.
[0080] It should be noted that the employment of the
above-mentioned first production method of the present invention
allows a predetermined amount of the hydroxy or amino groups of the
polymer compound derivative not modified with the molecules of the
compound except the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) in the first modifying step to be modified with
the molecules of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) in the second modifying step. Therefore, the
ratio of introduction of the molecules of the compound represented
by the above-mentioned formula (I) into the polymer compound having
hydroxy or amino groups can be controlled by adjusting the amount
of the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula
(I) in the second modifying step.
[0081] When the ratio of introduction of the molecules of the
compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) in
the polymer compound derivative of the present invention is
determined, each of the following two methods each involving the
use of .sup.1H NMR is preferably employed. When a reaction between
the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I)
and a hydroxy or amino group is complete, the ratios of
introduction of the molecules of the compound represented by the
above-mentioned general formula (I) determined by the respective
methods show an identical value. In the present invention, the
following method (2) was employed.
(1) The ratio of introduction of the molecules of a compound except
the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I)
in the polymer compound derivative is determined from a result of
elemental analysis for the polymer compound derivative before the
introduction of the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I). After that, the ratio of introduction of silyl
groups in the polymer compound derivative into which the compound
represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) has been
introduced is calculated from a ratio of the polymer compound
derivative between a proton of a functional group of the compound
except the compound represented by the above-mentioned general
formula (I) and a proton of a functional group directly bonded to
silicon of the compound represented by the above-mentioned general
formula (I), and the calculated value is defined as the ratio of
introduction of the molecules of the compound represented by the
above-mentioned general formula (I) in the polymer compound
derivative. (2) After the completion of the modifying steps, a
ratio between a proton of a functional group of the compound except
the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I)
and a proton of a functional group directly bonded to silicon of
the compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I)
is determined on the assumption that the hydroxy or amino groups of
the polymer compound derivative of the present invention are
completely modified with modifying groups. Then, the ratio of
introduction of the molecules of the compound represented by the
above-mentioned general formula (I) in the polymer compound
derivative is calculated.

[0096] <4> Complex of the Present Invention
[0097] The complex of the present invention is obtained by causing

used in the present invention as represented by the following
equation (see Example 4 below).
[Eq. 1]
Content (wt %) of polymer compound
derivative=A-B(100-A)/(100-B)
[0099] "A" described above represents the content (wt %) of the
organic substances in the complex, and "B" described above
represents the content (wt %) of the organic substance derived from
the compound represented by the above general formula (II) used in
the production of the complex.
[0100] In addition, when the compound represented by the above
general formula (V) is used alone, the content of the polymer
compound derivative in the complex of the present invention is
calculated in consideration of the content (wt %) of an organic
substance derived from the compound represented by the above
general formula (V) calculated by employing the same method as that
described in Example 4 below as represented by the following
equation.
[Eq. 2]
Content (wt %) of polymer compound
derivative=A-C(100-A)/(100-C)
[0101] "A" described above represents the content (wt %) of the
organic substances in the complex, and "C" described above
represents the content (wt %) of the organic substance derived from
the compound represented by the above general formula (V) used in
the production of the complex.
[0102] In addition, for example, when one kind of the compounds
represented by the above general formula (II) and one kind of the
compounds represented by the above general formula (V) are used in
combination, the content of the polymer compound derivative in the
complex of the present invention is calculated in consideration of
the content (wt %) of an organic substance derived from each of the
compound represented by the above general formula (II) and the
compound represented by the above general formula (V) described
above as represented by the following equation.
[Eq. 3]
Content (wt %) of polymer compound
derivative=A-{B[a/(a+b)]+C[b/(a+b)]}(100-A)/[100-{B[a/(a+b)]+C[b/(a+b)}]
[0103] "A" described above represents the content (wt %) of the
organic substances in the complex, "B" described above represents
the content (wt %) of the organic substance derived from the
compound represented by the above general formula (II) used in the
production of the complex, "C" described above represents the
content (wt %) of the organic substance derived from the compound
represented by the above general formula (V) used in the production
of the complex, and "a" and "b" represent the molar ratios of the
compound represented by the above general formula (II) and the
compound represented by the above general formula (V) mixed at the
time of the production of the complex, respectively.
[0104] It should be noted that, even when two or more kinds of the
compounds represented by the above general formulae (II) to (IV)
and two or more kinds of the compounds represented by the above
general formula (V) are used, the content of the organic substances
in the complex can be calculated by the same calculation method as
that described above with the contents of the organic substances
derived from the respective compounds similarly calculated and the
molar ratios of the respective compounds.
[0105] The complex of the present invention may be in, for example,
a pulverized form; to be specific, as described later, the complex
is preferably turned into beads. When the complex of the present
invention is in a bead form, the beads can be used as they are in a
separating agent for optical isomers. The term "complex" as used in
the present invention refers to a complex obtained by causing the
above polymer compound derivative and one or more kinds of the
compounds represented by the above general formulae (II) to (V) to
react with each other as described above. At the time of the
formation of the complex, the group Y introduced into the above
polymer compound derivative and the one or more kinds of the
compounds represented by the above general formulae (II) to (V)
react with each other. As a result of the reaction, part of the
molecules of the one or more kinds of the compounds represented by
the above general formulae (II) to (V) and part of the molecules of
the above polymer compound derivative are bonded to each other, and
furthermore, the molecules of the one or more kinds of the
compounds represented by the above general formulae (II) to (V) are
bonded to each other. Thus, a repeating unit of an M-O bond (where
M represents any one of the same elements as those appearing in the
description of the above general formula (II) and O represents
oxygen), a repeating unit of an Al--O bond, a repeating unit of an
Mg--O bond, and/or Si--X--Si--O (where X represents any one of the
same groups as those appearing in the description of the above
general formula (V)) are/is formed in the complex, so the complex
may have a structure in which the polymer compound derivative and
any such repeating unit are three-dimensionally crosslinked.
[0106] The complex of the present invention can be produced by, for
example, mixing the above polymer compound derivative and one or
more kinds of the compounds represented by the above general
formulae (II) to (V) with an acid in advance to crosslink them
partially and dropping the resultant into an aqueous solution of a
surfactant.
[0107] It should be noted that an anionic surfactant or a cationic
surfactant can be used as the above surfactant in the invention of
the subject application. When the anionic surfactant out of those
surfactants is used, the surfactant is added to water so that the
concentration of the surfactant in the above aqueous solution of
the surfactant may be preferably 0.02 to 2 wt %, or particularly
preferably 0.04 to 1 wt %; similarly, when the cationic surfactant
is used, the surfactant is added to water so that the concentration
may be preferably 0.02 to 2 wt %, or particularly preferably 0.04
to 1 wt %.
[0108] Examples of the anionic surfactants may include sodium
dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, sodium
aryl-alkyl-polyethersulfonate, sodium
3,3-disulfonediphenylurea-4,4-diazo-bis-amino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonate,
ortho-carboxybenzene-azo-dimethylaniline, sodium
2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-triphenylmethane-4,4-diazo-bis-.beta.-naphthol-6-sulf-
onate, sodium dialkylsulfosuccinate, sodium dodecylsulfate, sodium
tetradecylsulfate, sodium pentadecylsulfate, sodium octylsulfate,
sodium oleate, sodium dodecanate, sodium caprate, sodium caprylate,
sodium caproate, potassium stearate, and calcium oleate. Of those,
sodium dodecylsulfate is preferably used.
[0109] Examples of the cationic surfactants may include
alkylbenzenedimethyl ammonium chloride, alkyltrimethyl ammonium
chloride, and distearyl ammonium chloride. Of those, alkyltrimethyl
ammonium chloride having an alkyl group with 12 to 18 carbon atoms
is preferably used.
[0110] <5> Beads of the Present Invention
[0111] The present invention provides beads as one specific form of
the complex obtained by causing the above polymer compound
derivative and one or more kinds of the compounds represented by
the above general formulae (II) to (V) to react with each other.
The beads in the present invention are nearly spherical particles
or spherical particles, and their shapes have the following
characteristic: when the longest diameter and shortest diameter of
each of, for example, about twenty particles are measured, the
average longest diameter-to-shortest diameter ratio of the
particles is 1.0 to 5.0, preferably 1.0 to 2.0, or more preferably
1.0 to 1.3. In the present invention, the particle shapes and
particle sizes of the beads can be determined from an image
photographed with, for example, a scanning electron microscope
(SEM).
[0112] It should be noted that hereinafter, the beads obtained in
the invention of the subject application are also referred to as
"hybrid beads".
[0113] The above-mentioned beads according to the present invention
are obtained by a method involving: gradually adding a polymer
compound derivative such as a polysaccharide derivative modified
with the compound represented by the above-mentioned general
formula (I), the polymer compound derivative being dissolved in an
organic solvent, to an aqueous solution of a surfactant or a
solvent containing a proton-donating solvent such as methanol, the
aqueous solution or the solvent being sufficiently stirred, to
prompt a crosslinking reaction between the molecules of the polymer
compound derivative with at least one of the compounds represented
by the above-mentioned general formulae (II) to (V); and isolating
an insoluble portion. The organic solvent to be used here may be
any solvent as long as the polymer compound derivative such as a
polysaccharide derivative and at least one of the compounds
represented by the above-mentioned general formulae (II) to (V) are
soluble therein; the solvent is particularly preferably
hydrophobic. Alternatively, even when the solvent is hydrophilic,
the solvent can be used by mixing with a hydrophobic solvent before
use.
[0114] In a preferred embodiment, for example, such organic
solvents include 1-heptanol as a hydrophobic solvent and
tetrahydrofuran as a hydrophilic solvent. When the above organic
solvents include tetrahydrofuran and 1-heptanol, a volume ratio
"tetrahydrofuran:1-heptanol" is preferably 0.1 to 10:1 from the
viewpoint of the adjustment of the shapes and organic substance
content of the beads of the present invention; the volume ratio
"tetrahydrofuran:1-heptanol" is particularly preferably 4:1.
[0115] Further, examples of proton-donating solvents include
ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butyl alcohol, 2-butyl alcohol,
isobutyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, and
methanol.
[0116] In addition, from the viewpoints of improvements in solvent
resistance and mechanical strength of each of the beads, and the
maintenance of the ability of the beads to separate optical
isomers, the following operation may be further performed in
addition to the above operations: silanol groups remaining on the
resultant beads are subjected to end capping with a proper solvent
and a silane coupling agent after an operation in which the beads
are dried and dispersed in a proper solvent so that a crosslinking
reaction in the beads may be performed has been performed or
without the performance of such crosslinking reaction.
[0117] The beads in the present invention each have a particle size
of typically 1 to 500 .mu.m, preferably 5 to 300 .mu.m, or
particularly preferably 5 to 100 .mu.m. As long as the particle
size falls within such range, the ratio at which a column or the
like is filled with the beads (filling rate) can be increased, and
hence the ability of the resultant product to separate optical
isomers can be improved. In addition, the beads in the present
application may be either porous or nonporous, but are preferably
porous and have an average pore size of 10 to 10,000 .ANG., or
preferably 50 to 5,000 .ANG.. An average pore size within such
range is preferable because a solution containing optical isomers
sufficiently permeates into the pores, and the ability of the beads
to separate the optical isomers can be improved.
[0118] The particle sizes of the beads obtained by the
above-mentioned method can be adjusted by adopting the following
procedure in the above-mentioned method: adjusting a ratio between
the amounts of the organic solvent and the aqueous solution of the
surfactant or the solvent containing the proton-donating solvent,
adjusting the concentration of the polymer compound derivative such
as a polysaccharide derivative, adjusting the speed at which the
organic solvent is added to the aqueous solution of the surfactant
or the solvent containing the proton-donating solvent, and
considering the capacity and shape of a stirring container and the
shape of a stirring blade, appropriately changing the speed at
which the aqueous solution of the surfactant or the solvent
containing the proton-donating solvent is stirred within the range
of 800 to 3,000 rpm.
[0119] The beads of the present invention can be used as a filler
for optical isomer separation not only for HPLC but also for
chromatography where high pressure resistance is needed such as
supercritical fluid chromatography. When the complex of the present
invention is used in a bead form, as described above, a
crosslinking reaction occurs at the time of the formation of the
beads, and a three-dimensionally crosslinked structure may be
present in each of the beads. As a result, the mechanical strength
of each of the beads is improved. In addition, an optical isomer
separating column filled with the beads as a separating agent for
optical isomers by a known method can optically resolve increased
amounts of optical isomers in one stroke because the content of the
above polymer compound derivative in the beads is larger than a
conventional one as described above. As a result, the optical
isomer separating column has an excellent ability to separate
optical isomers.
[0120] In addition, as described above, the crosslinking reaction
between the beads occurs simultaneously with the formation of the
beads, so there is no need to prompt the crosslinking reaction
after the formation of the beads, and a time period for production
steps for the filler for optical isomer separation is significantly
shortened. As described above, in case of necessity, the solvent
resistance and mechanical strength of each of the beads can be
additionally improved by properly treating the beads after the
preparation of the beads to promote a crosslinking reaction between
unreacted Y's in the compound represented by the above-mentioned
general formula (I) introduced into the polymer compound
derivative.
[0121] <6> Separating Agent for Optical Isomers Formed of
Complex of the Present Invention
[0122] The complex of the present invention is preferably produced
in a bead form through the above operations, and the beads can be
used as a separating agent for optical isomers. When the above
beads are used as a separating agent for optical isomers in HPLC or
supercritical fluid chromatography, the beads can be used after a
column has been filled with the beads by a known method (such as a
slurry method).
[0123] In addition to the above-mentioned HPLC and supercritical
fluid chromatography, the separating agent for optical isomers
using the complex formed as beads of the present invention can be
used also as a filler for a capillary column for gas chromatography
or electrophoresis, or particularly capillary electrochromatography
(CEC), capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), or micellar
electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC).
[0124] Hereinafter, examples embodying the present invention are
described, but the present invention is not limited to those
examples.
Examples
Example 1
[0125] (1-1) Synthesis of Cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate
having Alkoxysilyl Groups
[0126] First, 4.00 g (24.7 mmol) of dried cellulose were dissolved
in a mixed solution of 120 ml of dehydrated N,N-dimethylacetamide,
60 ml of dehydrated pyridine, and 8.00 g of lithium chloride.
[0127] Then, 9.08 g (61.8 mmol) of 3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate
were added to the resultant solution, and the mixture was subjected
to a reaction at 80.degree. C. for 15 hours. After that, 0.52 g
(2.1 mmol) of 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane was added to the
resultant, and the mixture was subjected to a reaction at
80.degree. C. for 12 hours. Further, 9.08 g (61.8 mmol) of
3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate were added to the resultant, and the
mixture was subjected to a reaction at 80.degree. C. for 11 hours.
A pyridine soluble portion was dropped into methanol and recovered
as an insoluble portion. After that, the portion was dried in a
vacuum. As a result, 13.13 g of a cellulose
3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate derivative A into which alkoxysilyl
groups had been introduced were obtained. The following analysis
confirmed that the introduction ratios of 3,5-dimethylphenyl
isocyanate and the alkoxysilyl groups were 97.7% and 2.3%,
respectively (see FIG. 6).
[0128] (1-2) Measurement of Ratio of Introduction of Molecules of
3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane in Cellulose Derivative
[0129] The ratio of introduction of silyl groups in the polymer
compound derivative was calculated from a ratio between a proton of
the phenyl group of a 3,5-dimethylphenyl group of the cellulose
derivative into which the silyl groups had been introduced and a
methylene proton directly bonded to silicon of a
3-triethoxysilylpropyl group determined from a .sup.1H NMR spectrum
(400 MHz, Gemini-2000 (manufactured by Varian, Inc.), in
DMSO-d.sub.6, 80.degree. C.), and was defined as the ratio of
introduction of molecules of 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane in
the polymer compound derivative. FIG. 6 shows the .sup.1H NMR
spectrum of the derivative-A. The .sup.1H NMR spectrum shows that a
signal derived from the proton of the phenyl group appears at
around 6.0 to 7.0 ppm and that a signal derived from the methylene
proton bonded to a silyl group appears at around 0.5 ppm.
Therefore, the .sup.1H NMR results confirmed that the ratio of
introduction of the molecules of 3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate and
the ratio of introduction of the molecules of
3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane were 97.7% and 2.3%,
respectively.
[0130] (1-3) Preparation of Cellulose Derivative Beads
[0131] First, 250 mg of the derivative A, 4 ml of tetraethoxysilane
(TEOS), 1 ml of water, and 0.5 ml of chlorotrimethylsilane were
dissolved in 30 ml of a mixed solvent containing
tetrahydrofuran/1-heptanol (4/1, v/v). After having been heated at
80.degree. C. for 9 hours, the solution was dropped to 500 ml of a
0.2% aqueous solution of sodium dodecylsulfate heated in a water
bath at 80.degree. C. while the aqueous solution was stirred with a
disperser at a shaft revolution number of 1,100 rpm. After the
dropping, the mixture was stirred at 80.degree. C. for 1 hour, and
the resultant suspension was passed through a 20-.mu.m filter so
that beads each having a large particle diameter might be removed.
The suspension after having been passed through the filter was
subjected to suction filtration so that hybrid beads might be
recovered. Then, the hybrid beads were washed with water and
methanol. After the washing, the washed beads were dried in a
vacuum. As a result, 368 mg of hybrid beads were obtained. As a
result of the repetition of the foregoing operations, hybrid
beads-A-1 each having a particle diameter of about 10 .mu.m were
recovered. The thermogravimetric analysis (SSC-5200, Seiko
Instruments Inc.) of the resultant hybrid beads-A-1 confirmed that
an organic substance ratio was 45 wt %. A six-blade type disperser
shaft and a one-liter beaker were used in the preparation of the
beads.
[0132] Then, 2.1 g of the dried hybrid beads A-1 were dispersed in
a mixture "ethanol/water/chlorotrimethylsilane (21 ml/5.25 ml/0.35
ml)", and the dispersion liquid was subjected to a reaction for 1
hour while being refluxed in an oil bath at 100.degree. C. Thus,
crosslinking in the beads was performed. Then, 2.0 g of hybrid
beads A-2 thus obtained were dispersed in a mixture
"toluene/pyridine /chlorotrimethylsilane/hexamethyldisilazane (16.7
ml/16.7 ml/0.31 ml/0.64 ml)", and the dispersion liquid was
subjected to a reaction in an oil bath at 80.degree. C. for 30
minutes so that the remaining silanol groups might be subjected to
end capping. Hybrid beads A-3 thus obtained were washed with 1.95 g
of acetone. As a result, 28 mg of the cellulose derivative were
dissolved, but the organic substance ratio was kept at 45 wt %
(confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis). The beads after the
washing with acetone are defined as hybrid beads A-4. The resultant
beads were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM)
(JSM-5600 manufactured by JEOL Ltd.). As a result, it was found
that none of the sizes and surface states of the beads showed a
certain change even after the beads had been impregnated with
acetone. FIG. 2 shows the SEM images of the hybrid beads A-4 before
and after washing with acetone.
[0133] (1-4) Filling of Column
[0134] The hybrid beads A-4 thus obtained were subjected to
particle size fractionation, and was then loaded into a stainless
steel column having a length of 25 cm and an inner diameter of 0.2
cm by a slurry method, whereby a column-1 was obtained.
[0135] The column-1 had a number of theoretical plates (N) of
850.
[0136] (1-5) Evaluation for Optical Resolution using HPLC
[0137] As shown in FIG. 4, the optical resolution of ten kinds of
racemic bodies (1 to 10) with the column-1 obtained by the
above-mentioned operation (column temperature: about 20.degree. C.)
was performed. A HPLC pump (trade name: PU-980) manufactured by
JASCO Corporation was used. The detection and identification of a
peak were performed with a UV detector (wavelength: 254 nm, trade
name: UV-970, manufactured by JASCO Corporation) and an optical
rotation detector (trade name: OR-990, manufactured by JASCO
Corporation) under the following conditions: a mixture
hexane/2-propanol (90/10, v/v) was used as an eluent, and its flow
rate was 0.2 ml/min. It should be noted that the number of
theoretical plates N was determined from the peak of benzene, and a
time t.sub.0 for which the eluent passed through the column was
determined from the elution time of 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene. It
should be noted that conditions concerning, for example, HPLC and a
detector used in the evaluation for optical resolution identical to
those described above were used in the following examples and
comparative examples.
[0138] Table 1 shows the results of the optical resolution with the
column-1. Values in the table are a capacity ratio k1' and a
separation factor .alpha., and a sign in parentheses represents the
optical activity of an enantiomer which was previously eluted.
[0139] It should be noted that the capacity ratio k1' and the
separation factor .alpha. are defined by the following formulae. A
capacity ratio and a separation factor were calculated in the
following examples and comparative examples by using the same
formulae.
[Eq. 4]
Capacity ratio k1'
k1'=[(retention time of enantiomer)-(t.sub.0)]/t.sub.0
[Eq. 5]
Separation factor .alpha.
.alpha.=(capacity ratio of enantiomer to be retained more
strongly)/(capacity ratio of enantiomer to be retained more
weakly)
[0140] (1-6) Evaluation for Optical Resolving Ability by
Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC)
[0141] The molecules of a racemic body 11 (warfarin) illustrated in
FIG. 4 were optically separated by SFC with the column-1 obtained
by the above operations. An SFC apparatus used included pumps
available under the product names of PU-2080 and PU-2086 from JASCO
Corporation, a column thermostat available under the product name
of CO-1560 from JASCO Corporation, and a back pressure controller
available under the product name of 880-81 from JASCO Corporation.
Carbon dioxide was used as an eluent, and ethanol was added as a
modifier. The flow rates of carbon dioxide and ethanol were set to
0.5 ml/min and 0.1 ml/min, respectively, and a column temperature
and a back pressure were set to 40.degree. C. and 100 kg/cm.sup.2,
respectively. The detection and identification of a peak were
performed with a UV detector (wavelength: 254 nm, product name:
UV-2075, manufactured by JASCO Corporation). FIG. 5 illustrates the
results of the optical resolution with the column-1. In addition,
FIG. 3 illustrates the SEM images of the beads A-4 before and after
use in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC).
Example 2
[0142] (2-1) Synthesis of Cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate
having Alkoxysilyl Groups
[0143] First, 4.00 g (24.7 mmol) of dried cellulose were dissolved
in a mixed solution of 120 ml of dehydrated N,N-dimethylacetamide,
60 ml of dehydrated pyridine, and 8.00 g of lithium chloride.
[0144] Then, 9.08 g (61.8 mmol) of 3,5 -dimethylphenyl isocyanate
were added to the resultant solution, and the mixture was subjected
to a reaction at 80.degree. C. for 15 hours. After that, 0.34 g
(1.4 mmol) of 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane was added to the
resultant, and the mixture was subjected to a reaction at
80.degree. C. for 12 hours. Further, 9.08 g (61.8 mmol) of
3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate were added to the resultant, and the
mixture was subjected to a reaction at 80.degree. C. for 11 hours.
A pyridine soluble portion was dropped into methanol and recovered
as an insoluble portion. After that, the portion was dried in a
vacuum. As a result, 13.29 g of a cellulose
3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate derivative B into which alkoxysilyl
groups had been introduced were obtained. The results of .sup.1H
NMR confirmed that the introduction ratios of 3,5-dimethylphenyl
isocyanate and the alkoxysilyl groups were 98.6% and 1.4%,
respectively (see FIG. 7).
[0145] (2-2) Preparation of Cellulose Derivative Beads
[0146] First, 250 mg of the derivative B, 3.5 ml of
tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), 1 ml of water, and 0.5 ml of
chlorotrimethylsilane were dissolved in 30 ml of a mixed solvent
containing tetrahydrofuran/1-heptanol (4/1, v/v). After having been
heated at 80.degree. C. for 9 hours, the solution was dropped to
500 ml of a 0.2% aqueous solution of sodium dodecylsulfate heated
in a water bath at 80.degree. C. while the aqueous solution was
stirred with a disperser at a shaft revolution number of 1,100 rpm.
After the dropping, the mixture was stirred at 80.degree. C. for 1
hour, and the resultant suspension was passed through a 20-.mu.m
filter so that beads each having a large particle diameter might be
removed. The suspension after having been passed through the filter
was subjected to suction filtration so that hybrid beads might be
recovered. Then, the hybrid beads were washed with water and
methanol. After the washing, the washed beads were dried in a
vacuum. As a result, 285 mg of hybrid beads were obtained. As a
result of the repetition of the foregoing operations, hybrid
beads-B-1 each having a particle diameter of about 10 .mu.m were
recovered. The thermogravimetric analysis of the resultant hybrid
beads-B-1 confirmed that an organic substance ratio was 55 wt %. A
six-blade type disperser shaft and a one-liter beaker were used in
the preparation of the beads.
[0147] Then, 0.75 g of the dried hybrid beads B-1 were dispersed in
a mixture "ethanol/water/chlorotrimethylsilane (7.5 m1/1.9 m1/0.13
ml)", and the dispersion liquid was subjected to a reaction for 1
hour while being refluxed in an oil bath at 100.degree. C. Thus,
crosslinking in the beads was performed. Then, 0.6 g of hybrid
beads B-2 thus obtained were dispersed in a mixture
"toluene/pyridine/chlorotrimethylsilane/hexamethyldisilazane (5.0
ml/5.0 ml/1.25 ml/0.07 ml)", and the dispersion liquid was
subjected to a reaction in an oil bath at 110.degree. C. for 15
minutes so that the remaining silanol groups might be subjected to
end capping. The beads thus obtained are hereby referred to as
hybrid beads B-3. FIG. 2 shows the SEM images of the hybrid beads
B-3.
[0148] (2-3) Filling of Column
[0149] The hybrid beads B-3 thus obtained were subjected to
particle size fractionation, and was then loaded into a stainless
steel column having a length of 25 cm and an inner diameter of 0.2
cm by a slurry method, whereby a column-2 was obtained.
[0150] The column-2 had a number of theoretical plates (N) of
1,100.
[0151] (2-4) Evaluation for Optical Resolution
[0152] As shown in FIG. 4, the optical resolution of ten kinds of
racemic bodies (1 to 10) with the column-2 obtained by the
above-mentioned operation was performed. The detection and
identification of a peak were performed with a UV detector and an
optical rotation detector under the following conditions: a mixture
hexane/2-propanol (90/10, v/v) was used as an eluent, and its flow
rate was 0.2 ml/min. It should be noted that the number of
theoretical plates N was determined from the peak of benzene, and a
time t.sub.0 for which the eluent passed through the column was
determined from the elution time of 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene.
Table 1 shows the results of the optical resolution with the
column-2. Values in the table are a capacity ratio k1' and a
separation factor .alpha., and a sign in parentheses represents the
optical activity of an enantiomer which was previously eluted.
Example 3
[0153] (3-1) Synthesis of Cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate
having Alkoxysilyl Groups
[0154] First, 0.50 g (3.09 mmol) of dried cellulose was dissolved
in a mixed solution of 15 ml of dehydrated N,N-dimethylacetamide,
7.5 ml of dehydrated pyridine, and 1.00 g of lithium chloride.
[0155] Then, 1.13 g (7.72 mmol) of 3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate
were added to the resultant solution, and the mixture was subjected
to a reaction at 80.degree. C. for 6 hours. After that, 84 mg (0.34
mmol) of 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane was added to the
resultant, and the mixture was subjected to a reaction at
80.degree. C. for 13 hours. Further, 1.36 g (9.26 mmol) of
3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate were added to the resultant, and the
mixture was subjected to a reaction at 80.degree. C. for 7 hours. A
pyridine soluble portion was dropped into methanol and recovered as
an insoluble portion. After that, the portion was dried in a
vacuum. As a result, 1.65 g of a cellulose
3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate derivative C into which alkoxysilyl
groups had been introduced were obtained. The results of .sup.1H
NMR confirmed that the introduction ratios of 3,5-dimethylphenyl
isocyanate and the alkoxysilyl groups were 97.3% and 2.7%,
respectively (see FIG. 8).
[0156] (3-2) Preparation of Cellulose Derivative Beads
[0157] First, 250 mg of the derivative C, 2.25 ml of
tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), 1 ml of water, and 0.5 ml of
chlorotrimethylsilane were dissolved in 30 ml of a mixed solvent
containing tetrahydrofuran/1-heptanol (4/1, v/v). After having been
heated at 80.degree. C. for 9 hours, the solution was dropped to
500 ml of a 0.2% aqueous solution of sodium dodecylsulfate heated
in a water bath at 80.degree. C. while the aqueous solution was
stirred with a disperser at a shaft revolution number of 1,100 rpm.
After the dropping, the mixture was stirred at 80.degree. C. for 1
hour, and the resultant suspension was passed through a 20-.mu.m
filter so that beads each having a large particle diameter might be
removed. The suspension after having been passed through the filter
was subjected to suction filtration so that hybrid beads might be
recovered. Then, the hybrid beads were washed with water and
methanol. After the washing, the washed beads were dried in a
vacuum. As a result, 297 mg of hybrid beads were obtained. As a
result of the repetition of the foregoing operations, hybrid
beads-C-1 each having a particle diameter of about 3 to 10 .mu.m
were recovered. The thermogravimetric analysis of the resultant
hybrid beads-C-1 confirmed that an organic substance ratio was 62
wt %. A six-blade type disperser shaft and a one-liter beaker were
used in the preparation of the beads.
[0158] Then, 0.85 g of the dried hybrid beads C-1 was dispersed in
a mixture "ethanol/water/chlorotrimethylsilane (9.0 ml/2.25 ml/0.15
ml)", and the dispersion liquid was subjected to a reaction for 1
hour while being refluxed in an oil bath at 100.degree. C. Thus,
crosslinking in the beads was performed. Then, 0.7 g of hybrid
beads C-2 thus obtained was dispersed in a mixture
"toluene/pyridine/chlorotrimethylsilane/hexamethyldisilazane (5.0
ml/5.0 ml/0.08 ml/1.30 ml)", and the dispersion liquid was
subjected to a reaction in an oil bath at 110.degree. C. for 30
minutes so that the remaining silanol groups might be subjected to
end capping. The beads thus obtained are hereby referred to as
hybrid beads C-3. FIG. 2 shows the SEM images of the hybrid beads
C-3.
[0159] (3-3) Filling of Column
[0160] The hybrid beads C-3 thus obtained were subjected to
particle size fractionation, and was then loaded into a stainless
steel column having a length of 25 cm and an inner diameter of 0.2
cm by a slurry method, whereby a column-3 was obtained.
[0161] The column-3 had a number of theoretical plates (N) of
200.
[0162] (3-4) Evaluation for Optical Resolution
[0163] As shown in FIG. 4, the optical resolution of ten kinds of
racemic bodies (1 to 10) with the column-3 obtained by the
above-mentioned operation was performed. The detection and
identification of a peak were performed with a UV detector and an
optical rotation detector under the following conditions: a mixture
hexane/2-propanol (90/10, v/v) was used as an eluent, and its flow
rate was 0.2 ml/min. It should be noted that the number of
theoretical plates N was determined from the peak of benzene, and a
time t.sub.0 for which the eluent passed through the column was
determined from the elution time of 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene.
Table 1 shows the results of the optical resolution with the
column-3. Values in the table are a capacity ratio k1' and a
separation factor .alpha., and a sign in parentheses represents the
optical activity of an enantiomer which was previously eluted.
Example 4
[0164] The following experiment was performed in order that an
organic substance content in beads when no polymer compound
derivative was used might be calculated.
[0165] First, 5 ml of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), 1 ml of water, and
0.5 ml of chlorotrimethylsilane were dissolved in 30 ml of a mixed
solvent containing tetrahydrofuran/1-heptanol (4/1, v/v). After
having been heated at 80.degree. C. for 9 hours, the solution was
dropped to 500 ml of a 0.2% aqueous solution of sodium
dodecylsulfate heated in a water bath at 80.degree. C. while the
aqueous solution was stirred with a disperser at a shaft revolution
number of 1,100. rpm. After the dropping, the mixture was stirred
at 80.degree. C. for 1 hour. The resultant suspension was subjected
to suction filtration so that a silica gel-1 might be recovered.
Then, the silica gel was washed with water and methanol. After the
washing, the washed silica gel was dried in a vacuum. As a result,
360 mg of the silica gel-1 were obtained. The thermogravimetric
analysis (SSC-5200, Seiko Instruments Inc.) of the resultant silica
gel-1 confirmed that the organic substance ratio was 10 wt %. A
six-blade type disperser shaft and a one-liter beaker were used in
the preparation of the silica gel beads.
