ABSTRACT
The rate constants for (L)-N-acetyl homocysteine thiolactone enantiomerization have been obtained from batch-wise studies and by dynamic gas chromatography of racemic mixtures. Results from the batch-wise experiments show that the kinetics of racemization at 150 °C is the same for vials made of glass, silanized glass or Teflon-coated glass so that the vial surface exhibited no effect on the kinetics of racemization. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants the preexponential factor, activation energy, the activation Gibbs energy and activation entropy have been obtained from transition state theory. The catalytic effect of G-DP, G-BP and B-DP GC chiral stationary phases on racemization has been observed and quantified by the values of rate constants; B-DP exhibited the greatest activity. The Eyring activation parameters obtained from batch-wise experiment were compared with theoretical values acquired from quantum chemical modelling. Agreement between the experimental and calculated values of activation Gibbs energy, activation enthalpy and activation entropy is good. The dynamic gas chromatography of racemic mixture on chiral B-DP, G-DP and G-BP capillary columns indicate that the rate constants of forward and reverse reactions are different in chiral environments. The greatest accelerating effect in the process of enantiomerization has been identified for G-BP both in the batch-wise experiments and by the dynamic gas chromatography.
