rac-PZQamine and R-(-)-PZQamine were purified by recrystallisation from toluene for performing a binary phase diagram via DSC by Nick (Almac Sciences)


rac-PZQamine
Synthesis: Hydrolysis of rac-PZQ (MW2-14)
Purification: recrystallized two times from toluene

m.p. = 119.0 - 119.8°C. (colorless to pale orange solid)
Further analytical data:
NMR: (see attachment)

R-(-)-PZQamine (97% ee)
Synthesis, see: Multigram-scale racemic resolution of praziquanamine with (-)-Dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid (MW49-13)
Purification: recrystallized two times from toluene
Quantification of the enantiomeric excess, see: N-Cyclohexanoyl-protection of the enantiopure R-(-)-PZQamine in a multigram scale (MW48-4)

m.p. 121.1 - 122.0°C. (colorless to pale orange solid)
[α]D20 = -305° (c=1, DCM).
1H NMR: Data: 1H NMR MW49-13 (-)-PZQamine.pdf
Chiral HPLC: R-(-)PZQ 98.5% -> 97% ee
Chiralcel OD-H, hexane/iso-propanol/Et3N = 60/40/0.1, 0.7 ml/min flow rate, RT: (R-(-)PZQ): 11.1 min, S-(+)PZQ: 13.6 min. Data: HPLC MW48-4.jpg

Note: PZQamine degenerates slowly at room temperature (turns yellow - orange)
