Abstract

This manuscript describes a protocol for the fast determination of identity, enantiomeric excess (ee) and concentration of chiral 1,2-diamines, the combination of which has not previously been achieved, using the changes in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the charge-transfer bands of the Cu(I)-Binap complex. The spectra were analyzed with a variety of pattern recognition (PR) protocols. PR techniques were used to analyze unknown samples in a robotically controlled 96-well plate interfaced CD instrument. In less than two minutes per sample, ee and concentration values can be read with 2% and 8% error, respectively. The speed and accuracy as well as ability to simultaneously measure ee concentration and identity represent clear advantages over traditional methods and makes this method adaptable to true high-throughput screening.
