A number of variously monosubstituted 1,n-diaza[n]paracyclophanes (n = 10-12), which show planar chirality and atropisomerism due to hindered rotation about single bonds, were synthesized via a classical route to analyze their stereodynamic properties. Racemic analytes with 10- and 11-membered bridges-were resolved by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in acidic phosphate buffers (pH 2.5-4.5) employing permethylated beta- and gamma -cyclodextrin as chiral additives. Moreover, cyclodextrin mediated CZE was used in a discontinuously driven mode for investigations of the rotational interconversion process of conformationally labile homologues (n = 11). In stopped-flow experiments, after baseline separation enantiomers were partially enantiomerized in situ inside the capillary by heating. The rate constants (k(enan) = 1/2 k(rac)) and rotational energy barriers (DeltaG(not equal)) were determined from the resulting enantiomeric ratios. Energy barriers between 113-126 kJ/mol were found depending on the substituent of the benzene ring and the degree of ionization of the amino groups in bridgehead positions. The energy barriers increased in order of the substituents: NO2 > > CF3 > Br > Cl > CH3 approximate to F. In addition, the rotational energy barriers were decreased by approximately 6-8 kJ/mol in the presence of the chiral selector. (C) 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
