Abstract:

Using vancomycin and 1,6-diisocyanatohexane as the monomers, an enantioselective composite membrane was prepared by interfacial polymerization on a polysulfone support and was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The composite membrane was used for enantioseparation of D,L-phenylglycine which is an indispensable reagent in the syntheses of penicillins and cephalosporins. By optimizing the molar ratio of vancomycin and 1,6-diisocyanatohexane, the time of polymerization and the feed concentration of the racemate, an enantiomeric excess[e.e.(%)] of over 70% D-phenylglycine could be obtained. Comparing the membrane adsorption, solid extraction, membrane chromatography, dialysis and ultrafiltration of vancomycin optical resolution membrane, the L-phenylglycine was prior adsorbed, while, the D-phenylglycine was first permeated the membrane. Based on the association characteristic of racemate of D,L-phenylglycine, we suggested, in the first time, that the enantioseparation mechanism of membrane was “adsorption-association-diffusion”.
