Secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effects have been determined for the elimination reactions of 2-phenylethyl halides with tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol at 40 °C in the presence and absence of the crown ether 18C6. The second-order rate constant k2 and the normal (kH/kD)α effect remained constant when the tert-butoxide concentration was varied for reaction of the iodo and bromo compounds. However, both the magnitude of k2 and the secondary α-deuterium isotope effect were significantly dependent on [t-BuO−] when chlorine and fluorine are the leaving groups. It is noteworthy that (kH/kD)α is inverse for the reaction of both the chloro and fluoro compounds at "low" base concentrations and normal at "high" base concentrations. These results are discussed in terms of both syn- and anti-elimination pathways promoted by various associated and dissociated base species. It is suggested that the (kH/kD)α effect may be useful as a criterion for determining the stereochemistry of E2 elimination reactions.

Abstract Separation of natural compounds directly from the crude extract is a challenging work for traditional column chromatography. In the present study, an efficient method for separation of three main compounds from the crude extract of Dracocephalum tanguticum has been successfully established by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The crude extract was directly introduced into HSCCC by using dimethyl sulfoxide as cosolvent. Ethyl acetate/n-butyl alcohol/0.3% glacial acetic acid (4: 1: 5, v/v) system was used and three target compounds with purity higher than 80% were obtained. Preparative HPLC was used for further purification and three target compounds with purity higher than 98% were obtained. The compounds were identified as chlorogenic acid, pedaliin and pedaliin-6″-acetate.
