In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Direct HPLC enantioseparation of omeprazole and its chiral impurities: Application to the determination of enantiomeric purity of esomeprazole magnesium trihydrate, published in 2010-09-05, which mentions a compound: 73590-85-9, Name is 5-Methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]benzimidazole, Molecular C17H19N3O2S, Formula: C17H19N3O2S.
Anal. and semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatog. (HPLC) enantioseparation of the proton-pump inhibitor omeprazole (OME) and its potential organic chiral impurities were accomplished on the immobilized-type Chiralpak IA chiral stationary phase (CSP) under both polar organic and normal-phase conditions. The (S)-enantiomers were isolated with a purity of >99% ee and their absolute configuration was empirically assigned by CD spectroscopy. A chemo- and enantioselective HPLC method was validated to control the enantiomeric purity of the (S)-enantiomer of OME (ESO), an active ingredient contained in drug products, in the presence of chiral and achiral related substances. The precision, linearity and accuracy of the determination of the (R)-impurity as well as the recovery of ESO from a pharmaceutical preparation were determined The proposed method uses the mixture Me tert-butylether (MtBE)-Et acetate (EA)-EtOH (EtOH)-diethylamine (DEA) 60:40:5:0.1 (volume/volume/volume/volume) as a mobile phase. In these conditions, linearity over the concentration range 0.5-25 μg/mL for (R)-enantiomer was obtained. The limits of detection and quantification were 99 and 333 ng/mL, resp. The intra and inter-day assay precision was <2% (RSD%). This literature about this compound(73590-85-9)Formula: C17H19N3O2Shas given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(5-Methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]benzimidazole) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.
