Abstract:
A convenient method for determining the absolute configuration of chiral secondary alcohols using the racemic NMR anisotropy reagent, (+/-)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid [(+/-)-M(alpha)NP acid], and an HPLC-CD detector was developed. The method was successfully applied to some chiral alcohols derived from (-)-alpha-santonin.
