J. Frelek et al., APPLICATION OF [MO-2(OAC)(4)] FOR DETERMINATION OF ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION OF PYRANOID AND FURANOID VIC-DIOLS BY CIRCULAR-DICHROISM, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(5), 1996, pp. 1363-1372
The in situ complexes of [Mo-2(OAc)(4)] with vic-diols obtained from m
onosaccharides gave CD spectra suitable for determination of absolute
configuration in this group. Positive (negative) torsional angle in th
e O-C-C-O moiety leads to a positive (negative) Cotton effect at aroun
d 300 nm. This rule was also extended to vic-diols containing an amino
group in the same molecule. Protection of the amino group as a carbam
ate inhibits the formation of a chiral complex with the NH2 moiety and
enables determination of absolute configuration of the diol fragment.
