1-Naphthoic acid was used for the first time as a new type of asymmetr
ic chromophore for exciton coupled circular dichroism (ECCD). The UV a
nd CD spectra of 13(S)-hydroxy-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid methyle
ster 1 derivatized with 1-naphthoic acid are presented and the CD data
are compared with the corresponding 2-naphthoate and benzoate derivat
ives. 1-Naphthoic acid represents a new type of asymmetric ECCD chromo
phore which is useful for induced chirality. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
