A. Heumann et al., NEW FLUORINATED O-ARYL LACTIC ACIDS - USE AS CHIRAL DERIVATIZING AGENTS (CDAS) AND DETERMINATION OF THEIR ENANTIOMERIC PURITY WITH ACHIRAL DIOLS, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(5), 1995, pp. 1073-1076
The modification of the aromatic part of fluorinated O-aryl lactic aci
ds allows the improvement of the fluorine NMR delta Delta values in di
astereomeric esters, but also the observation of other nuclei such as
Hg (delta Delta > 6 ppm). The enantiomeric purity of chiral acids has
been determined through the dl- and meso compounds formed from achiral
diols.
