U. Girreser et al., O,O-ACETAL FORMATION OF EXO-ANNELATED TAHYDRO-7,8,8-TRIMETHYL-4,7-METHANOBENZOFURAN-2-OL WITH LACTIC-ACID AND PHENYLLACTIC ACID-DERIVATIVES, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 129(3), 1998, pp. 281-289
Acetals of a series of substituted lactic acid derivatives were formed
with enantiopure lactol 1. H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopic data of the
anomerically pure O,O-acetals are compared in order to assign the abs
olute configuration of the O-protected lactic acid derivatives and for
the determination of enantiomeric excesses. The results are supported
by molecular modeling studies.
