T. Hattori et al., Use of a racemic derivatizing agent for measurement of enantiomeric excessby circular dichroism spectroscopy, TETRAHEDR L, 42(45), 2001, pp. 8015-8018
Enantiomeric excesses of several alcohols and an amine have been determined
by derivatization with racemic 2'-methoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl-2-carbonyl chlor
ide rac-1, with no requirement for kinetic resolution in the acylation step
. The necessary information is provided instead by CD and UV spectra of the
derived esters and amides, the chiral signal being dominated by the binaph
thyl component. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
