Abstract
The E/Z conformer ratios of five 2-naphtylalkylsulfoxides were determined by means of dynamic NMR spectroscopy at very low temperatures and this information was used to predict, by means of DFT calculations, the ECD spectra of the R and S enantiomers. The latter were separated by enantioselective HPLC technique and the comparison of theoretical and experimental ECD spectra allowed the absolute configurations to be determined. In the case of 2-naphtyltert-butylsulfoxide (1), the assignment was independently confirmed by anomalous dispersion using single crystal X-ray crystallography .I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
