Use of Shift Reagent with MTPA Derivatives in 19F NMR Spectroscopy IV - Determination of Enantiomeric Composition for a Variety of Secondary Cycloalkanols. A Survey

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/omr.1270210609

Chiral secondary cycloalkanols (monpocyclic alcohols) are derivatized to the corresponding (R)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethyl-α-phenylacetic acid <(R)-MTPA> esters and analysed by 19F NMR in the presence of tris(6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionato)europium(III) .Using this method the enantiomeric composition can be measured for severak cyclopentanols, cyclohexanols and cycloheptanols, with a variety of substitution patterns.It is shown that a mixture of four stereoisomeric cycloalkanols, such as cis and trans disubstituted alcohols, can be analysed simultaneously.
