2-Anthrylmethoxyacetic acid, a new chiral anisotropic reagent for elucidating the absolute configuration of acyclic alcohols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00898-2

(R) and (S)-2-anthrylmethoxyacetic acids (2ATMA) have been prepared to elucidate the absolute configuration of long-chain compounds containing a secondary hydroxy group, methyl 9-hydroxystearate and 10-nonacosanol (ginnol).
