A new method was developed to assign the absolute configuration of molecules using kinetic resolution catalysts. Secondary alcohols were acylated in the presence of Birman's S-HBTM and R-HBTM catalysts, and the fast-reacting catalyst was identified by NMR analysis of the reaction mixture. A mnemonic was developed to assign configuration based on the identity of the fast-reacting catalyst. The method uses only 1-3 mg of alcohol, and it is more convenient than the Mosher method. The kinetic resolution strategy may be extended to other classes of molecules.
开发了一种新方法,通过使用动力学拆分催化剂来确定分子的绝对构型。在 Birman 的 S-HBTM 和 R-HBTM 催化剂的存在下,对仲醇进行酰化,通过反应混合物的 NMR 分析来鉴定快速反应的催化剂。开发了一个助记符,根据快速反应催化剂的身份来分配构型。该方法仅使用 1-3 毫克的醇,比 Mosher 方法更方便。动力学拆分策略可能会扩展到其他类别的分子。
