title: Influence of the conformation of methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetates (2NMA esters) on their chemical reactions.
abstract: An SN2 reaction (NaI) of 1,7-di(methanesulfoxyl)heptadien-4-yl methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetate and a tributyltin hydride reduction of 1,7-diiodo-4-yl methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetate (2NMA) is crucial for determination of the absolute configuration of secondary alcohols.
