title: Toward the creation of NMR databases in chiral solvents: bidentate chiral NMR solvents for assignment of the absolute configuration of acyclic secondary alcohols.
abstract: The absolute configuration of acyclic secondary alcohols can be established from analysis of the chemical shift behaviors of the adjacent carbons in bidentate chiral solvents (R,R)- and (S,S)-1d as formulated in the boxed illustration.
