Extreme enantiomeric discrimination of fluoroalkanes using deuterium NMR in chiral liquid crystalline media.
The enantiomeric assay of fluoroalkanes using 2H-NMR in a chiral liquid crystalline medium is demonstrated, and at its limit the enantiomers of [5-(2)H]-5-fluorodecane were successfully resolved.
