title: Application of chiral lanthanide shift reagents for assignment of absolute configuration of alcohols.
abstract: [structure: see text] The absolute configuration of secondary and tertiary alcohols can be predicted from analysis of the chemical shift behaviors of the CX- and CY-carbons in the presence of (R)- and (S)-Pr(tfc)3 as formulated in the boxes.
