Chiral discrimination of secondary alcohols by both 1H-NMR and HPLC after labeling with a chiral derivatization reagent, 2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximide)cyclohexane carboxylic acid.
Enantiomeric discrimination of chiral secondary alcohols was performed by both reversed-phase HPLC and 1H-NMR after labeling with a chiral fluorescent derivatization reagent, 2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximide)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. It was possible to discriminate by HPLC the chirality of alcohols up to C30 having a chiral hydroxyl group at the middle of the straight alkyl chain, and, by 1H-NMR, alcohols up to C16. For alcohols having one straight alkyl and one isoalkyl group with the same carbon numbers at both sides of a hydroxyl group, it was possible to discriminate the chiralities of alcohols up to C19 by both 1H-NMR and HPLC. The 1H-NMR methods also made it possible to determine absolute configurations empirically.
