Abstract: | The determination of the absolute configuration of chiral molecules is an important aspect of molecular stereochemistry. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) is the extension of electronic CD into the infrared region where fundamental vibrational transitions occur. VCD has a number of advantages over all previous methods of absolute configuration assignment. The absolute configuration and predominant solution-state conformation in CDCl(3) of the chiral lactone, 5-formyl-cis,cis-1,3,5-trimethyl-3-hydroxymethylcyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid lactone, 1, obtained by the comparison of measured and calculated VCD spectra, are reported. It is found that (-)-1 corresponds to the absolute configuration (1S,3S,5R)-1. |
