SummaryThe stereodifferentiation of chiral secondary alcohols, 4(5)-alkyl-substituted y (b)-lactonesvia corresponding 1,4(1,5)-diols, chiral l,bdiols, and 1-thioalkan-3-01s was carried out by diastereomeric derivatiration with (S)-0-acetyllactyl chloride as a chiral auxiliary. This procedure is a convenient and reliable method for screening the enantiomeric composition of these naturally occurring flavor volatiles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
