To determine the absolute configurations of chiral compounds, many spectroscopic and
diffraction methods have been developed. Among them, X‐ray crystallographic Bijvoet …

To obtain enantiopure compounds, the so-called chiral high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) method, ie, HPLC using a chiral stationary phase, is very useful, as …

Racemic 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl) propionic acid (1, MαNP acid) was enantioresolved as its
esters derived from various chiral alcohols. For example, a diastereomeric mixture of esters …

A novel methodology using a chiral molecular tool of MαNP acid (1), 2‐methoxy‐2‐(1‐
naphthyl) propionic acid, useful for preparation of enantiopure secondary alcohols and …

The enantioresolution of racemic alcohols as esters of 2‐methoxy‐2‐(1‐naphthyl) propionic
acid (MαNP acid 1) and the determination of their absolute configurations on the basis of 1H …

Abstract Enantiopure phthalides 2 and 5–8 were synthesized via enantioresolution of the
corresponding alcohols with a chiral auxiliary of camphorsultam dichlorophthalic acid,(1S …

A convenient method for determining the absolute configuration of chiral secondary alcohols
using the racemic NMR anisotropy reagent,(±)‐2‐methoxy‐2‐(1‐naphthyl) propionic acid …

Using chiral auxiliaries, 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl) propionic acid (MαNP acid)(S)-(+)-1 and
its deuterium-labeled enantiomer (R)-(−)-1-dn (n= 3 or 6), we have developed a new …

The MαNP acid method is very powerful for the preparation of enantiopure alcohols by
resolution and the simultaneous determination of their absolute configurations by the 1H …

Inherently chiral anti-O, O′-dibenzyl-p-tert-butylcalix [4] arene 1 was resolved as the (S)-2-
methoxy-2-(naphthalen-1-yl) propionic ester by flash chromatography. Conversely, the anti …
