Abstract

Surprisingly stable anti-periplanar conformers of CFTA amides form the basis of a new and very reliable method for determining the absolute configuration of chiral primary amines by 1H NMR spectroscopy (see picture). CFTA = α-cyano-α-fluoro-p-tolylacetic acid. (Chemical Equation Presented).
