Abstract

Enantiomeric excesses of several alcohols and an amine have been determined by derivatization with racemic 2′-methoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl-2-carbonyl chloride rac-1, with no requirement for kinetic resolution in the acylation step. The necessary information is provided instead by CD and UV spectra of the derived esters and amides, the chiral signal being dominated by the binaphthyl component.
