Asymmetric Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of 12C/13C Isotopomers

J Am Chem Soc. 2019 Aug 28;141(34):13341-13345. doi: 10.1021/jacs.9b07181. Epub 2019 Aug 19.

Abstract

A synthesis of chiral hydrocarbons having C1 axis and C3 symmetry, which owe their chirality due to asymmetrical distribution of 12C/13C isotopes, is reported. Their absolute configurations assigned using the vibrational circular dichroism technique conform with those deduced from the absolute configurations of the parent α-formyl cyclopropanes.
