Abstract
A recently developed gas chromatographic method was used to determine quantitatively the enantiomeric composition as well as the amounts of accompanying impurities of an olefin, thus allowing calculation of its specific rotation. Applying this procedure it was found that the specific rotation of (+)-3-methylcyclopentene is more than double that reported in the literature, namely [α]D20 = + 174.5° ±4.5.
