Abstract
Tertiary alcohols.. 3-phenylhexan-3-ol and 3-methylhexane-3-ol, and their derivatives were synthesized. The reaction conditions of the esterification of the tertiary alcohol with 2-NO(2)PhCO(2)Cl and 4-NO(2)PhCO(2)Cl were optimized. The absolute configuration of the derivative from (S)-3-phenylhexan-3-ol was identified by X-ray study and computational methods. Experimental results confirmed the computational specific rotation predictions by DFT-based and matrix methods. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
