Circular dichroism of the isotopically dissymmetric molecules (1R,2S)-[1-2H]- and (1R,2S)-[1-18O]-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-diphenylethane
Abstract
The circular dichroism of the related pair of isotopically dissymmetric molecules (1R,2S)-[1-2H] and (1R,2S)-[1-18O]-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-diphenylethane allows the time-averaged conformation of achiral meso-hydrobenzoin to be rather closely defined.
