Abstract

The determination of absolute configurations of carboxylic acids by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is often complicated by self-aggregation and the subsequent need to compute the spectra of the aggregates. We show that 7-azaindole effectively breaks up these aggregates by stronger complemental hydrogen bonding to the COOH moiety, enabling drastic simplification and acceleration of VCD spectra calculations.
