Abstract

An optically active secondary alcohol is treated by an equimolecular mixture of (+)-2-phenylbutyric and (−)-2-phenyl-4-d-butyric anhydrides. The configuration of the carbon atom bearing the OH group is deduced from the relative heights of peaks m/z 120 and 119 observed in the mass spectra of the resulting diastereoisomeric esters.
