Abstract
The reliable determination of the absolute configuration of (+)- endo-2-norborneol 1, chosen as a representative case of simple aliphatic UV–vis transparent alcohols, was obtained by transforming this compound in its 1-naphthyl-diphenylmethyl ether 5 whose ECD spectrum displays several, low-lying, intense Cotton effects, which can be satisfactorily simulated in position, sign, and intensity by TDDFT/B3LYP/6-31G ∗ calculations. This result represents a possible, general, new approach to the absolute configuration of aliphatic alcohols.
