Method for determination of absolute configuration of chiral compounds

摘要

The present invention provides a simple, highly sensitive, and highly precise method for determining the absolute configuration of a chiral compound such as a diamine or an amino alcohol. The present invention is directed to a method for determining the absolute configuration of an asymmetric carbon of a chiral compound on the basis of the sign of the Cotton effect by analyzing a solution containing the chiral compound and a porphyrin dimer by circular dichroism spectroscopy.
