Estimation of the Configurational Stability of Chiral Organometallic Reagents
Angewandte Chemie International Edition In EnglishPeer ReviewedHoffmann Reinhard W. +41987Journals
The relative rates of racemization of chiral organometallic reagents can be obtained by reaction of the racemic reagent with a chiral aldehyde–in one experiment, racemic, in the other, enantiomerically pure [Eq. (a)]. The greater the configurational stability of the reagent, the larger the difference in the product ratios for the racemic and the enantiomerically pure aldehyde.
