The chiral differentiation of the enantiomers of 2‐methylbutanoic acid, 2‐methylpentanoic acid and 2‐methylhexanoic acid was achieved by diastereomeric derivatization with (R) ‐( – )‐pantolactone. GC separation on achiral DB‐1, DB‐1701 and DB‐WAX capillary columns as well as 1 H‐ and 13 C‐NMR enantiodiscrimination were obtained, affording good resolution and quantitative evaluation of enantiomer composition. The method applied to 2‐methylbutanoic acid present in the aromatic fraction extracted from cultivated strawberry ( Fragaria vesca ) indicated a high enantiomeric excess of the (S) ‐isomer.
