Abstract

Assigning absolute configuration of molecules continues to be a major problem. Determining absolute configuration in conformationally flexible systems is challenging, even for experts. Here, we present a case study in which we use a combination of molecular modeling, solution NMR, and X-ray crystallography to illustrate why it is difficult to use solution methods alone for configuration assignment. For the case examined, a comparison of calculated and experimental optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) data provides the most straightforward way to assign the absolute configuration.
