✦ Synopsis
A new method has been developed for determining the absolute configurations of acyclic [5-or ~--methyl substituted secondary alcohols using their 2NMA esters. The 1H-NMR spectra of (R)-and (S)-2NMA esters of model compounds were measured, and A6 values (6R.este r --6S_este r) for the corresponding protons were compared between syn and anti compounds. Threshold values important for judging the relative stereoehemistry of the two chiral centers bearing methyl and hydroxy groups were obtained. The absolute configuration of the chiral omter bearing a secondary hydroxy group is easily determined based on the sign of A6 values as in the MTPA method and thus in the present study it was also possible to clearly determine the absolute configuration of the chiral center bearing a methyl group.

It is shown that the cheap and easily prepared mandelic acid esters (or their OAc analogues) are best suited than the expensive, although usually employed, OMe mandelic acid esters to assess both the enantiomeric excesses and absolute configurations of secondary alcohols.
The LIS values produced by Eu(fodJ3 for the CF3-19F NMR signals of the MlTA e s t e r s of different stereoisomeric secondary alcohols have been measured. The applicability o f these values for assigning the absolute configuration of the alcohols has been studied. The advantages of t h i s method ov
