A general protocol for the design of successful chiral derivatizing agents (CDAs) for the NMR assignment
of absolute conguration is described. The design of the most efcient arylalkoxyacetic acid reagent for
the assignment of chiral thiols is taken as example. The importance of theoretical calculations in the
discovery of the conformational preference of modelled arylmethoxyacetic acid (AMAA) thioesters is
stressed, as well as NMR experiments to conrm the conformations predicted for the different CDAs and
to select for synthesis the most adequate for that substrate. The modication of the aryl moiety of the
AMAA system has shown not to provide especially good CDAs while the introduction of a sterically
hindered tert-BuO group results in a more appropriate conformation leading to 2-naphtyl-tert-butoxyacetic acid (2-NTBA) as the most efcient CDA for thiols.

1. Introduction
Since the seminal works of pioneers like Mosher,1 NMR methods
for the assignment of absolute conguration have experienced
a large development in the last decades and have given solutions to
researchers in many elds of Chemistry where to know the threedimensional structure of chiral structures is a must (Natural Products, Asymmetric Synthesis, Analysis of Pharmaceuticals.).2 In the
most usual approach, the absolute conguration of chiral substrates
(both mono- and polyfunctional compounds), such as: alcohols,2a,3
amines,2a,4 thiols,5 carboxylic acids,2a,6 cyanohydrins,7 diols,2c,8
aminoalcohols,2c,9 triols,2c,10 can be assigned by their reaction
with the two enantiomers of an appropriate chiral derivatizing
agent (CDA) followed by comparison of the 1H or 13C NMR spectra11
(or other nuclei, such as 19F or 31P in some cases)2 of the two diastereomeric derivatives obtained. To be more specic, the chemical shifts of the substituents bonded to the chiral centre of the
substrate (L1/L2) must be compared, and the absolute conguration
is determined in accordance with the signs of their differences
(DdRSL1 and DdRSL2)12 in both derivatives (Fig. 1).

The most successful CDAs without doubt have been those derived or closely related to a-chiral phenylacetic acid. The general
structure of this kind of auxiliaries is depicted in Fig. 3. It includes
an asymmetric atom, usually carbon (Ca), and directly bonded to it:
1) a linker group, 2) an anisotropy magnetic group, 3) an inductor
group (a main conformation-inducing group) and 4) a supplementary group.

than the experimental error are obtained for the L1/L2 groups
around the chiral center(s).
b) Dynamic NMR (DNMR) experiments can be carried out i.e., by
lowering the probe temperature in order to get information on
the conformational equilibrium and characteristics of the CDAsubstrate entity. Other experimental techniques, such as CD,
can also be very useful for this objective.
c) Theoretical calculations (MM, semiempirical, aromatic shielding effects, etc.) are an important tool in this context because
help to clarify the conformational scenario. Particularly important is to identify the minimum energy conformers, their
energy differences, the orientation of the anisotropic group and
the shielding effects on L1/L2 associated to each conformer. This
information should be coherent with the chemical shifts observed in the NMR spectra considering a fast equilibrium between conformers.
d) As a result of the previous points, the typical 3D spatial models
reecting the correlation between chemical shifts of L1/L2 (DdRS
signs) and their spatial location (absolute conguration) can be
hypothesized and submitted to experimental validation with
a series, as large and structurally varied as possible, of substrates of known absolute conguration.
2.2.2. Designing a new CDA: the importance of the theoretical calculations. If the use of known CDAs for the assignment of a new
class of substrate is not satisfactory (i.e., too small DdRS values or
irregular distribution of signs), then a new CDA should be designed,
synthesized and tested experimentally as outlined above.
In our experience, instead of proceeding to a blind search or to
introduce modications on known CDAs without a rational guidance, it is far better to carry out theoretical calculations on potentially interesting CDAs so that we can predict the effect of structural
modications.
A case where the protocol here outlined has proven to be particularly useful is represented by the search of CDA for the assignment of the absolute conguration of chiral secondary thiols.5
We describe here that protocol in the belief that it will be of use
for those interested in the design of CDAs.
2.3. Chiral thiols: a case study
The rst decision to be taken in the design of the CDA for thiols, is
the selection of linkage between the substrate (thiol) and the CDA.
Although there are obvious differences with carboxylic esters and
amides, thioester functionality seemed appropriate to start with.
Thus, just a few thiols of known absolute conguration and
considered as test compounds, were derivatized with the AMAAs of
Fig. 2 and the corresponding thioesters examined by NMR.5
Interestingly, the NMR spectra of those derivatives produced in
all cases essentially the same chemical shifts and small DdRS values,
independently of the aromatic ring present in the auxiliary.
Apart from the small DdRS values that may limit in some cases
the usefulness of those auxiliaries as CDAs for thiols, the lack of
NMR response when the aryl ring of the CDA is changed is surprising. In fact, the relative effectiveness of those CDAs to separate
the signals of enantiomeric alcohols and amines (carboxylic acid
ester and amide derivatives) is known to vary with the richness of
aromatic ring and the DdRS values increase in the order MPA<1NMA<2-NMA<9-AMA.4a,b,15
Obviously, the substitution of sulfur for oxygen in the linkage
between the CDA and the substrate breaks that rule probably due to
the different size, electronic, steric and conformational properties
of the thioester with respect to the carboxylic ester and amide
groups.
This stresses the need for developing a specic CDA for thiols
and following the reasoning of point 2 above, modelling studies

Two ap (ap1 and ap2) and two sp (sp1 and sp2) conformers are
found in the study of the rotation around the CaeOMe bond. The
difference between these two ap rotamers (or the two sp rotamers)
is the orientation of the methoxy group with respect to the carbonyl
group, that is, gauche for ap1 (or sp1) and anti for ap2 (or sp2).
Finally, the conformational preference around the CaeCAr bond
revealed a minimum energy structure, with the aryl ring and the
CaeOMe bond almost coplanar in the ap conformations (ap1 and
ap2) and the aryl ring and the CaeH bond coplanar in the sp (sp1
and sp2). For thioester 2, with a non symmetrically substituted
naphthyl group, both anti and syn orientations of the naphthyleH(2) with respect to the CaeH bond are signicative. In the
case of thioester 3, the anthryl ring and the CaeH bonds are almost
coplanar in ap and sp conformations. Both the phenyl and the
naphthyl rings are oriented with respect to the substrate part
similarly to MPA thioesters while in 3, the anthryl ring seems to be
rotated (Fig. 6).
Analysis on the AMAA thioesters of (S)-butane-2-thiol (4, 5, and
6) and () neomenthanethiol (7) produced conformations very
similar in structure and energy, to those of the AMAA thioesters of
methanothiol, suggesting that the nature of the thiol (R2) has not
much inuence on the geometry of the AMAA thioester moiety.20
3280
In the case of the 2-NMA thioesters (5), the shielding effects are
similar to those with the MPA because the conformational equilibra
are analogous, and the same distributions of DdRS signs are observed (Table 2). The change of the aromatic ring (2-naphtyl instead
of phenyl ring) increases slightly the DdRS values.
For its part, the introduction of the anthryl ring as in 9-AMA
thioesters (6) produced only very small DdRS in accordance with
the bad orientation of the anthryl group with respect to L1/L2
(Fig. 6).
Further experimental evidence on the reliability of the calculations to predict the energies and conformations can be obtained
from low temperature, solvent polarity and NOESY NMR
experiments.5
Thus, in accordance with the difference of energy between the
ap and sp main conformers (1.6 kcal/mol for MPA thioesters), the 1H
NMR spectra of these thioesters taken at different temperatures
(from 298 to 183 K) showed no changes on the L1/L2 chemical shifts
(Fig. 8). The only change observed, concerns H(20 ) and is attributed
to the interconversion between syn, c and c forms.

3. Conclusion
A general protocol for the design of reliable Chiral Derivatizing
Agents (CDAs) for the NMR assignment of absolute conguration of
organic compounds is presented using as example the development of a new arylalkoxyacetic acid based reagent for the
assignment of chiral thiols.
In this protocol, theoretical calculations play a central role to
predict the conformational composition of virtually modied arylalkoxyacetic acid reagents. Those predictions are then checked by
different NMR experiments identifying the substituents leading to
an optimal CDA.
In this way, energy calculations on modelled thioester derivatives predict that the modication of the aryl system of an
arylmethoxyacetic acid is not sufcient to provide a good CDA,
while the introduction of a sterically hindered tert-BuO group instead results in a more appropriate conformational composition.
Combination of both substitutions eventually led to 2-naphtyl-tertbutoxyacetic acid as the best suited CDA for thiols. The reliability of
this reagent has been checked with a number of chiral thiols of
known absolute conguration.
