Optical rotatory dispersion studies of 2H-naphtho(1,8-bc)- and naphtho(2,3-b)furan derivatives

Abstract
The study of the optical rotatory dispersion (o.r.d.) curves of some derivatives of the title systems, possessing various degrees of oxidation which contain asymmetrical centers near the chromophores, permits correlations between Cotton effects and stereochemistry. The configurations of those asymmetrical centers not known earlier, have been determined with the aid of the o.r.d. curves.
