Abstract
The absolute configurations of the enantiomers of a variety of racemic secondary and primary alcohols and racemic primary amines have been correctly predicted from the results of kinetic resolution with (2R,3R)-2,3-diacetoxysuccinic anhydride. In the prediction model (1), allocation of relative sizes to the groups attached to the chiral centre was based on conformational free energy differences.
