Notes:
Second derivatives of the UV spectra of 2-(4-alkoxybenzyl)cyclopentan-1-ols and their acetates were used for the quantitative analysis of reaction kinetics of enzyme-mediated hydrolytic process. To determine the enantiomeric purity of the products using non-chiral HPLC columns, their diastereoisomeric esters of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid(MTPA) were prepared. The absolute configuration of the products was established using a combination of the results of a HPLC analysis and 1H/19F-NMR measurements of the diastereoisomeric MTP esters. The analytical method described consists of an easy routine HPLC analysis which can sometimes be used as a quick on-line analysis of the reaction kinetics and as a quick stepwise analysis of the optical purity and the absolute configuration of the products.
