The configuration of (+)-2,3-diphenylpropanoic acid has been related to that of (R)-(–)-2-phenylpropanoic acid by converting both acids into (+)-1,2-diphenylpropane. The configuration of (+)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanoic acid has been related to that of (R)-(+)-3-phenyl-2-(2-thienyl)propanoic acid by converting both acids into (+)-2-methyl-1-phenylhexane. (R)-(+)-3-Phenyl-2-(2-thienyl)propanoic acid has
通过将两种酸都转化为(+)-1,2-二苯基
丙烷,(+)-
2,3-二苯基丙酸的构型与(R)-(–)-
2-苯基丙酸的构型有关。通过将两种酸都转化为(+),(+)-2-甲基-
3-苯基丙酸的构型与(R)-(+)-3-苯基-2-(2-
噻吩基)
丙酸的构型有关。 -2-甲基-1-苯基己烷。(R)-(+)-3-苯基-2-(2-
噻吩基)
丙酸也已还原为(-)-2-苄基
己酸,从而确定了后者的构型。
