Attempts were made to develop an exciton chirality method applicable to the unique cases represented by 3-hydroxycarotenoids. However, this approach has so far not been successful. The 3-hydroxy configurations were therefore determined by the extended Mosher 1H-NMR method. Nine carotenoids with seven different end groups and of known 3-hydroxy configurations were derivatized with (R)- and (S)-methoxyphenylacetic acid (MPA); they all gave the expected shift differences. Three other auxiliary reagents with naphthalene and anthracene nuclei gave larger and consistent NMR shift differences, but they are not yet commercially available.

胡萝卜素所代表的独特情况的激子手性方法。然而,这种方法至今尚未成功。因此,3-羟基构型是通过扩展的 Mosher 1H-NMR 方法确定的。用(R)-和(S)-
甲氧基苯乙酸(MPA)对九种具有七个不同末端基团和已知 3- 羟基构型的类
胡萝卜素进行了衍生化;它们都产生了预期的位移差异。另外三种具有

蒽核的辅助试剂产生了更大且一致的核磁共振位移差异,但这些试剂尚未在市场上销售。
