摘要:
Five chiral arylglycerol ethers 2-R-C6H4-O-CH2CH(OH)CHOH (R = OMe, OEt, OPrn, OPri, OBui) have been prepared in racemic and enantiopure form. The melting points and enthalpies of fusion of every species were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Binary phase diagrams were reconstructed for the whole family, the entropies of the mixing of the enantiomers in the liquid state. and Gibbs free energy of formation of the racemic compound, as well as Pettersson i-values were derived from the thermal data. The differences in the phase behavior of the investigated compounds were associated with the conformations of the alkoxy fragments. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
