Description

Mosher's acid, also known as (R)-(-)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid, is a chiral reagent commonly used in organic chemistry. It is synthesized from commercially available (R)-(-)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetate by hydrolysis. Mosher's acid is widely used to determine the absolute configuration of chiral molecules, particularly in stereochemical analysis. Its importance arises from its ability to form diastereomeric esters with chiral alcohols, where the difference in chemical shifts between the diastereomers can be used to deduce the configuration of the alcohol. The study of Mosher's acid focuses on its application in stereochemical analysis, particularly in resolving enantiomeric mixtures and determining the absolute configuration of chiral molecules.'
