Abstract

Abstract Cyclic boronates and acetals of mono-and dialkylsubstituted 1, 2-, 2, 3-1, 3-& 1, 4- diols have been quantitatively separated into enantiomers by complexation gas chromatography utilizing optically active metal chelates. An efficient, precise & sensitive method for determining enantiomeric purities for volatile glycols is thus available.
