Abstract

Density functional theory calculation of the vibrational circular dichroism spectrum was used to assign the absolute configuration of an all-carbon quaternary β-stereocenter of a γ-butyrolactone recently synthesized through an asymmetric organocatalytic tandem aldol/lactonization sequence. Comparison with the experimental spectrum is satisfactory, on account of the fact that spectroscopic features are weak due to the presence of multiple conformers. As a result, the (R) absolute configuration was assigned to the (+) optical isomer. Chirality 28:110-115, 2016.
