Abstract
(Matrix Presented) A chiral aldehyde that forms resonance-assisted hydrogen bonded imines with amino acids has been developed. This hydrogen bond not only increases the equilibrium constant for imine formation but also provides a highly downfield-shifted NMR singlet for evaluating enantiomeric excess and absolute stereochemistry of amino acids.
