ABSTRACT
The absolute configuration of beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acids was studied by CD exciton chirality method using 7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carboxylate as a red-shifted chromophore. The CD spectra of bischromophoric derivatives of (S)-serine and (2S,3R)-threonine methyl esters (2 and 7) were compared with those of acyclic vic-aminoalcohols and diols (3--6 and 8--9). This study indicates that the polar carboxylate group of beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acids makes them a unique subclass of vic-aminoalcohols. By combining the data of CD and NMR coupling constants, we are able to correlate their preferred conformer B and positive CD to the corresponding absolute configuration.
