Application

(S)-(+)-2-Heptanol can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  •  (S)-(+)-2-benzoyloxyheptane by treating with benzoyl anhydride and Et3N in the presence of DMAP.       
  • (S)-2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)heptane by reacting with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride.      
  •   (+)-2-Heptyl acetate by treating with acetyl chloride.

The absolute configurations of chiral β-mercaptoalkanones were previously assigned on the basis of the 1H NMR anisotropy method using (S)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid ((S)-MαNP) as the chiral auxiliary. This study presents a reinvestigation of the configurations of 4-mercapto-2-pentanone 1, 4-mercapto-2-heptanone 2, and
