Abstract

The discovery of lanthanide shift reagents [1] and the examination of their influence on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of various Lewis bases [2] have established their importance in structural determination for organic chemistry. More recently, chiral lanthanide tris-d-3-acyl-camphorates have been applied to the direct determination of enantiomorphic compositions [>3–6].
