Abstract

The relative merits of the methods employed to determine enantiomeric excess (ee) values and absolute configurations of chiral arene and alkene cis-1,2-diol metabolites, including boronate formation, using racemic or enantiopure (+) and (-)-2-(1-methoxyethyl)phenylboronic acid (MEPBA), are discussed. Further applications of: 1) MEPBA derived boronates of chiral mono- and poly-cyclic arene cis-dihydrodiol, cyclohex-2-en-1-one cis-diol, heteroarene cis/trans-2,3-diol, and catechol metabolites in estimating their ee values, and 2) new chiral phenylboronic acids, 2-[1-methoxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl]phenyl boronic acid (MDPBA) and 2-[1-methoxy-1-phenylmethyl]phenyl boronic acid (MPPBA) and their advantages over MEPBA, as reagents for stereochemical analysis of arene and alkene cis-diol metabolites, are presented.
