Absolute Configuration of Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Enantiomers Identified by Gas Chromatography: Theorized Application for Isoprenoid Alkanes and the Search of Molecular Biosignatures on Mars
Acyclic saturated hydrocarbon enantiomers were resolved by gas chromatography using a β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase. The stereospecific synthesis of single enantiomers of 4-methyloctane allowed to assign the absolute stereochemical configuration to the resolved enantiomers. Data show...
