Determination of absolute configuration using vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy: The chiral sulfoxide 1‐thiochromanone S‐oxide

Abstract
We reexamined the absolute configuration (AC) of the chiral sulfoxide 1‐thiochromanone S‐oxide (1) using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. The VCD spectrum of 1 was analyzed using density functional theory (DFT). DFT predicts two stable conformations of 1, separated by S)‐1 is in excellent agreement with the experimental spectrum of (+)‐1. The AC of 1 is therefore definitively R(−)/S(+).
