The synthesis and resolution of 1-phenyl-1-methyl-1-silacyclohexanone-2 by oxidative hydroboration of the related silacyclohexene to the silacyclohexanol, resolution of this via the strychnine salt of the phthalate half-ester, and subsequent oxidation of the silacyclohexanol to the silacyclohexanone is described. The carbon analog 1-phenyl-1-methylcyclohexanone-2 was also synthesized in optically active form. The (+)-enantiomers of the two ketones had similar optical rotatory dispersion curves, presenting convincing evidence for the identity of their configurations, and the carbon compound could be degraded without affecting the asymmetric center to (−)-(R)-2-phenyl-2-methylhexandioic acid, thereby establishing the absolute configurations of both compounds.

The Pfeiffer effect was studied in systems containing cinchonine hydrochloride and trisoxalatometallate(III) complexes of Al, Fe, Cr, Co, and Ir. The Pfeiffer rotatory dispersion curves of the Cr and Co complexes show Cotton effects analogous to that observed in the optical rotatory dispersion (o.r.d.) curves of the respective complexes. The source of the Pfeiffer effect in all these systems is attributed either to an association between the complex ion and the optically active species in solution alone, as in the case of the Ir(lII) complex, or to a combination of this association and an "equilibrium shift" between the two enantiomers in solution in favor of one of them, as in the case of the other complexes under investigation.

Catalytic hydrogenation of optically active 2-pyridyl ethylcarbinol (1) formed the alkaloid conhydrine (2) stereospecifically. Application of the von Braun reaction gave conversion of (+)-conhydrine into R-(−)-3-octyl benzoate and of (−)-conhydrine into the S-(+)-antimer. Both the relative and absolute configuration of the two asymmetric centers in natural (+)-conhydrine have been determined by the combined use of optical rotatory dispersion (o.r.d.) and circular dichroism (c.d.). The results are in agreement with other physical and chemical evidence.
