Mosher’s (* H) method to elucidate the absolute configuration of secondary alcohols was reexamined by use of high-field FT NMR spectroscopy, which enables assignment of most of the protons of complex molecules. There isa systematic arrangement of 5 (áj-SR) values obtainedfor the (/?)-and (S)-MTPA esters of (-)-menthol,(-)-borneol, cholesterol, and ergosterol, the absolute configurationsof which are known. Analysis of the AS values of these compounds led to a rule that could predict the absolute configurations of natural products. When this rule was applied to some marine terpenoids including cembranolides and xenicanes, their absolute configurations were assigned and a part of the results were confirmed by X-ray structural analyses. In the case of sipholenol A, which has a sterically hindered OH group, this rule is inapplicable. But the problem is overcome by inverting the OH groupto a less sterically hindered position; the resulting epimer gives systematically arranged AS values, which enabled the elucidation of the absolute configuration. Comparison of the present method with Mosher’s 19F method indicates that the latter one using 19F NMR lacks in rehab
