The absolute configuration ofl-iiictliyi-2, 2-diphenylcyclopropane has been determined by a direct chemical correlation with (+)-R-propylene oxide and with (—)-S-2-methyl-3, 3-diphenylpropionic acid. The absolute configuration of the latter was established from the optical rotatory dispersion curves of the corresponding methyl ketone, aldehyde and mor-pliolinothiocarbamide derivatives. The above findings are compared with a previous tentative assignment of absolute configuration to 2, 2-diphenyicyclopropanecarboxylic acid, which hadbeen based on the results of partial asymmetric syntheses. The results of the chemical correlation and the asymmetric syntheses are shown to be compatible if one assumes that a “diazo-exchange” reaction has occurred in the addition of diazodiphenylmethane to the menthyl acrylate and methacrylate.
