Tertiary alcohols, 3-phenylhexan-3-ol and 3-methylhexane-3-ol, and their derivatives were synthesized. The reaction conditions of the esterification of the tertiary alcohol with 2-NO2PhCO2Cl and 4-NO2PhCO2Cl were optimized. The absolute configuration of the derivative from (S)-3-phenylhexan-3-ol was identified by X-ray study and computational methods. Experimental results confirmed the computational specific rotation predictions by DFT-based and matrix methods.
