Abstract

The unsymmetrically substituted arsinic acid ethylphenylarsinic acid, when dissolved in methanol-d4 or ethanol-d6, formed esters in which the chiral nature of the arsenic atom was clearly revealed by the diastereotopicity and resulting anisochrony of the protons of the methylene component of the ethyl group attached to arsenic.
