In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Spontaneous resolution among chiral glycerol derivatives: crystallization features of ortho-alkoxysubstituted phenyl glycerol ethers, published in 2007-08-22, which mentions a compound: 60827-45-4, Name is (2S)-(+)-3-Chloropropane-1,2-diol, Molecular C3H7ClO2, Computed Properties of C3H7ClO2.
Five chiral arylglycerol ethers 2-R-C6H4-O-CH2CH(OH)CH2OH (R = OMe, OEt, OPrn, OPri, OBut) have been prepared in racemic and enantiopure form. The m.ps. and enthalpies of fusion of every species were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Binary phase diagrams were reconstructed for the whole family, the entropies of the mixing of the enantiomers in the liquid state, and Gibbs free energy of formation of the racemic compound, as well as Pettersson i-values were derived from the thermal data. The differences in the phase behavior of the investigated compounds were associated with the conformations of the alkoxy fragments.
