A three-component chiral derivatization protocol for determining the enantiopurity of chiral diols by (1)H NMR spectroscopic analysis is described here. The present approach involves the derivatization of 1,2- 1,3- and 1,4-diols with 2-formylphenylboronic acid and enantiopure alpha-methylbenzylamine. This method affords
