What is it about?

discriminate between all stereoisomers of a compound with more then one chiral carbon atom

Why is it important?

For the first time eight different stereoisomers could be observed in one single experiment

Perspectives

The method is probably applicable to a wide range of organic molecules, provided that they are soluble in chloroform and have a hydroxy group
