Empirical rules based on chromophores, although beautifully simple, turn out to be too constrained to be of general use. This computational study of selected 3-methylhexane and camphor derivatives demonstrates the limitations of focusing on chromophores. We conclude that in a hybrid of experiment and theoretical computation lies the future of determining absolute configurations.
