Using the nature of the achiral solvent to orient chiral resolution

CrystEngComm, 2024, 26,2056-2059
DOI: 10.1039/D4CE00124A, Communication
Joséphine de Meester, Oleksii Shemchuk, Laurent Collard, Johan Wouters, Simon Baillieux, Koen Robeyns, Tom Leyssens
Both (R)- and (S)-Binol can be resolved from a racemic mixture using the same (R,R)-diamine resolving agent, merely adapting the nature of the solvent. This peculiarity is explained by the existence of both a diastereomeric as well as enantiospecific solvate cocrystal system.
