(R)-1, 4-Benzodioxane-2-carboxilic acid (R)-1 was obtained by resolution of the racemic acid 1 with stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric (+)-dehydroabietylamine (+)-2 in high chemical yield and enantiomeric excess.(S)-1 was isolated from the mother liquors of the crystallisation of (R)-1·(+)-2 and its enantiomeric excess maximised by recrystallisation procedures involving a precipitation under kinetic control or, alternatively, by conversion ...
