Abstract

Interest in homochiral substances is rapidly increasing especially because of their importance as intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry. The development of suitable biotechnological methods and chiral syntheses for the preparation of pure enantiomers is impressive. However, processes based on optical resolution by selective crystallization of diastereomeric salts are still among the most important and profitable methods for the ...
