Abstract Specific features of melting of crystalline samples of 3-(2-R-phenoxy) propane-1, 2- diols with different enantiomeric compositions were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The melting points and enthalpies of melting for the racemate and individual stereoisomers were determined. Binary phase diagrams were constructed. The entropy of mixing of individual enantiomers in the liquid phase and the free energy of formation of the ...
