Rare, Neglected and Potential Synthetic Methods for the Separation of Enantiomers

Neglected and Potential Synthetic Methods for the Separation of Enantiomers 

The history of our efforts to separate enantiomers is long, with many ingenious methods resulting. This chapter examines those methods that have not yet made it into the Hall of Fame, either because they have to date not impressed or they are too young to have done so. 

Resolution through the Selfish Growth of Polymers Stereoselective Polymerization 

Related to the process of crystallization is the growth of a polymer from a pool of available molecules in a racemate. There are many studies of the spectacular generation of intrinsically chiral supramolecular structures such as hehces, often from achiral materials seeded by a small amount of a chiral additive [6-9], but these are not preparative methods for the separation of enantiomers in any meaningful sense, even though the helices can themselves be stable, chiral structures that are separable by chromatography - these are not the enantiomers of primary interest
