The 9 — 15 fragment was prepared by a similar route. Once again Sharpless kinetic resolution method was applied, but in the opposite sense, i.e., at 29% conversion a mixture of the racemic olefin educt with the virtually pure epoxide stereoisomer was obtained. On acid-catalysed epoxide opening and lactonization the stereocentre C-12 was inverted, and the pure dihydroxy lactone was isolated. This was methylated, protected as the acetonide, reduced to the lactol, protected by Wittig olefination and silylation, and finally ozonolysed to give the desired aldehyde.

Resolution methods using nonopticaHy active agents are also used by taking advantage of the fact that certain benzoic acid derivatives of (A)-menthol can be inoculated with crystals of one enantiomer to induce immediate crystallization of that enantiomer. Although repeated crystallizations and separations must be done, the technique has been successhil for (—)-mentho1 (157). 

In order to further extend the utility of fluorescence methods the use of time-resolution methods, fluorescence polarization, and laser techniques should be explored. The addition of other dyes with enhanced fluorescence properties on binding and increased selectivity to various types of nucleic acids will be necessary to further develop more useful analytical methods.

Traditionally, the penetration of chlorides and sodium is measured destructively by grinding layers of concrete and chemically analyzing the powder samples. These data are used to calculate diffusion coefficients for the ions. This procedure is very slow, has low spatial resolution, and is destructive. The measured data are critically important for the development of service life models and therefore a rapid, high-resolution method to monitor the ingress of these ions is desirable. 

Our approach for chiral resolution is quite systematic. Instead of randomly screening different chiral acids with racemic 7, optically pure N-pMB 19 was prepared from 2, provided to us from Medicinal Chemistry. With 19, several salts with both enantiomers of chiral acids were prepared for evaluation of their crystallinity and solubility in various solvent systems. This is a more systematic way to discover an efficient classical resolution. First, a (+)-camphorsulfonic acid salt of 19 crystallized from EtOAc. One month later, a diastereomeric (-)-camphorsulfonic acid salt of 19 also crystallized. After several investigations on the two diastereomeric crystalline salts, it was determined that racemic 7 could be resolved nicely with (+)-camphorsulfonic acid from n-BuOAc kinetically. In practice, by heating racemic 7 with 1.3equiv (+)-camphorsulfonic acid in n-BuOAc under reflux for 30 min then slowly cooling to room temperature, a cmde diastereomeric mixture of the salt (59% ee) was obtained as a first crop. The first crop was recrystallized from n-BuOAc providing 95% ee salt 20 in 43% isolated yield. (The optical purity was further improved to -100% ee by additional recrystallization from n-BuOAc and the overall crystallization yield was 41%). This chiral resolution method was more efficient and economical than the original bis-camphanyl amide method. 

A classical chiral resolution method was established, prior to investigation of the asymmetric addition of lithium acetylide to the ketimine 5. 

Introduction Since we had already developed the novel asymmetric addition of lithium acetylide to ketimine 5, we did not spend any time on investigating any chiral resolution methods for Efavirenz . Our previous method was applied to 41. In the presence of the lithium alkoxide of cinchona alkaloids, the reaction proceeded to afford the desired alcohol 45, as expected, but the enantiomeric excess of 45 was only in the range 50-60%. After screening various readily accessible chiral amino alcohols, it was found that a derivative of ephedrine, (1J ,2S) l-phenyl-2-(l-pyrrolidinyl)propan-l-ol (46), provided the best enantiomeric excess of 45 (as high as 98%) with an excellent yield (vide infra). Prior to the development of asymmetric addition in detail, we had to prepare two additional reagents, the chiral modifier 46 and cyclopropylacetylene (37). 

The first examples of optically active organogermanium compounds [see Ref. 2)] in which the metal atom is again the only chiral center were published in 1963, by Eaborn 3 and by Brook4>. They prepared optically pure (+)-ethyl- and (-)-methyl- 1-naphthylphenylgermanium hydrides, using Sommer s resolution method u. 

Multivariate curve resolution methods (MCR [17]) describe a family of chemometric procedures used to identify and solve the contributions existing in a data set. These procedures have been traditionally applied for the resolution of multiple chemical components in mixtures investigated by spectroscopic analysis techniques [18].
