R/S mixture of monoterpene alcohol cis-verbenol can be separated in preparative scale by its conversion into phthalic mono-ester and subsequent crystallization of its diastereomeric salts with (R)-α-methylbenzylamine and (S)-α-methylbenzylamine. Finally, basic methanolysis of the resolved phthalic mono-esters results (S)-cis-verbenol and (R)-cis-verbenol in high enantiomeric and diastereomeric purity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
