“…The major methods of obtaining enantiopure helicenes from a racemic mixture are based on optical resolution by chiral HPLC [60,77,78,83,101], diastereomeric salt formation [51,60,76] (for representative resolving agents, see Figure 22), chromatographic separation of diastereomers [52,56,74], and enzymatic-based approaches [97]. For example, racemic nonfunctionalized helicenes were successfully resolved through charge transfer complexation with electron-deficient molecules, such as TAPA [15,16] or HPLC-based separation with the use of silica coated with TAPA [106]. In the case of functionalized helicenecontaining phenolic groups at the terminal ring, (1S)-camphanic chloride acts as the best resolving agent for chromatographically separable diastereomers obtained.…”
