Abstract
This study contains a combination of a review and a related individual case study, which discusses the possibility of predicting the success of enantiomers’ optical separation using fractional crystallization of diastereomeric salts. The key idea is to use relatively simple and rapid experimental methods, such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), to construct ternary melting diagrams. These diagrams can be used for visualization and predicting compositional conditions favorable for successful separation. The main limitations are also mentioned, such as the ideal eutectic behavior of components and the need to identify all crystalline phases in the system. For demonstration, three novel studies, attempts in ternary resolution systems of racemic o- and p-chloromandelic acids with chiral 1-cyclohexylethylamine or pregabalin, resulting in either…
