    • Differentiations of Enantiomers via Their Diastereomeric Association Complexes—There Are Two Ways of Shaking Hands

      Albrecht Mannschreck and Roland Kiesswetter
      Journal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1034

      The intermolecular interactions of one enantiomer with a chiral auxiliary molecule and the interactions of the other enantiomer with the auxiliary are considered. Different functions of the latter give rise to the following well-known aspects of organic ...

    Synthesis of a Racemic Ester and Its Lipase-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution

    Delia Stetca , Isabel W. C. E. Arends and Ulf Hanefeld
    Journal of Chemical Education2002 79 (11), 1351
    • Synthesis of a Racemic Ester and Its Lipase-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution

      Delia Stetca , Isabel W. C. E. Arends and Ulf Hanefeld
      Journal of Chemical Education2002 79 (11), 1351

      A first-year organic chemistry laboratory experiment is described in which an enzyme is utilized for the kinetic resolution of a racemic ester. In the first step, the racemic ester is synthesized from racemic 1-phenylethanol and acetic anhydride in the ...
