Will optical resolution by HPLC with chiral columns become obsolete? With a new technique, which should be amenable to upscaling, suspensions of crystalline host compounds such as 1 and 2 in hexane or water form 1:1 complexes with the one enantiomer of a racemic alcohol or ether such as 3 and 4 that fits best into its lattice. The two enantiomers can then be separated by vacuum distillation. (Figure Presented.) Copyright © 1994 by VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Germany
