Optical purifications via self-disproportionation of enantiomers by achiral chromatography: case study of a series of α-CF3-containing secondary alcohols.

This work demonstrates that self-disproportionation of enantiomers via achiral chromatography can be recommended as inexpensive and general method for optical purification of enantiomerically enriched compounds. In particular, the advantage of this approach over conventional recrystallization is that it can be used for both crystalline as well as liquid compounds.
