Abstract

Novel optical resolutions of guest compounds by inclusion complex formation with optically active host compound are reviewed. Tertiary acetylenic alcohols, cyanohydrins, and secondary alcohols were resolved by complexation with alkaloids such as brucine or sparteine. Cycloalkanones, 2,3-epoxycyclohexanones, and some other neutral compounds were resolved by complex formation with optically active diacetylenic diol. Mutual optical resolution of bis-β-naphthol and sulfoxides by complex formation was also reviewed.
