✦ Synopsis


Hydrogen phthalates of (R)-and (S)-isopropylidene glycerol, obtainable from racemic isopropylidene glycerol by reaction with phthalic anhydride and successive resolution with (S)-and (R)-l-phenylethylamine or, alternatively, from (R)-and (S)-isopropylidene glycerol, were regarded as potential new resolving agents. A range of important 1arylethylamines was selected to test their resolving capability. In particular, trial resolutions were carried out using equivalent amounts of racemic amine and hydrogen phthalate of (R)isopropylidene glycerol. The salts of the S isomers selectively crystallized from methanol or 2propanol allowing to recover the (S)-1 -arylethylamines in high chemical and optical yields.
