Chapter 3.9: Separation of Enantiomers- Resolution

Question 1

Define chromatography

Answer 1

a separation method involving passing a vapor or solution mixture through a column packed with a material with different affinities for different components of the mixture

Question 2

Define resolution (enantiomers)

Answer 2

a separation of a racemic mixture into its enantiomers

Question 3

What is a separation of a racemic mixture into its enantiomers?

Answer 3

resolution

Question 4

How do you separate enantiomers by means of diastereomeric salts?

Answer 4

o One general scheme for separating enantiomers requires chemical conversion of a pair of enantiomers into two diastereomers with the aid of an enantiomerically pure chiral resolving agent

Question 5

What is a separation method involving passing a vapor or solution mixture through a column packed with a material with different affinities for different components of the mixture?

Answer 5

chromatography
