title: Elucidation of the mechanism of chiral selectivity in diastereomeric salt formation using organic solvent nanofiltration.
abstract: Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) was used to investigate the mechanism of chiral selectivity in diastereomeric salt formation of alpha-phenylethylamine with D-tartaric acid and di-p-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid as resolving agents; results indicate that for these systems chiral selectivity occurs only upon crystallisation and chiral interactions in solution were negligible.
