P. Delbuttero et al., (-)-(1S)-TRICARBONYL(ETA(6)-2-METHOXYBENZYL ALCOHOL)CHROMIUM(0) AS A RESOLVING AGENT FOR TRICARBONYL (ETA(6)-2-METHOXYBENZOIC ACID)CHROMIUM(0), Gazzetta chimica italiana, 127(10), 1997, pp. 547-549
Racemic tricarbonyl(eta(6)-2-methoxybenzoic acid)chromium(0) has been
resolved by esterification with the enantiomerically pure tricarbonyl(
eta(6)-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol)chromium(0). After hydrolysis, the reso
lving agent was recovered in 66% yield and with unchanged optical puri
ty.
