Abstract:
The ability of threo-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol (1t) as a resolving agent for the enantioseparation of carboxylic acids via diastereomeric salt formation was investigated. Although (-)-1t was not applicable to the enantioseparation of racemic 2-arylalkanoic acids and mandelic acid, enantiomers of tropic acid and 2-halomandelic acids were efficiently separated by salt formation with (-)-1t. This resolving ability was complementary to that of the corresponding erythro-isomer (1e). The hydrogen-bonding patterns and molecular packing mode of the less-soluble diastereomeric salts of (-)-1t were revealed based on the crystallographic analysis.

SN1 Reaction: Stereochemistry
In the first step of an SN1 reaction, the bond between the electrophilic carbon and the leaving group ionizes to generate the carbocation intermediate. The second step of the mechanism is the nucleophilic attack.
In the formed carbocation, the positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized with a trigonal planar geometry. As all the three substituents lie on the same plane, a plane of symmetry for the...
