Thermo-responsive recoverable polymeric inhibitors for the resolution of racemic amino acids

Ye, Xichong | Zhang, Jie | Cui, Jiaxi | Wan, Xinhua

Novel polymeric inhibitors with lower critical solution temperatures in water were prepared and used to mediate the crystallization of racemic asparagine monohydrate, leading to chiral separation with 88.6 ee%. They could be recollected by simply elevating the temperature with a high yield of around 95% and reused without compromising the stereoselectivity and stability.
