“…Although this topic is not directly related to the category of helicene applications, it is an important background for the whole helicene chemistry; hence, a brief description should be included as a special section. The major methods of obtaining enantiopure helicenes from a racemic mixture are based on optical resolution by chiral HPLC [60,77,78,83,101], diastereomeric salt formation [51,60,76] (for representative resolving agents, see Figure 22), chromatographic separation of diastereomers [52,56,74], and enzymatic-based approaches [97]. …”
