Abstract
The present invention provides three optical resolution methods. The first aspect comprises the steps of adding an optically active bifunctional resolving reagent to a bifunctional compound to form a liquid material, precipitating crystals therefrom, and treating the crystals and the liquid material separately with an acidic material, a basic material, or a basic material and an acidic material, to obtain a pair of enantiomers of an optically active bifunctional compound. The second aspect comprises an optical resolution method by which one necessary enantiomer of a pair of enantiomers in an optically active bifunctional compound is exclusively obtained. The third aspect comprises a method for racemizing one unnecessary enantiomer of a pair of enantiomers in an optically active bifunctional compound which is formed by the optical resolution method of the present invention.
