Question
Another strategy used to resolve amino acids involves converting the carboxy group to an ester and then using a chiral carboxylic acid to carry out an acid–base reaction at the free amino group. Using a racemic mixture of alanine enantiomers and (R)-mandelic acid as resolving agent, write out the steps showing how a resolution process would occur.
