The chrysanthemumcarboxylic acids. IV.—optical resolution of the chrysanthemic acids

Abstract
Resolution of (±)‐trans‐chrysanthemic acid by fractional crystallization of the quinine salt yields the pure (‐)‐trans‐acid quinine salt, decomposed by hydrochloric acid to optically pure (‐)‐trans‐chrysanthemic acid. Conversion of the impure (+)‐trans‐acid into the (‐)‐α‐phenylethylamine salt and fractional crystallization yields the pure (+)‐trans‐acid (‐)‐α‐phenylethylamine salt, decomposed to optically pure (+)‐trans‐chrysanthemic acid. This completes the total synthesis of chrysanthemum‐monocarboxylic acid.Resolution of (±)‐cis‐chrysanthemic acid as the quinine salt yields the pure (+)‐cis‐acid quinine salt, decomposed to the optically pure crystalline (+)‐cis‐chrysanthemic acid. Conversion of the impure (‐)‐cis‐acid into the (+)‐α‐phenylethylamine salt and fractional crystallization yields the pure (‐)‐cis‐acid (+)‐a‐phenylethylamine salt, decomposed to the optically pure crystalline (‐)‐cis‐chrysanthemic acid.
