One‐Pot Resolution of trans ‐2‐Iodo‐cyclohexanol with O , O ′‐Dibenzoyl‐(2 R ,3 R )‐tartaric Acid in Solid Phase

A one-pot, solid-state resolution of racemic-trans -2-iodo-cyclohexanol by O , O '-dibenzoyl-(2 R ,3 R )-tartaric acid was performed. By mixing the solid racemate with half an equivalent resolving agent, the (1 R ,2 R )-isomer of the alcohol remains uncomplexed and can be sublimated at lower temperature. By increasing the temperature, the complex decomposes and the (1 S ,2 S )-isomer can be gained as a second fraction of the sublimation and the resolving agent remains back.
