Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of (±)-Mandelic Acid-d5, Optical Resolution, and Absolute Configuration Determination

An efficient microwave-assisted synthesis of (±)-mandelic acid-d5 was developed. The racemic mixture was resolved by diastereomeric salt formation using 1-phenylethylamine enantiomers as resolving agents. At each step, the resolution process was checked by determining mandelic acid-d5 enantiomer ee...
