Abstract
A new approach has been developed for the resolution of carbonyl compounds possessing an asymmetric carbon atom by means of a bifunctional intermediate which possesses a free acid group and a group which reversibly condenses with the carbonyl compound. For this purpose, 4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-semicarbazide has been synthesized and its use assayed in a successful resolution of dl-3-methylcyclohexanone.
