Abstract
Up to know, the enantiomers of component A (a chiral intermediate schematized in figure 1) have been separated by means of chiral chromatography. A less expensive method applicable to industrial production was requested. The resolution by preferential crystallization, which requires a stable conglomerate, could be one of the alternative routes. In this study, the screening of potential conglomerates was performed by using the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG). Among the 109 crystallization attempts with different counter ions and solvents, 51 crystalline salts were obtained; a single conglomerate-forming system has been detected (with sulfamic acid). Resolution by means of preferential crystallization has been achieved with this salt. This paper underlines the potential of SHG method as a pre high throughput technique for spotting chiral discrimination in the solid state.

Key words: Chiral discrimination -- Second Harmonic Generation -- stable conglomerate -- preferential crystallization

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
