Complete separation of the enantiomers of a tetraorganotin by chromatography on microcrystalline cellulose triacetate and fractional crystallization

Abstract

Racemic methylneophylphenyltrityltin (1) could be resolved completely by chromatography on microcrystalline cellulose triacetate coupled with fractional crystallizations. The influence of temperature on the chromatographic separation of compound (1) and of t-butylmethylphenyltrityltin (2) is described.
