We have discovered the first case of accomplishment of an enantiomeric resolution by simple recrystallization of a series of racemic compounds [(±) forms] composed of a regular packing of (+) and (-) molecules in a crystal, although in principle this sort of enantiomeric resolution has been considered to be infeasible for more than a century since the discovery of chiral crystals by Pasteur and preferential crystallization of conglomerates by Gernetz which are a mixture of homochiral (+) and (-) crystals. We have designated this new enantiomeric resolution phenomenon as “Preferential Enrichment”. Here we report a distinct evidence that polymorphism between a racemic compound and a mixed crystal (solid solution), which consists of alternating alignment of the two homochiral dimers in a crystal, is responsible for the “Preferential Enrichment”, and we propose a mechanism of the phenomenon of the reversal of chirality in the deposited crystals, that is the essence of the “Preferential Enrichment”, on the basis of the polymorphic transformation during crystallization.
