Resolution of ortho -substituted benzaldehydes

There have been several reported routes to optically active ortho-substituted tricarbonylchromium benzaldehyde complexes utilizing chemical or enzymatic resolutions.

One the most used methods involves a chromatographic separation and subsequent hydrolysis of diastereoisomeric derivatives obtained from (S)-5-(1-phenethyl)semioxamazide or from L-valinol.
