A general method was found for the resolution of the racemic 1‐phenyl‐1‐propanol ( 1 ) and 1‐phenyl‐2‐propanol ( 2 ) with various resolving agents. Monoesters of the alcohols were prepared, which were then reacted with different chiral bases. Successful optical resolutions were achieved only with the maleic acid monoesters ( 3 and 6 ). Alcohol 1 has been resolved to >99% enantiomeric excess by diastereoisomeric salt formation via its maleic acid monoester ( 3 ) using cinchonidine ( 9 ) as resolving agent. Alcohol 2 has been obtained in 98% enantiomeric excess by diastereoisomeric salt formation via its the maleic acid monoester ( 6 ) using (+)‐dehydroabietylamine ( 11 ) as resolving agent. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
