The present invention relates to a process of separating chiral isomers of chroman compounds, particularly tocopherols and tocotrienols as well as the esters and intermediates thereof. It has been found that this process allows a separation of the desired isomer with a higher yield and enables the use of the non-desired isomers in a very efficient way. Said process is particularly useful when implemented in an industrial process. Furthermore, it has been found that this process allows using isomer mixtures as they result from traditional industrial synthesis.
本发明涉及一种分离手性异构体的过程,特别是对于类
胡萝卜素化合物中的
生育酚和
生育三烯酚以及它们的
酯类和中间体。已经发现,该过程允许以更高的产率分离所需的异构体,并且能够非常有效地利用非所需的异构体。该过程在工业生产中实施时特别有用。此外,已经发现,该过程允许使用异构体混合物,因为它们是传统工业合成的结果。
