A process is described for dissolving enantiomers of a compound containing the structure of formula (1): wherein R or R may contain one or more asymmetric centeremes, by mixing a racemic mixture of enantiomers of a compound containing the structure of said formula; in a solvent, with a dissolving compound having a defined stereospecificity, to form a solution and said solvent being capable of being bound to at least one, but not all, of said enantiomers to form a precipitate, containing said at least one of said enantiomers in site-specific form and collecting either the precipitate and purifying it or collecting the solution containing other of said enantiomers and recrystallizing the enantiomer included in said solution. |
