%0 Journal Article %T Optical Resolution of Rimantadine %J Molecules | An Open Access Journal from MDPI %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules24091828 %X This work discloses a new procedure for the resolution of commercially available racemic rimantadine hydrochloride to enantiomerically pure ( S)-rimantadine using ( R)-phenoxypropionic acid as a recyclable resolving reagent. Good chemical yields, operational ease, and low-cost structure underscore the preparative value of this method for the production of enantiomerically pure rimantadine for medicinal or synthetic studies.
