Q. The process of separation of a racemic modification into $d$ and $l$-enantiomers is called

AIPMTAIPMT 1994Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

The process of separation of a racemic mixture into $d$ - or $l$-forms (enantiomers) is called resolution. The racemic mixture of enantiomers is resolved by treating with an enantiomers of some chiral compound. The products are diastereomers which can be separated by usual methods such as recrystallisation, chromatography, etc.
