Abstract
Abstract

We tap into an unexplored area of preferential crystallization, being the first to develop simultaneous chiral resolution of two racemic compounds by preferential cocrystallization. We highlight how the two racemic compounds
RS
‐mandelic acid (MAN) and
RS
‐etiracetam (ETI) can be combined together as enantiospecific R‐MAN⋅R‐ETI and S‐MAN⋅S‐ETI cocrystals forming a stable conglomerate system and subsequently develop a cyclic preferential crystallization allowing to simultaneous resolve
both compounds
. The developed process leads to excellent enantiopurity both for etiracetam (
ee
>98 %) and mandelic acid (
ee
≈95 %) enantiomers.
