The object of this research is to further investigate the possiblitiy of resolving racemic bases on an optically active cation exchange resin. Any success in this direction would help to explain the reason for Bunnett and Mark's failure, since the general assumption that selective adsorption of one enantimorph of a racemic compound on an active exchanger should occur has been verified by Grubhofer and Schleith. The work can be conveniently divided into two sections. a) The preparation of optically active cation exchange resins and, b) the use of these as resolving agents. P. 8
