Reaction Steps

The racemic 4-chlorobenzhydrylamine was treated with D-tartaric acid, and then sequentially recrystallized ten times from water (as described by Clemo, et al., J. Chem. Soc., (1939), 1958-1960) to provide (S)-4-chlorobenzhydrylamine of high optical purity (ee>98%, according to chiral HPLC).
