Question

1. Find examples of reagents used in performing chemical resolutions of acidic, basic, and neutral racemic compounds.

2. Propose methods of resolving each of the following racemic compounds:

A) CH3CH(Br)C=OOH

B) Don't know how to name, but it's a benzene ring with another ring attached to it (all single bonds) that has substituents of CH3 and NCH3 in a 1,3 meta relationship.

Please help, this stuff is so confusing. Explanations would also be greatly appreciated.
