Assumptions 5 and 6 are supported by experimental data<br />

published elsewhere. 16 Briefly, this data was obtained by<br />

nan<strong>of</strong>iltering different solutions comprising different molar<br />

ratios <strong>of</strong> diacid resolving agent and racemic PEA, at concentrations<br />

below <strong>the</strong> solubility limits <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>diastereomeric</strong><br />

salts. The molecular weight cut <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> membrane employed<br />

was selected in order <strong>to</strong> permeate only <strong>the</strong> unreacted<br />

amine, whilst <strong>the</strong> resolving agent <strong>diastereomeric</strong><br />

salts were retained. The ee <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> permeated solutions<br />

was found <strong>to</strong> be near zero, which confirms Assumption 5.<br />

Moreover, analyses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> amine in <strong>the</strong> permeate showed<br />

that (i) <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>diastereomeric</strong> salts is practically<br />

irreversible, confirming Assumption 6, and (ii) at molar<br />

ratios between 0.2 and 1.0, neutral salts are <strong>for</strong>med<br />

preferentially <strong>to</strong> acidic salts, confirming <strong>the</strong> species pr<strong>of</strong>iles<br />

obtained in Figure 2a. To expand this data, a similar study<br />

was undertaken <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> PPI2 model system as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

present work and similar results were observed (Fig. 7).<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e values <strong>for</strong> <strong>diastereomeric</strong> salts <strong>for</strong>mation constants<br />

(Kd 1 ,Kd 2 ) have been selected at values high enough<br />

<strong>to</strong> simulate irreversible behaviour. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> effects<br />

<strong>of</strong> different values <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>se constants on <strong>the</strong> species pr<strong>of</strong>iles<br />

have been calculated and <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> models are<br />

shown in Figure 8. Values in <strong>the</strong> range <strong>of</strong> 10 2 –10 8 M 1<br />

were previously estimated <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> <strong>diastereomeric</strong><br />

salts <strong>for</strong>med by mono-acids resolving agents. 15<br />

Figure 8a shows that <strong>for</strong> increasing values <strong>of</strong> Kd 1 ,<br />

above 10 4 M 1 (with f = 1, that is Kd 2 10 8 M 2 ), <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

no significant effect on <strong>the</strong> calculated <strong>diastereomeric</strong> salt<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>iles. There<strong>for</strong>e fur<strong>the</strong>r increases in <strong>the</strong> values <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se<br />

constants no longer changes <strong>the</strong> final outcome <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> model<br />

results in terms <strong>of</strong> salt <strong>for</strong>mation. Figure 8b considers <strong>the</strong><br />

case when <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> acidic salt is more energetically<br />

favourable than <strong>the</strong> binding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second amine so<br />

that f < 1. Again, no significant effects are observed on<br />
