A series of (±)-N-{2-[4-(2-hydroxy-3-ethoxypropoxy)phenylcarbamoyl] ethyl}-N-methylpyrrolidinium p-halobenzenesulfonates [(±)-1a-c] were found to cause an unusual symmetry-breaking enantiomeric resolution phenomenon called preferential enrichment, whereas the N-methylpiperidinium analogues (±)-N-{2-[4-(2-hydroxy-3-ethoxypropoxy)phenylcarbamoyl] ethyl}-N-methylpiperidinium p-halobenzenesulfonates [(±)-2a-c] failed to show this phenomenon. By X-ray crystallographic and ATR-FTIR spectroscopic studies, (±)-1a-c were found to undergo the desired solvent-assisted solid-to-solid polymorphic transition of the first-formed and metastable γ-form into the stable δ-form, which could induce preferential enrichment. In contrast, (±)-2a-c were subject to the undesired solvent-mediated polymorphic transition of the γ-form into the α2-form, and similarly, (±)-1d and (±)-2d bearing a p-toluenesulfonate ion also showed the undesired solvent-mediated polymorphic transition of the γ-form into the β-form; in these cases, preferential enrichment was not observed. Accordingly, the structure of the cyclic ammonium group as well as the basicity of the p-substituted benzenesulfonate ion largely affected the mode of the polymorphic transition.
