Simple recrystallization of racemic (±)-NC leads to preferential enrichment of one enantiomer in the mother liquor, which allows the efficient resolution of the two enantiomers. In the unique disordered crystal structure of the racemate, the two enantiomers form centrosymmetric dimers as the major component.
