루이 파스퇴르는 2개의 광학 이성질체를 분리시켰다.Pasteur announced his intention to resolve racemic acid in:
 Pasteur, Louis (1848) "Sur les relations qui peuvent exister entre la forme cristalline, la composition chimique et le sens de la polarisation rotatoire" (On the relations that can exist between crystalline form, chemical composition, and the sense of rotary polarization), Annales de Chimie et de Physique, 3rd series, 24 (3) : 442–459. [프랑스어]
Pasteur presents his resolution of racemic acid into separate optical isomers in:
 Pasteur, Louis (1850) "Recherches sur les propriétés spécifiques des deux acides qui composent l'acide racémique" (Investigations into the specific properties of the two acids that compose racemic acid), Annales de Chimie et de Physique, 3rd series, 28 (3) : 56–99. See also Plate II. (See also the report of the commission that was appointed to verify Pasteur's findings, pp. 99–117.) [in French]
