Abstract: Compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is lower alkyl having 1-4 carbons, lower alkenyl having 2-4 carbons or lower alkynyl having 2-4 carbons; R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each are a lower alkyl having 1-4 carbons or R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 together with the carbon to which they are attached are a 5 or 6 membered alicyclic ring; and X is chlorine, bromine or iodine;Their use as plant growth regulants and plant growth regulant compositions containing the active compounds are disclosed.

Abstract: Racemic modifications of optically active primary or tertiary amines are treated with lasalocid to form diastereomeric salts. The so-formed diastereomeric salts are separated and, subsequently, can be chemically decomposed to give the desired enantiomers of the amine. The resolving agent, lasalocid, is recovered in this process by precipitation or evaporation from organic solvents.
