A process for preparing [(1R,2R)-4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid II, by the resolution of racemic 4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (V), said process comprising: (a) reacting 4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (V) with brucine or (1R,2S)-()-ephedrine, thus preparing the bis-brucine or bis-(1R,2S)-()-ephedrine salt of (V), and (b) precipitating selectively the bis-brucine or bis-(1R,2S)-()-ephedrine salt of (1R,2R)-4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid II, while the bis-brucine or bis-(1R,2S)-()-ephedrine salt of [(1S,2S)-4-oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid stays in solution; (c) liberating the acid II by removal of brucine or (1R,2S)-()-ephedrine from the precipitated salt obtained in step (b).

Compositions and methods related to conducting polymeric compositions that can be used in devices for storage of electrical energy are generally provided. The composition may include redox active polymers that include an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle and an electron rich aromatic compound. The electroactive polymers may be formed by polymerizing an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle-based unit with an electron rich aromatic compound in the presence of heat and an acid-based catalyst. The resulting electroactive polymers may be suitable as polymer films for use as electrodes in energy storage devices. The polymer films disposed as electrodes can improve the energy density of such devices.
