Carvone and tartaric acid

Hello
It’s written in my book that they use RR tartaric acid to react with the racemic mixture of carvone to give two diastereoisomers, it’s a way to split the two enantiomers of carvone, does anyone have a source for this reaction please?

And how can racemic ketones be separated into enantiomers?

sharbeldam:
Thank you chen but i was kind of looking for a different reaction, Perhaps a simpler one to separate them.

AWK, i really dont know , thought about it a lot , like i thought of many reactions that can happen between carboxylic acid of the tartaric acid and the ketone (like making a amine from the ketone and then producing amide after the reaction) but how would that help me separate them, it doesnt explain it at all, it just says they use tartaric acid to separate these two enantiomers.

Babcock_Hall:
Sharbeldam, do you want the reaction to be reversible?
