Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the First Statement

The first statement is: "Chiral resolution is necessary to separate a mixture of diastereomers."

Chiral resolution is typically used to separate enantiomers, not diastereomers.
Diastereomers have different physical properties and can often be separated by conventional means such as crystallization or chromatography.

This statement is false.

Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement

The second statement is: "Chiral mixtures of products can only be synthesized from chiral starting materials."

Chiral products can be synthesized from achiral starting materials using chiral catalysts or reagents.
Therefore, it is not necessary to start with chiral materials to obtain chiral products.

This statement is false.

Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement

The third statement is: "Achiral reagents can lead to chiral products but it will be an achiral mixture."

Achiral reagents can indeed lead to chiral products, but the product will be a racemic mixture (an equal mixture of enantiomers), which is achiral overall.

This statement is true.
