Optical Resolution of N-Acetyl-DL-a-phenylglycine by a Diastereomeric Procedure

Abstract

The optical resolution of N-acetyl-DL-a-phenylglycine (Ac-DL-Phg) has been achieved with (-)-α-methylbenzylamine in ethanol. The optical purities of both Ac-D- and -L-Phg obtained from the diastereomeric salts were over 90%.
