摘要 |
The present invention is a simple method, in which a specific amount of alkali is added to an enantiomeric mixture of an optically active organic carboxylic acid where enantiomers are present in a non-equimolar ratio, or in which the enantiomeric mixture of an optically active organic carboxylic acid is neutralized with an alkali, and then a specific amount of acid is added thereto, thereby separating an organic carboxylic acid salt in the mother liquor and a crystallized organic carboxylic acid from each other. The method makes it possible to obtain an optically active organic carboxylic acid with improved enantiomeric excess. The present invention provides a simple production method for obtaining an optically active organic carboxylic acid with improved enantiomeric excess from an enantiomeric mixture of an optically active organic carboxylic acid where enantiomers are present in a non-equimolar ratio.
