Process for the resolution of esters of arylalkylcarboxylic acids

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the resolution of esters of arylalkylcarboxylic acids of the general formulawhich comprises reacting compounds of the general formula I with an alcohol of the general formula R6-OH in the presence of a lipase or esterase to give compounds of the general formulae Ia and IIat least one of the compounds of the formulae Ia and II being present in an enantiomeric excess and the substituents and variables in the formulae I, Ia and II are as defined in the specification.
