Process for preparing racemic and enantiomeric 1-(pyridyl)-2 -cyclohexylethylamine

摘要

Racemic mixtures of 1-(S,R)-(2-pyridyl)-2-cyclohexylethylamine are separated into (+)-(S)-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-cyclohexylethylamine or (-)-(R)-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-cyclohexylethylamine by admixture with (+)- or (-)-3-bromocamphor-8-sulfonic acid. 1-(S)-(2-pyridyl)-2-cyclohexylethylamine is an intermediate in the preparation of leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors.
