A process for recovering optically pure D(+)alpha-phenethylamine which comprises addition of the racemic mixture to a water/acid solution, and as a resolving agent, optically active D(-)mandelic acid. An optically pure D(+)alpha-PEA mandelate salt is formed, crystallized out of solution and washed with water. The salt is broken with sodium hydroxide, or a similar base, and the D(+)PEA liberated is extracted with toluene. The D(+) PEA recovered by vacuum distillation is recovered in high yield, shows high enantiomeric purity.
