PCT No. PCT/EP97/02988 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 17, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 17, 1998 PCT Filed Jun. 9, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/49665 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 31, 1997The invention concerns a new method for producing optically active 1-phenylethylamines, wherein (a) racemic 1-phenylethylamines are reacted with (S)-(-)-N-phenylcarbamate lactic acid in the presence of an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon and in the presence of a lower aliphatic alcohol, wherein the reaction components are measured so that for every mole of racemic amine, between 0.25 and 0.5 mole of (S)-(-)-N-phenylcarbamate lactic acid are present, the reaction mixture is then concentrated at a liquid-phase temperature of up to 40 DEG C., the resulting solid product is separated, treated with diluted, aqueous alkaline lye in the presence of a hydrocarbon, and the respective (R)-amine is isolated by distillation from the organic phase, and if necessary, (b) the mother liquor remaining after the separation of the solid product is reacted in the presence of a lower aliphatic alcohol with (S)-(-)-N-phenylcarbamate lactic acid, wherein the reaction components are measured so that the molar quantity of (S)-(-)-N-phenylcarbamate lactic acid is twice as great as the quantity of (R)-amine still remaining in the mother liquor, the reaction mixture is then concentrated at a liquid-phase temperature of up to 40 DEG C., the resulting solid product is separated and the (S)-amine is isolated by distillation from the mother liquor. |
