Abstract
A method of directly separating into its individual diastereomers, diastereomeric mixtures containing optically active compounds of the formulae ##STR1## which comprises first crystallizing the said mixture from an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent to recover one diastereomer, and then recrystallizing the residue from a ketone to recover the remaining diastereomer.
Claims5
A method of directly separating into its individual diastereomers, a diastereomeric mixture comprised of compounds of the formula ##STR7## wherein X is methyl and Y is phenyl;
- which comprises subjecting said diastereomeric mixture to crystallization employing a aromatic hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene and xylene as crystallization solvent to obtain one diastereomer from said diastereomeric mixture and then subjecting the remainder of said diastereomeric mixture to crystallization with an acetone crystallization solvent to obtain the remaining diastereomer from said diastereomeric mixture.
