Abstract

Resolution of z-dl-alanine amide has been achieved through papain-catalyzed reactions with aniline, the three anisidines, the three aminophenols and the three fluoroanilines. Most of the resultant anilides displayed better than a 95% resolution of the racemic amide. The four methyl esters of hippuric acid, z-glycine, zl-alanine and z-dl-alanine were prepared by means of a recently reported catalytic dehydrator in the presence of excess dry methanol. ...
