Abstract

Seed crystals of an optically active enantiomer of any one of p-hydroxyphenylglycine benzenesulfonate, p-hydroxyphenylglycine p-ethylbenzenesulfonate, p-hydroxyphenylglycine o-toluenesulfonate or p-hydroxyphenylglycine sulfosalicylate are added to a supersaturated solution of the racemic modification of the corresponding p-hydroxyphenylglycine salt. Crystallization of the optically active enantiomer results. Then, the crystals are recovered. Alternatively, crystals of the optically active enantiomer may be added to a hot solution of the racemic modification of the corresponding p-hydroxyphenylglycine salt to produce a supersaturated solution thereof. The solution is then cooled to crystallize out the optically active enantiomer. Optically active p-hydroxyphenylglycine benzenesulfonate, optically active p-hydroxyphenylglycine p-ethylbenzenesulfonate, optically active p-hydroxyphenylglycine o-toluenesulfonate or optically active p-hydroxyphenylglycine sulfosalicylate is thereby obtained.
