Abstract

The present invention relates to the optical resolution of a p-hydroxyphenylglycine salt with simultaneous racemization of the undesired enantiomer thereof. The invention is carried out by preferential crystallizing out the desired enantiomer from a supersaturated solution of the racemic modification thereof in a lower aliphatic acid in the presence of an aliphatic or aromatic aldehyde.
