Abstract

The (S,S) optical isomer of a compound having the general formula ##STR1## wherein R and R.sub.1-5 are as defined herein, is recovered essentially free of the (R,S) and (S,R) isomers, by forming a solution of the esters of the (S,S) and the (R,S) and/or (S,R) isomers of said compound, selectively precipitating an acid salt (e.g. maleate) of the (S,S) ester from the solution, and treating the precipitate to form the desired free acid.
