Abstract
The present invention provides a process for protecting an amino group in a compound exposed to nucleophilic reaction conditions in which the imido group used for protection is reacted with a secondary amine to form an acyl group which protects the amino group during exposure to the nucleophilic reaction conditions, after which the acylamino group may be reacted with an acid to reform the imido group so that the compound may then undergo non-nucleophilic manipulations. Also provided is a resolution method in which diasteriometric compounds having the acylamino group as described above are reacted with acid, and as these diasteriomers react at different rates to form the imido group, the reaction may be monitored so as to isolate the desired product at the appropriate point to maximize optical purity.
