Abstract
This invention provides a process for enrichment of enantiomers of .alpha.-tertiary carboxylic acid esters from mixtures of corresponding esters using a biocatalyst comprising microbial cells, or partially or highly purified enzyme preparations. The enantiomeric ester products are useful as intermediates for the preparation of pharmaceutically and agriculturally active compounds.
