Abstract

A process for the full or partial resolution of a mixture of enantiomers of a genus of chiral carboxylic acids is disclosed. The process uses a pure enantiomer of 1-aminoindan-2-ol as the resolving agent and achieves separation of the diastereomeric salts by fractional crystallization followed by liberation of the chiral acid from the salt by treatment with mineral acid. Diastereomeric salts and solyates of those salts are disclosed. The production of ketoprofen, flurbiprofen and other chiral medicaments and precursors thereto is disclosed.
