Abstract

A method for preparing (1S)-amino-(2R)-indandiol substantially free of its stereoisomers is presented. The method comprises culturing indene with Rhodococcus sp. ATCC 55805, recovering the indandiol and subjecting the indandiol to chiral specific crystallization, treatment with strong acid and reverse ion pair extraction.
