Abstract

The invention provides a process for the optical resolution of a racemic mixture, or an optically enriched mixture, of trans-7-(hydroxymethyl)octa-hydro-2H-pyrido-1,2a)pyrazine, a key intermediate for preparing pharmacologically active 2,7-substituted octahydro-1H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives useful in the treatment of disorders of the dopamine system. The process of the invention involves use of D-(−) or L-(+)naproxen as a resolving agent.
