Abstract

The invention relates to methods of resolving racemic amlodipine into enantiomerically enriched compositions by precipitation with tartaric acid in the presence of a non-aqueous solvent, such as N,N′-dimethylacetamide. The molar ratio of tartaric acid:amlodipine is preferably less than 0.25:1.0 or greater than 0.75:1.0.
