Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A process for isolating an optically active form of phenyl-glycine amide, from racemic mixtures of the enantiomers of phenyl-glycine amide, comprising providing a racemic mixture of D- and L-phenyl-glycine amide and an optically active form of 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid; treating said racemic mixture with the 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid to form the corresponding salts of said optically active 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid and said enantiomers; and separating from the mixture an optically active form of phenyl-glycine amide in the form of a salt of said 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A process for isolating an optically active form of phenyl-glycine amide, from racemic mixtures of the enantiomers of phenyl-glycine amide, comprising providing a racemic mixture of D- and L-phenyl-glycine amide and an optically active form of 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid; treating said racemic mixture with the 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid to form the corresponding salts of said optically active 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid and said enantiomers; and separating from the mixture an optically active form of phenyl-glycine amide in the form of a salt of said 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the salt formation is effected in a liquid medium which is water; a water-miscible polar organic solvent containing 1 - 4 carbon atoms; or a mixture thereof, in which the diastereoisomeric salts are soluble to a different extent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Process according to claim 2, characterized in that the liquid medium used is methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, dioxane, water, or a mixture thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
Process according to claim 2, wherein said step of treating is undertaken at a temperature ranging from 30° to 90° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that 1 mole of 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid is used per mole of DL-phenyl-glycine amide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that 0.5 mole of 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid is used per mole of DL-phenyl-glycine amide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
Process according to claim 1, wherein the enantiomer which is not separated as a salt of the optically active 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid is subsequently racemized by heating in a solvent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
Process according to claim 1, wherein 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid is in the L-form.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
9 words
D- and L-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic salts of optically active phenyl-glycine amide.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
9 words
D- and L-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic salts of optically active phenyl-glycine amide.
