A process for the preparation of (+) (2S, 3S)-3-(2-aminophenylthio)-2-hydroxy-3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-propionic acid which comprises treating the (.+-.) compound of (2RS, 3RS) 3-(2-aminophenylthio)-2-hydroxy-3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-propionic acid (formula (II)) with the (+) compound of the 2-methylbenzylamine (formula (III)) and an alkali in the presence of a polar solvent, the amount of the compound of the formula (III) and the alkali being in half equivalent amount of compound of the formula (II) employed, separating the precipitate (+) amine salt form of (2-aminophenylthio)-2-hydroxy-3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-propionic acid from the 1(-) salt form remaining in solution, by known methods treating the (+) amine salt from with an organic solvent and then decomposing the (+) amine salt form to produce (+)(2s, 3s)-3-(2-aminophenylthio)-2-hydroxy-3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-propionic acid.

Method for producing (+)

This invention relates to a process for the preparation of highly active and selective ammoxidation catalyst of formula (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7, TiO.sub.2 or (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, which process comprises refluxing a vanadium source in the presence of alcohols; adding a source of phosphorous to form vanadyl pyrophosphate hydrate (VO).sub.2 H.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.9 or (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7.2H.sub.2 O; Physical mixing of (VO).sub.2 H.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.9 with oxides selected from titania or alumina, and heating the resultant mixture in the presence of air at a temperature in the range of 300-600.degree. C. for a period in the range of 1 to 10 hours; and the use of said ammoxidation catalyst in the preparation of heteroaromatic nitrites.
