Abstract
Two optically active amino acid-mandelic acid complexes are obtained by reacting in a solvent under pH conditions of 1.0-4.0, an amino acid expressed by a general formula ##STR1## (in which R represents a methyl group, an ethyl group or a methylthioethyl group) and mandelic acid, one of the acids being an optically active substance and the other being a racemic modification, and optically resolving the resulting complexes into two diastereomers by using a solubility difference therebetween. The optically active complexes are each decomposed by means of an acid, a strongly acidic ion-exchange resin, or a weakly basic ion-exchange resin to obtain optically active amino acids or optically active mandelic acid.
