Abstract
To separate the racemate (R,S)-cysteine, the racemate is condensed in an inert solvent with an enantiomerically enantiomeric monosaccharide of the group of aldoses having 4 to 7 carbon atoms to form the corresponding 2-substituted thiazolidin-4-carboxylic acid and the mixture of diastereomers obtained separated from each other. Subsequently, the isolated unitary diastereomers are reacted in an inert solvent with a carbonyl reagent to split the ring and the enantiomerically pure cysteine in each case is isolated as such or as the corresponding cystine.
