Abstract
Process for the production of (+) biotin. A compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is e.g., an (R)-1-phenylalkyl group, and R.sub.2 is, e.g., hydrogen. The desired diastereomer of the formula: ##STR2## is separated out. If R.sub.2 is H, a protective group is introduced by reaction with, e.g., an aliphatic acid chloride. The diastereomer is converted by reaction with a thiocarboxylic acid salt derivative into the corresponding thiolacetone, which is reacted with a Grignard reactant and subsequently water is split off. Alternatively, the corresponding thiolacetone is reacted with a compound of the formula:
