Abstract
The present invention relates to process for the isolation of (-)-(S)-3-methylamino-4-methylenepyrrolidine derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or amino-protecting group, from the racemic mixture of them comprising the salt formation of the racemate with L-(+)-tartaric acid in a molar ratio of 2:1 and subsequent treatment with a base, and optionally followed by deprotection of the amino-protecting group. By this process, complicated procedure in resolutional crystallization is not necessary and (-)-(S)-3-methylamino-4-methylenepyrrolidine derivatives can be obtained as optically pure form in above 90% yield quantitatively by single procedure.
