Abstract

A process for the preparation of optically active phenylcyclohexylglycolate esters is described. The process utilizes carboxylic acid activation to couple (R)-- or (S)-cyclohexylphenylglycolic acid (CHPGA) with 4-N,N-diethylamino butynol or other propargyl alcohol derivatives. The preparation of the hydrochloride salt is also described. In addition, a resolution process employing tyrosine methyl ester enantiomers for preparing a single enantiomer of CHPGA from racemic CHPGA is disclosed.
