Abstract

The invention relates to a continuous process for the preparation of enantiomerically pure biarylketocarboxylic acids, S-phenylethylamine being employed as an auxiliary base in the resolution. Biarylketocarboxylic acids, in particular substituted biaryl-4-ketocarboxylic acids, are inhibitors of enzymes of the matrix metalloproteinases class. By inhibition of the abovementioned enzymes, it is possible, for example, to control osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and metastases.
