Practical resolution of (2RS, 3RS)-2-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2-nitrophenylthio)propionic acid (2) was examined by the use of several basic amino acids. L-Lysine was found to be the most effective resolving agent to obtain (+)-(2S, 3S)-2,a key intermediate for the synthesis of diltiazem (1). This new method should be applicable to the industrial production of 1 in view of the simplicity of the procedure, the ready availability of L-lysine, and the high yield of the desired isomer. The absolute stereochemistry of (+)-2 was determined to be 2S, 3S by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
