(S~- ~ rrlethylbenzyiamine is available from the Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, 5 Wl 53233.
Racemic 3-methylheptanoic acid is dissolved in a reaction inert solvent and an approximate molar amount of (S)- methylbenzylamine is added slowly. The choiceof solvent is not critical, but it was found that the diastereomeric salt readily precipitates from acetonitrile which is the preferred solvent. The temperature of the salt formation 10 is not critical, but rorm temperature was found to be convenient and is preferred.
The diastereomeric salt of race~,nic 3-methylheptanoic acid and (S)- -methylbenzylamine is purified by recrystallization to isolate the desired (S)- -methylbenzy.ammonium (S)-3-methylheptanoate which is generally less soluble than the other diastereomzric sa~t i.e., R-acid/S-amine. ~ ~tonitrile is the preferred solvent for 15 recrystallization. Multiple recrystallizations may be required to obtain the required optica purity and three crystallizations were found to yield a 98% optically pure product.
It was found to be convenient to dissolve the sal$ in boiling solvent and cool slowly over several hours until the product has precipitated. 3(S)-methylheptanoic acid is obtained from the salt by acidification of a solution of the salt with strong acid at room 20 temperature. The temperature, solvent and acid are not critical. Any strong mineral acid is effective; hydrochloric acid is preferred. The preferred solvent is a tv.~o phase system employing n~hexanes or ethylacetate and wate.-, but any reaction inert solvent system wou.ld be acceptable. -The fr.llowing examples are provided solely for the pwpose of~fu.ther illustration 25 and are not intended to limit the invention which is defined by the claims.

Preparation of the Diastereomeric Sa.t of 3-Methylheptanoic Acid and (S)--Methyl .
Benzylamine _ ~ - F--30 A solution of racemic 3-methylheptarloic acid (3.1 g, 21.5 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was treated with dropwise addition of (S)--methylbenzylamine (2.8 mL, 21.5 mmol).
White solid was obsen~ed to precipitate, and the resulting white suspension was stirred at room temperature for 3.5 hours. The white solid was collected by suction filtration WO 93/22269 PCI~US93~0~726 213 Ll ~ 9 3 and dried in vacuum (house vacuum, 48C) overnight. 4.65 g of the diastereomericsalt was obtained (82% yield).
Example 2 5 Recrystallization of the Diastereomeric Salt; (S)- -methylbenzylammonium 3(S)-methylheDtanoate _ _ _ A slurry of the 3-methylheptanoic acid/(S)--methylbenzylamine salt (30 9) from Example 1 in acetonitrile (300 mL) was stirred mechanically under nitrogen and heated with an oil bath until complete dissolution was observed. The solution was allowed to 10 cool slowly as white solid precipitated. The resulting suspension was stirred overnight and the white solid was collected by suction filtration. After drying in a vacuum oven, 20.77 g of salt was obtained (37% ee by rotation, [ ~ 11.27, C-5.05,CHCI3). The above procedure was repeated twice to provide 10.98 g of the salt (73% yield of ' theoretical). The optical purity was judged to be 97%ee ([1~ =-13.66, C=5.05, 15 CHCI3) by comparing the rotations of diastereomeric salts from optically pure acid prepared by the method of U.S. Serial No. 07/341,350 and the title compound.
Example 3 3(S)-Methvlheptanoic Acid 20 A. The salt from Example 2 (1.59 g, 5.99 mmol) in a mixture of ethyl acetate (20 - mL) and water-(-10 mL)-was treated with 1N HCI (10 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 1.25 hours. The aqueous layer was separated from the organic andextracted with ethyl acetate ~2QmL). The organic layer and extract were combined, I
washed with water (1 Q m'L)'and then brine. After drying over sodium sulfate, the solvent 25 was removed to provide the acid as a colorless oil in quantitative yield.
B. I The salt from Exarnple 2 (1.0 9, 3.77 mmol) in a mixture of n-hexanes (10 mL) and water (5 mL) was treated with 1 N HCI (5 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 3.5 hours. The aqueous layer (pH-1) was separated from the organic and extractedwith n-hexanes (2x20'rnL). The organic layer and extracts were combined, washed with ' 30 water (10 mL) and then brine. After drying over sodium sulfate, the solvent was removed to provide the acid as a colorless oil (0.54 9, 99.4% yield). '
