Abstract
The N-acetyl-homophenylalanine ethyl ester was synthesized by a simple three-step-reaction strategy. L-(+)-homophenylalanine hydrochloride with 98% ee was obtained through a kinetic resolution process using industrial enzyme alcalase. Compared with other methods, this strategy has the advantage of economical and simple procedure giving high product optical purity.
