Reaction Steps

2-Piperidinecarboxylic acid (26 g, 0.201 mol) and (+)-tartaric acid (31.2 g, 0.208 mol) were suspended in a mixture of ethanol (400 ml) and water (25 ml). The mixture was heated to 80° C., and the solution was allowed to cool to room temperature. The precipitated solid was filtered off, washed with ethanol and dried to give 25.4 g (45%) (R)-(+)-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid (+)-tartrate. The mother liquor was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was dissolved in water (120 ml). A solution of potassium hydroxide (6.5 g, 116 mmol) in water (13 ml) was added, and the precipitated mono potassium tartrate was removed by filtration. Evaporation of the filtrate in vacuo afforded 19.5 g crude (S)-(−)-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid.
