Procedure
A solution of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (4.89 g) in dichloromethane (80 ml) was added to a solution of (±)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dimethoxy-5-oxo-3-benzothiepin-2-carboxylic acid (6.0 g) and methyl (R)-(+)-lactate (4.43 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (80 ml) at 0° C., followed by the addition of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (1.3 g). This mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and at room temperature for 15 hours, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate (500 ml) and water (500 ml) were added to the residue and then the organic layer was collected. The organic layer was washed with water and dried (MgSO4), after which the solvent was distilled off; the residual solid was collected by filtration and washed with ether, followed by recrystallization twice from ethyl acetate-hexane to yield (R)-1-methoxycarbonylethyl ester of (2R)-(−)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dimethoxy-5-oxo-3-benzothiepin-2-carboxylic acid (2.2 g, 28%). Colorless needles. Melting point 161-162° C. Optical rotation [α]D (16° C.) −194.1° (c=0.50, CHCl3). A filtrate of the above-mentioned solid was concentrated and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration with ether-hexane, followed by recrystallization twice from ethyl acetate-hexane to yield (R)-1-methoxycarbonylethyl ester of (2S)-(+)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dimethoxy-5-oxo-3-benzothiepin-2-carboxylic acid (1.6 g, 20%). Colorless Plates. Melting point 121-122° C. Optical rotation [α]D (16° C.) +234.3° (c=0.50, CHCl3).
