A salt obtianed from (±)-2-(2, 3-methylenedioxyphenyl) heptanoic acid and (S) -1phenylethylamine was three times recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate-heptane (1:9). This salt was treated with hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated to give (R )-(2, 3-methylenedioxyphenyl) heptanoic acid. Yield, 39%.
