Procedure

Methyl N-[(S)-methylbenzyl]azetidine-2-carboxylate (0.27 g, the ratio: 2S isomer/2R isomer=52/48) and L-tartaric acid (0.15 g) were dissolved in methanol (6 ml) at room temperature. Then, the mixture was concentrated to give tartaric acid salt of methyl N-[(S)-methylbenzyl]azetidine-2-carboxylate, which was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of methyl tert-butyl ether (6 ml) and methanol (2 ml) to give crystals of tartaric acid salt of methyl N-[(S)-methylbenzyl]azetidine-2-(S)-carboxylate (0.12 g, colorless crystals, yield: 28%).
