Page/Page column 10, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to a process for the enantiomeric enrichment of salbutamol and salbutamol precursors and the acid-addition salts thereof: where R is hydrogen or benzyl, R' is hydrogen or benzyl and X is CH2OH or COO-C1-C4-alkyl the process comprising the crystallization of a compound of the formula I in the form of its acid-addition salt with an achiral carboxylic acid A that has at least three carbon atoms and a solubility of less than 50 g/l in water at pH 3, 20°C and 1013 mbar, from a solution containing a mixture of the enantiomers of the compound of formula I and the achiral carboxylic acid A in the presence of seed crystals of the desired enantiomer of the compound of formula I or the acid addition salt thereof, whereby the enantiomerically enriched acid-addition salt of the compound of formula I is obtained.
