A new and convenient method for the preparation of pure enantiomers of α-amino acids is described.Industrial papain, catalyzes the synthesis of L-Z-amino acid ethyl esters in ethanolic medium, with good yields.These esters are obtained from DL-Z-amino acids with 100percent optical purity.Unreactive D-Z-amino acids are readily isolated from reaction medium.Physical constants of natural and xenobiotic L-Z-amino acid esters and D-Z-amino acids are described.
