Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP94/03102 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 11, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 11, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 16, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/08636 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 30, 1995A process for producing optically active primary and secondary amines from the corresponding racemates is characterised in that (a) a racemic amine is enantioselectively acylated in the presence of a hydrolase with an ester whose acid component bears a fluorine, nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur atom at the proximity of the carbonyl carbon atom; (b) the mixture of optically active amine and optically active acylated amine is separated so that an enantiomer of amine is produced; (c) if desired the other enantiomer of the amine is extracted from the acylated amine by amide cleavage.
