    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of R- and S-lipoic acid and R- and S-dihydrolipoic acid comprising (a) reaction of where MS is SO 2 -R' and R and R' independently of one another are C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkylalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, with sodium sulfide and sulfur in methanol. The invention especially relates to processes for preparing pure R- or S-dihydrolipoic acid, which is either used directly or processed further to give R- and S-lipoic acid. The process also serves for the production of pharmaceuticals. The present invention further relates to a solution of sodium sulfide trihydrate and sulfur in methanol, the sulfur being present in a molar excess over the sodium sulfide trihydrate, and a kit which comprises the solution according to the invention.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing R- and S-lipoic acid and R- dihydrolipoic acid comprising the following steps: (a) reaction of the compound of formula (2) with sodium sulphide and sulphur in methanol, whereby Ms represents SO2R', and R and R' independently of one another represent C1-C6 alkyl, C3-C8-cycloalkyl, C3-C8-cycloalkylalkyl, aryl or aralkyl. The invention relates in particular to methods for producing pure R- or S-dihydrolipoic acid, which is either used directly or processed further to obtain R- and S- lipoic acid. The method is also used to produce medicaments. The invention also relates to a solution of sodium sulphide-trihydrate and sulphur in methanol, whereby the sulphur is present as a molar surplus in relation to the sodium sulphide-trihydrate, and to a kit that comprises the inventive solution.
