Example 4 Preparation of (R)-zopiclone N-acetyl-L-aspartate A three-neck 250 ml flask was charged with 10 g of (+-)-zopiclone (1 eq) and 4.5 g of <strong>[997-55-7]N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid</strong> (1 eq). 87 ml of a mixture of methanol/toluene (1/1) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 minutes at room temperature, then heated and maintained for 10 minutes at reflux temperature. The dispersion was slowly cooled and maintained for over 1 hour at room temperature. The solid product was isolated by filtration and washed with 10 ml of methanol and 10 ml of toluene. The product was dried under vacuum to obtain 6.7 g of (R)-zopiclone N-acetyl-L-aspartate (46%) as a white solid. Example 5Preparation of (S)-zopiclone N-acetyl-L-aspartate80 ml of methanol/toluene of mother liquors of the preparation of (R)-zopiclone N-acetyl-L-aspartate of the example 4 were distilled at atmospheric pressure and white solid crystallized from the resulting mixture. 20 ml of fresh toluene were added. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and maintained for over 30 minutes at this temperature. The product was isolated by filtration, washed twice with 10 ml of toluene and dried under vacuum to obtain 6.2 g of (S)-zopiclone N-acetyl-L-aspartate (43%) as a white solid.d.e.: 92.3% by chiral HPLC.
