Optically active carnitine nitrile chloride is prepared by starting from racemic 3-chloro-2-oxy-propyltrimethylammonium chloride, this by racemate resolution with optically active tartaric acid in the desired optically active, di (3-chloro-2-oxy-propyltrimethylammonium) - Tartrat überfuehrt, this in tartaric acid and optically active 3-chloro-2-oxy-propyltrimethylammonium splits and the latter is reacted with inorganic cyanides. |
