Abstract: A method for the removal of heavy metals from solutions of organic compounds by treatment with cysteine or with an N-acylcysteine is described. Organic compounds with a content of heavy metal, for example palladium, particularly low and suitable for the preparation of compounds with pharmacologic activity can be isolated from the resultant solutions.
