Abstract: Racemic Feist's acid is treated with (R)-(+) -.alpha.-methylbenzylamine to yield (1R-trans)-3-methylene -cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, (R)-.alpha.-methylbenzyl-amine (1:1) salt. This salt can then be converted to (1R-trans)-3-methylene-1,2-cyclopropanedicarboxylic acid, dimethyl ester which is an intermediate in the preparation of the antiviral agent [1R-(1.alpha.,2.beta.,3.alpha.)]-2-amino-9-[2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclobut yl]-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one. The improved process also enables the recovery of racemic Feist's acid from the resolution.
