Answer to Problem 23.60AP
The reaction route for the synthesis of the given product is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The separation of enantiomers occurs in three steps.
In the first step, the two enantiomers, (±)-2- phenylbutanoic acid are reacted with (R)- form of 1- phenylpropane -1- amine to give the diasteromeric salts. Then the diasteromeric salts are separated by the process of fractional crystallization with the help of suitable solvent and the precipitates of isomers are obtained. At last, the precipitates get separated when treated with dilute HCl.
The separation of the two enantiomers is shown below.

The formation of the given product follows the curtius rearrangement. The reaction follows a concerted mechanism, a reaction in which the bond formation and bond dissociation occurs in a single step.
The (R)- form of 2- phenylbutanoic acid obtained by the separation method is heated with NaN3 in presence on thionyl chloride to form the isocyanate. Then the reaction of the isocynate with MeOH results in the formation of the desired product, (R)- methyl 1- phenylpropylcarbamate.
The reaction for the formation of (R)- methyl 1- phenylpropylcarbamate is shown below.
