Five racemic amines was obtained in 55%~85% yield from appropriate ketones and ammonium formate by the Leuckart reaction. Enantiomers of both 4 phenyl 2 butylamine and 1 phenyl 2 methyl propylamine were resolved in good yields with (+) tartaric acid as resolving agent
in methanol or a mixed solvent of methanol/ethyl acetate.
