12. Although these compounds have been used in the racemic form, it is well-known that β-amino acids can be obtained in the enantiomerically pure form by kinetic resolution of the corresponding phenylacetylamides by reaction with enzyme PGA, which selectively hydrolyzes amides of α- and β-amino acids of the L series.
