To a cooled solution of R-(-)Praziquanamine (202 mg, 1.00 mmol; M.W. = 202.3 g/mol) in DCM (20 mL) at 0°C was added triethylamine (151 mg, 209 µL, 1.50 mmol, 1.5 eq.; M.W.=101 g/mol, density=0.726g/mL) and cyclohexanoyl chloride (162 mg, 148 µL, 1.10 mmol, 1.1 eq.; M.W.=147 g/mol, density=1.096g/mL). The solution was stirred for 18 h (over night) at room temperature.

Work-up:
- the reaction was quenched with water (10 mL) and stirred for 1 h
- seperation of the layers
- organic layer was washed with sodium carbonate solution, 0.5 M HCl solution, then with brine
- dried over MgSO4
- evaporated under reduced pressure and high vac

crude yield: 334 mg (1.07 mmol, 107%) colorless oil
[M.W.=312.4 g/mol]
- recrystallized from acetone/hexane (1:1)
Yield: 259 mg (830 µmol, 83%)

HPLC: R-(-)PZQ 99.2% -> 98.4%ee
Chiralcel OD-H, hexane/iso-propanol/Et3N = 60/40/0.1, 0.7 ml/min flow rate, RT: (R-(-)PZQ): 9.43 min, S-(+)PZQ: 11.45 min.

HPLC1: MW48-5; HPLC2: MW48-5 + 10% rac-PZQ; HPLC3: rac-PZQ

Results:
The racemic resolution of rac-PZQamine obtained a yield of 31% and an ee of 98%.
