This invention relates to a process of resolving D and L-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine. DL-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine is treated with d-3-bromo-2-oxo-10-bornanesulfonic acid to form a mixture of d-3-bromo-2-oxo-10-bornanesulfonic acid salts of D- and L-2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) glycine. This mixture is treated with a solvent selected from the group consisting of isobutyl alcohol, a mixture of a lower alkanol and chloroform, or a mixture of a lower alkanol and toluene. The precipitate containing the d-3-bromo-2-oxo-10 bornanesulfonic acid salt of L-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine is collected. The corresponding acid salt of D-2-(hydroxyphenyl) glycine is collected from the mother liquor. D- and L-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine are then recovered by conventional means.
