The invention discloses a new chiral 
separation method of a 2,3-diphenylpropionic acid single 
enantiomer, i.e., a method for synthesizing the 2,3-diphenylpropionic acid single 
enantiomer by performing 
enzyme-catalyzed enantioselective 
hydrolysis on a 2,3-diphenylpropionic acid 
enantiomer. 2,3-diphenylpropionate enantiomer is hydrolyzed by utilizing 
high selectivity and high 
catalysis efficiency of 
Candida antarctica lipase A and a solubilization effect of 
cyclodextrin on a 2,3-diphenylpropionate enantiomer is utilized, so that 
hydrolysis reaction of the 2,3-diphenylpropionate enantiomer in a 
phosphate buffering solution is enhanced; the conversion rate of a substrate and the optical purity of a product are respectively up to 44.79 percent and 98.24 percent, and the 
stereoselectivity E is greater than 276. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the problems of low optical purity, low yield, environment 
pollution and the like in a general separation technique are overcome; by adopting the method, the high conversion rate and the 
high selectivity required by 
hydrolysis of the 2,3-diphenylpropionate enantiomer can be realized, so that the aims of no-
toxicity and no-harmlessness of a separation chiral compound, mild 
reaction conditions, simpleness of equipment, convenience in operation, low cost and the like are fulfilled.
