Title:
PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE 2-THIOMETHYL-3-PHENYLPROPIONIC ACID DERIVATIVE AND FOR PRODUCING INTERMEDIATE THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/060885
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A process for easily producing from an inexpensive material an optically active 2-thiomethyl-3-phenylpropionic acid derivative useful as an intermediate for medicines. An optically active 2-hydroxymethyl-3-phenylpropionic ester derivative which is relatively easily obtained by an asymmetric reduction reaction promoted by an enzyme is cyclized to an optically active β-lactone derivative. The resultant derivative is reacted with a sulfur compound. Thus, the optically active 2-thiomethyl-3-phenylpropionic acid derivative is produced in a satisfactory yield.
