    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a racemic carboxylic acid useful as a raw material for manufacture an optically active substance through an optical resolution method which is performed using a small amount of a regent with a simple operation, by mixing a specific optically active carboxylic acid with a specific sulfonyl chloride or the like and heating the mixture in the presence of a base. SOLUTION: (A) An optically active carboxylic acid in which a carboxyl group is bound to an asymmetric carbon [e.g. (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid] and (B) (i) a sulfonyl chloride of the formula R1-SO2Cl (R1 is a 1-12C alkyl which is not substituted or substituted with a 1-12C alkyl or the like, or the like) (e.g. benzenesulfonyl chloride) or (ii) a carbonyl chloride of the formula R1-COCl (e.g. benzoyl chloride) are mixed with each other, and the obtained mixture is heated in the presence of (C) a base such as triethylamine preferably at 50-150 deg.C to obtain the objective compound (e.g. tetrahydrofuran-2- carboxylic acid) having a lower optical activity than the component A.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a new compound which has a high optical purity and is useful as a raw material for medicines and agrochemicals. SOLUTION: A compound of formula I [R1 is an alkyl, (substituted) phenyl or a (substituted) aralkyl; R2 is an α-amino acid residue; R3 is hydrogen, methyl or methoxy; * means to be optically active], for example, 0, 0'-di p-toluoyl-D- tartaric acid.mono-L-(1,2-dibenzyloxycarbonyl) ethylamide. The compound of formula I can be produced, for example, by reacting an optically active amino acid ester of formula III (for example, L-asparaginic acid dibenzyl ester.para- toluene sulfonic acid salt) with an optically active diacyltartaric acid anhydride of formula IV (for example, 0, 0'-di para-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid anhydride) in a solvent at 0 to 100 deg.C, more preferably at room temperature to 40 deg.C, for 0.1 to 5.0 hr, if necessary, after a neutralization reaction giving a free state.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an amino acid benzyl ester useful as a raw material for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals with a simple operation by reacting an optically active amino acid with a specific benzyl alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst and a hydrazine compound. SOLUTION: An optically active amino acid (e.g. a neutral α-amino acid such as alanine, an acidic α-amino acid such as aspartic acid, a basic α-amino acid such as lysine and a β-amino acid such as 3-aminobutyric acid) is made to react with a benzyl alcohol compound of formula I (R1 and R2 are each H, a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxyl or a halogen) (e.g. 4-methylbenzyl alcohol) in the presence of an acid catalyst (e.g. p-toluenesulfonic acid) and a hydrazine compound [preferably an aromatic hydrazine, especially hydrazine of formula II (R3 and R4 are each H, a lower alkyl, a halogen or nitro; (n) is 0-3), concretely phenylhydrazine, etc.]. The reaction is preferably carried out at 60-130 deg.C in the absence of oxygen.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To isolate carboxylic acid or its ester which is useful as an intermediate for medicines or as a starting material for liquid crystal in high purity and high yield by bringing a salt of carboxylic acid into contact with a hydrogen halide to effect salt dissolution in a substantially water-free (anhydrous) organic solvent. SOLUTION: Preferably, in an alcohol solvent or in at least one of organic solvent selected from ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons containing an alcohol, (A) a salt of carboxylic acid (a salt of tetrahydrofrancarboxylic acid or tetrahydropyranecarboxylic acid with an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth metal ion or an organic amine) is brought into contact with (B) a hydrogen halide such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hydrogen iodide to dissolve the salt to give the objective carboxylic acid or its ester. The component A is preferably brought into contact with the component B at 0 deg.C-50 deg.C. The amount of the organic solvent is preferably 0.5-20 times, more preferably 1-10 times the component A in weight.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optically active carboxylic acid by optical resolution of the diastereomer salt from the corresponding racemic carboxylic acid by use of an optical resolution agent. SOLUTION: This optically active carboxylic acid is obtained by the following processes: (A) a racemic carboxylic acid is mixed with an optical resolution agent in an organic solvent followed by separation of the corresponding optically active carboxylic acid and the diastereomer salt of the optical resolution agent in the form of crystal by solid-liquid separation; (B) the optically antipodal, carboxylic acid and the optical resolution agent left in the organic solvent mother liquor after the solid-liquid separation are brought into contact with a chlorinating agent in the coexistence of an alcohol to separate and recover the optically antipodal carboxylic ester and optical resolution agent hydrochloride crystal from the optical resolution agent hydrochloride; (C) racemization and hydrolysis process where the optically antipodal carboxylic ester left in the mother liquor is recovered as racemic carboxylic acid; (D) the optical resolution agent is recovered as isolated state from the optical resolution agent hydrochloride; and (E) both the racemic carboxylic acid and optical resolution agent recovered is recycled to the optical resolution process A.
