PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF MONO-SUBSTITUTED ALKYLATED COMPOUND USING ALDIMINE OR DERIVATIVE THEREOF

Disclosed is a process for producing an asymmetric mono-substituted alkylated compound of an α-amino acid which is represented by a specific formula by using an aldimine-type Schiff base. In the process, the alkylation of an aldimine-type Schiff base in a medium in the presence of an optically active quaternary ammonium salt phase transfer catalyst and an inorganic base is started, and subsequently the reaction is quenched at any time preceding the completion of the stoichimetrical reaction, thereby yielding a mono-substituted alkylated product having a high optical purity.
