PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method for obtaining an optically active aromatic compound having a cyclic structure including a nitrogen atom, in which a modified group can be removed while keeping a high yield and optical purity, with a high yield in a high enantioselective manner.SOLUTION: An aromatic compound described below is used as a substrate: in the aromatic compound, an amino group expressed by -NHR11 (where R11 is an arene sulfonyl group) is bonded to one of two carbon atoms constituting a benzene ring and adjoining to each other, and -R13-CHR15-C(=O)-Z (where R13 represents a methylene or an ethylene which may have a substituent, R15 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, or a cycloalkyl group which may have a substituent, and Z represents a heteroaryl group which may have a substituent) is bonded to the other carbon atom. The substrate is made to react in a system to which N-spiro C2 axis asymmetric quaternary ammonium iodide and an oxidizing agent are supplied so as to obtain an aromatic compound having a cyclic structure including a nitrogen atom derived from the above amino group. |
