METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE 3-SUBSTITUTED GLUTARIC ACID MONOAMIDE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing optically active 3-substituted glutaric acid monoamide, which comprises allowing an enzyme source having activity of asymmetrically hydrolyzing a prochiral 3-substituted glutaric acid diamide compound to act on the compound. According to the present invention, a method for producing optically active 3-substituted glutaric acid monoamide, which is a useful drug intermediate, at a high yield from an inexpensive and readily available starting material.
