PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for production with which a diphenylalanine compound can industrially and advantageously be obtained in good yield. SOLUTION: A diphenylmethylene halide compound represented by formula (1) is reacted with a malonic diester compound represented by formula (2) in the presence of an organic solvent selected from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone and N,N-dimethylformamide and a base selected from an alkali metal hydride and an alkali metal t-butoxide to provide a diester compound represented by formula (3). The resultant diester compound is then subjected to hydrolysis and decarboxylation to afford the diphenylalanine compound represented by formula (4). In the formulas, the symbols are each especially defined. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
