<p>The present invention provides a method of producing tert-leucine, which includes reacting tert-leucine with substituted benzenesulfonic acid represented by the following formula (1) <CHEM> wherein R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or a halogen atom, except a compound wherein R1 and R2 are both hydrogen atoms, in a solvent, to give tert-leucine.substituted benzenesulfonate represented by the following formula (2) <CHEM> wherein R1 and R2 are the same substituents as above, separating the salt by crystallization and then dissociating the salt. According to the present invention, a production method of tert-leucine is provided, which includes forming a tert-leucine salt hardly soluble in a solvent and crystallization thereof to efficiently recover tert-leucine from the solvent.</p> |
