摘要 |
The present invention provides a production method of high quality threo-1,2-epoxy-3-amino-4-phenylbutane derivatives (1) on a commercial scale in a simple, easy and efficient manner and with very high productivity,which comprises treating a threo-1-halo-2-hydroxy-3-amino-4-phenylbutane derivative (2) with a base in a polar organic solvent or a solvent composed of a polar organic solvent and water,and adding the resulting reaction mixture to water to thereby cause the resulting threo-1,2-epoxy-3-amino-4-phenylbutane derivative (1) to crystallize out.
