The present invention provides a process for producing a carboxylic acid isomer B represented by the general formula (2): <CHEM> (wherein, L is a C6 to C14 aryl group which may optionally been substituted, C4 to C12 heteroaryl group which may optionally been substituted, C6 to C14 aryloxy group which may optionally been substituted or C4 to C12 heteroaryloxy group which may optionally been substituted, and M is an C1 to C3 alkyl group.), which comprises: allowing a carboxylic acid isomer A represented by the general formula (1): <CHEM> (wherein, L and M have meanings as defined above.> to contact with a microbiological material having an ability to convert the carboxylic acid isomer A(1) into the carboxylic acid isomer B(2), and the like. According to the present invention, the carboxylic acid isomer B(2) useful as an intermediate of medicines, agricultural chemicals and like can be produced efficiently. |
