<p>Processes for producing a compound (1) represented by formula (1), which includes an acrylic acid derivative and is useful as an agricultural chemical or medicine. One of the processes comprises the step of formylating a compound (3) (step (1)) and the step of converting the OH of the resultant compound (2) into OR' (step (2)). The step (1) comprises reacting a formic or orthoformic ester in the presence of a Lewis acid and a base. The step (2) comprises [1] reacting the compound (2) with R' OH or with R' OH and CH(OR')3 under acidic conditions or [2] using a phase-transfer catalyst in a two-phase system and regulating the base and the concentration thereof to stereoselectively synthesize the target compound. In another process, the compound (1) is efficiently produced without isolating the compound (2). In still another process, the compound (1) is directly produced without via the compound (2).</p> |
