Abstract
An optically active ester of arylacetic acid of the fomula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl or phenyl or taken together to from C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkylene, or C.sub.2 C.sub.4 -C.sub.6 alkenylene, or bicyclic-ring; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or methyl; X is single bond or Ch.sub.2, C.dbd.O, N--R.sup.4, O, S, CHNHR.sup.4, CHCH.sub.3, CH--Ar, or CHOR.sup.5 (provided that when X is single bond or CH.sub.2, C.dbd.O, N--R.sup.4, O, or S, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are not simultaneouly hydrogen or methyl); R.sup.3 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, or optionally substituted aralkyl; R.sup.4 is hydrogen or amino protecting group; R.sup.5 is hydrogen or hydroxy protecting group; and Ar is optionally substituted aryl; prepared by the reaction of a 94 symmetric acid anhydride with an (R)-or (S)-arylacetic acid derivative in high optical purity; useful as a intermediate for the various optically active natural products and medicines.
