Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the above-mentioned method (1) has the following problems: an expensive optical resolution agent is used, and the optical resolution agent is unstable. Therefore, a cumbersome purification process is required in order to avoid a decrease in optical purity during recycling. When the target product is extracted by salt dissociation treatment (Japanese: desalination treatment), dichloromethane, which has a large environmental load, is used
In addition, the method of (2) above has a problem that acetophenone is generated as a by-product as an impurity derived from the optical resolution agent (R)-phenethylamine during the process and remains in the product
In addition, the above-mentioned method (3) has the following problems: Although an expensive optical purification agent is used, the yield of the optical purification process is very low, and a percentage-level impurity is generated as a by-product. Methyl ethyl ketone used in the dissociation process to extract the target product cannot be completely removed even by distillation

Abstract

The issue of the invention is to efficiently manufacture in a high production yield optically active tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid with optical activity and high purity. The manufacturing method of the optically active tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid includes three steps: a first step of subjecting (R)- or (S)- tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid and a salt of an aromatic amine in water to salt exchange by utilization of an inorganic metal alkali, removing the aromatic amine by a hydrocarbon system solvent and / or an ester solvent to obtain a water layer containing the (R)- or (S)- tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid; a second step of adding an inorganic acid into the water layer obtained in the first step to make the pH to be acid, and extracting with tetrahydrofuran; and a third step of concentrating the extract liquid obtained in the second step and distilling.
