2-Aryl-2-halomethyl-4-chloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane (A) is produced with ease without decreasing the optical purity, by reacting optically active monochlorohydrin and aryl(halomethyl)ketone as starting materials in an acid catalyst. Furthermore, optically active (2-aryl-2-halomethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl carboxylate and optically active (2-aryl-2-halomethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl sulfonate, which are useful intermediates for ketoconazole, are efficiently produced from the obtained optically active form (A). In addition, optically active trans-(2-aryl-2-halomethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl carboxylate is isomerized to a cis form thereof in the presence of an acid catalyst.
