The present invention provides a process for preparing optically active α-hydroxy acids and derivatives thereof by subjecting the alkylated 1,3-dioxolanones of formula (IV) wherein R1and R2are the same or different and are each independently H or C1-6alkyl; R5is H, C1-16alkyl, or unsubstituted or substituted phenyl; and R6is C1-8alkyl, C2-7alkenyl or unsubstituted or substituted benzyl, to either alcoholysis or hydrolysis, in which the alkylated 1,3-dioxolanones are obtained by using 10-camphorsulfonamide as a chiral auxiliary.
