, (2008/06/13)
A process for preparing an oxyglutaric acid ester derivative of the formula: STR1 in which each of R1 and R2 is C1-5 alkoxy, C1-7 aralkyloxy, C7-9 halogenated aralkyloxy or phenyl, R4 is a hydroxyl-protecting group, and R5 is C1-10 alkyl which may have a substituent, comprises the steps of reacting a methyl phosphonate derivative or methyl phosphine oxide derivative with an oxyglutaric acid mono-ester to give a reaction product which comprises an oxyglutaric acid derivative having a phosphorus-containing group and a pentenedioic acid mono-ester (by-product), removing the pendenedioic acid mono-ester from the reaction product to isolate the oxyglutaric acid derivative, and converting the isolated oxyglutaric acid derivative into the oxyglutaric acid ester derivative. A process for obtaining an optically active oxyglutaric acid ester derivative is also disclosed.
