  • Patent number: 10071958
    Abstract: According to the present invention, it becomes possible to perform a process for converting into an ?-substituted cysteine represented by general formula (1) or a salt thereof at low cost and on an industrial scale by employing a process that is routed through a compound represented by general formula (3) to a compound represented by general formula (6). Particularly, by employing a process that is routed through a compound represented by general formula (7-2), it becomes possible to detach a tert-butyl protection group in a simple manner and to produce the compound represented by general formula (1) with high purity. Furthermore, by employing a process that is routed through tert-butylthiomethanol or a process that is routed through a compound represented by general formula (9), it becomes possible to produce a compound represented by general formula (2) without generating bischloromethylether that is an oncogenic substance.
