However, as a result of additional experiments conducted by the present inventors, it was found that the step of distilling the reaction crude product to obtain purified optically active 2-chloropropionate ester was difficult to obtain when the distillation time was prolonged.
It has been found that there is a drawback that the optical purity of chloropropionate ester is reduced. That is, although it is possible to complete distillation in a short time on a flask scale, on an industrial scale it is impossible to complete distillation in a time comparable to that on a flask scale, which poses a practical problem.
