There are disclosed a process for producing the optically active cyclic amino acid ester derivative of the formula (I):

Optically active cyclic amino acid ester derivatives and processes for producing the same

The present invention provides a process for preparing optically active azetidine-2-carboxylic acids using readily available reagents of relatively low price in the industry. Thus, there is provided optically active azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, and a process for producing the same by subjecting optically active N-(alkylbenzyl)azetidine-2-carboxylic acid represented by the formula (1): ##STR1## to hydrogenolysis in the presence of a catalyst.

Process for producing optically active azetidine-2-carboxylic acid

A hindered piperidine compound represented by the formula of ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl group of which the N-position is substituted or not, a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 arylalkyl group which may contain a cyclic portion, or a C.sub.7 -C.sub.18 arylalkyl group, R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group which may contain a cyclic portion, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyloxy group which may contain a cyclic portion, or a hydroxyl group, and n is an integer of 2 to 8, effectively stabilizes organic materials having a property to deteriorate by the action of light. A method for producing the compound represented by the above formula is also disclosed.
