We report an effective dynamic kineticresolution (DKR) system of racemic2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)alkanoic acids, which consists of a rapid racemization step via an activating substrate and an enantio-di...

Provided is a method for producing an optically active carboxylic acid ester at a high yield and with high enantioselectivity using dynamic kinetic resolution, said optically active carboxylic acid ester having an α-nitrogen substituent. This method for producing an optically active carboxylic acid ester includes a step in which racemic carboxylic acid represented by formula (a) and a specific alcohol or phenol derivative are reacted in a polar solvent having a dipole moment of at least 3.5 in the presence of an acid anhydride and an asymmetric catalyst, one enantiomer of the racemic carboxylic acid is selectively esterified, and the other enantiomer is racemized. In formula (a), Ra1 represents a nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring group bonded to an assymetric carbon via a nitrogen atom constituting a ring, and Ra2 is an organic group.
