The present invention provides a process for producing aminosaline compounds which are useful as precursors for ligands in the transition metal complexes, said process avoiding handling of solid which is troublesome in isolation and purification and combustible upon contact with air, having smaller number of reaction steps, and giving a high yield, in industrial scale. The present invention has a great value that said process for production could be carried out at an industrially advantageous temperature of -20.degree. or higher.
