The present invention relates to calcium
bis[(2S)-3-[3-[(2S)-3-(4-chloro-2-cyanophenoxy)-2-fluoropropoxy]phenyl]-2-
-isopropoxypropionate] represented by formula (I), a hydrate thereof, a
crystal of the compound of formula (I), and a crystal of the hydrate of
the compound of formula (I) which are useful as pharmaceuticals, and to
processes for producing the same, and intermediates therefore, and
processes for production thereof. [Problem]There is need for
(2S)-3-[3-[(2S)-3-(4-chloro-2-cyanophenoxy)-2-fluoropropoxy]phenyl]-2-iso-
propoxypropionic acid, in the form of a drug substance, purified so as to
minimize a residual solvent content and having a uniformized
specification and a highly favorable workability, and a process for
producing the same. [Solution]Crystalline calcium
bis[(2S)-3-[3-[(2S)-3-(4-chloro-2-cyanophenoxy)-2-fluoropropoxy]phenyl]-2-
-isopropoxypropionate], a calcium salt of
(2S)-3-[3-[(2S)-3-(4-chloro-2-cyanophenoxy)-2-fluoropropoxy]phenyl]-2-iso-
propoxypropionic acid, solves the above problem. [Selected Drawing] None
