摘要:
A method for producing 2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3')quinuclidine, which comprises reacting 3-hydroxy-3-mercaptomethylquinuclidine or a salt thereof and a carbonyl compound in the presence of a catalyst made of at least one member selected from the group consisting of tin halides, oxyacids of phosphorus, phosphorus oxyhalides and organic sulfonic acids, to produce cis-form 2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3')quinuclidine or a salt thereof.
