To the resulting solution, 54.0 g of N-bromosuccinimide and 1.0 ml of benzoyl peroxide were added, and the solution was refluxed for 2 hours. After the reaction solution was left to have cooled, insolubles were separated by filtration and the filtrate was successively washed with an aqueous 10% sodium thiosulfate solution, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and a saturated brine. From the filtrate thus washed, the carbon tetrachloride was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was recrystallized from hexane to obtain 70.5 g of (2S,5S)-5-bromo-2-tert-butyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one.
