Reaction Steps

To 77 g of water were added 0.5 g of the immobilized enzyme produced in Example 1 above and 65 g of ethyl N-benzylazetidine-2-carboxylate, followed by stirring at 10° C. for 10 hours. To the reaction mixture, were added 65 g of methylisobutyl ketone and 36 g of ethanol, and further stirring was conducted for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was thereafter filtrated, and the filtrate was subjected to separation. To the aqueous layer were added 65 g of methylisobutyl ketone and 6.5 g of ethanol followed by stirring for 30 minutes and the separation. This operation was repeated twice. Thus resulting aqueous layer was concentrated under a reduced pressure (10 kPa or lower) to give 60 g of crude (S)-N-benzylazetidine-2-carboxylic acid (43 weight %).
