PRODUCTION METHOD FOR RACEMATE OF COMPOUND

A method for producing a racemate of a compound represented by Formula (1), including bringing a transition metal catalyst into contact with an optically active form of the compound represented by Formula (1) : [in Formula (1), a ring X 1 represents an aromatic ring; R 1 represents a C 1-6 alkyl group, a C 3-8 cycloalkyl group, or a C 1-6 halo-alkyl group; R 2 is a group different from R 1 and represents a C 1-6 alkyl group, a C 3-8 cycloalkyl group, or a C 1-6 halo-alkyl group, or R 2 and the ring X 1 are bonded to each other to form a ring; a hydrogen atom(s) of the ring X 1 is optionally replaced with a C 1-6 alkyl group, a C 1-6 halo-alkyl group, a cyano group, a nitro group, a C 1-6 alkoxy group, or a halogen atom; and * represents an asymmetric carbon atom].
