Abstract

The present invention provides a production method for purified dichloroacetic acid and an efficient production method for a nucleic acid molecule using the same. Specifically, the present invention provides a production method for purified dichloroacetic acid having a molar ratio of formaldehyde to dichloroacetic acid of 81×10⁻⁵ or less and a molar ratio of dichloroacetic anhydride to dichloroacetic acid of 20×10⁻⁵ or less, the method including: bringing dichloroacetic acid having both or one of formaldehyde content and dichloroacetic anhydride content exceeding the ratio(s), into contact with at least one compound having a boiling point lower than that of dichloroacetic acid selected from the group consisting of aliphatic alcohols, aliphatic amines, and water, and, in the coexistence of an aprotic inert solvent having a boiling point lower than that of dichloroacetic acid, distilling off a fraction containing the solvent from the resulting mixed liquid, and a production method for a nucleic acid molecule using the purified dichloroacetic acid as a deprotecting agent.
