               23.  A process for preparing an optically active                       
          carnitine ester represented by formula (I):                                 











          wherein R represents a lower alkyl group having two or more                 
          carbon atoms; and X represents a halogen atom,

          hydrogenating a (-trimethylammonium-3-oxabutanoic ester halide              
          repres                                                     ented
