The present invention provides processes for making 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-((S)-1-(isopropylsulfonyl)-3-methylbutan-2-yl)-3-methyl-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)acetic acid as well as intermediates and processes for making the intermediates. Also provided are crystalline forms of the compound and the intermediates.

A radiation-sensitive resin composition includes a polymer including a phenolic hydroxyl group, a compound represented by formula (1-1) or formula (1-2), and a compound represented by formula (2). In the formula (1-1), a sum of a, b, and c is no less than 1; at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 represents a fluorine atom or the like; and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, or the like. In the formula (1-2), in a case in which d is 1, R.sup.6 represents a fluorine atom or the like, and in a case in which d is no less than 2, at least one of the plurality of R.sup.6s represents a fluorine atom or the like; and R.sup.8 represents a single bond or a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
