Apply parity to the mixed anticommutator. The transformed left-hand side isbecause . The Pauli-matrix identity represented by this product leaves the temporal matrix unchanged and reverses the three spatial matrices, so it equalsBut a parity transformation acts on momentum as and . This is exactly the parity transform ofso is consistent with the stated transformation law. The arbitrary intrinsic phase cancels.
