A method of producing an optically active cyanohydrin compound represented by formula (3) (wherein, Q1 and Q2 are as defined below, and * represents that the indicated carbon atom is the optically active center) comprising reacting an aldehyde compound represented by formula (2) (wherein, Q1 and Q2 represent each independently a hydrogen atom, optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or the like) with hydrogen cyanide in the presence of a silyl compound and an asymmetric complex which is obtained by reacting an optically active pyridine compound represented by formula (1) (wherein, R1 and R2 represent each independently a hydrogen atom, alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or the like, provided that R1 and R2 are not the same.) with an aluminum halide.
