OPTICALLY ACTIVE QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALT HAVING AXIAL ASYMMETRY AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALPHA-AMINO ACID AND DERIVATIVE THEREOF WITH THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a chiral phase-transfer catalyst of the following formula (I):
The compound (I) can be produced by reacting a 2,2'-dimethylene bromide-1,1'-biphenyl derivative, which can be produced through comparatively small number of steps, with an easily available secondary amine.
