OPTICALLY ACTIVE CYCLIC ALCOHOL COMPOUND AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing an optically active cyclic alcohol compound represented by the general formula [I] below, wherein a cyclic ketone compound represented by the general formula [II] below is asymmetrically reduced in the presence of (A) an optically active oxazaborolidine compound and a boron hydride compound, or alternatively in the presence of (B) an asymmetric transition metal complex obtained from a transition metal compound and an asymmetric ligand, and a hydrogen donor. Also disclosed is such an optically active cyclic alcohol compound. [I] (In the formula, the symbol is as defined below.) [II] (In the formula, R represents a hydrogen atom or a protective group of an amino group.)
