An optical resolving reagent comprising at least one of compounds represented by the following formulae (1) and (2) (1) (2) (wherein R<1> to R<8> each represents hydrogen or C1-20 alkyl; R<9> represents optionally substituted C1-20 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-20 alkenyl, formyl, or acyl; and R<10> represents C1-6 alkyl; provided that the molecule represented by the formula (1) is of the cis configuration with respect to R<9> and OR<10>); and a method of optically resolving with the optical resolving reagent an alcohol having an asymmetric carbon atom in the molecule and represented by the formula (3) : (R<11>) (R<12>) (R<13>)COH (wherein R<11>, R<12>, and R<13> each represents hydrogen or optionally substituted C1-20 alkyl, provided that at least one of R<11>, R<12>, and R<13> is not hydrogen). The method of optical resolution is highly suitable for general purposes. By the method, a mixture of optical isomers of any of various alcohols can be optically resolved easily and industrially advantageously. <CHEM> |
