OPTICALLY ACTIVE AMINO ACID DERIVATIVE HAVING AXIAL ASYMMETRY, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUND USING THE AMINO ACID DERIVATIVE AS ASYMMETRIC CATALYST

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an advantageous method for producing an optically active compound useful as a synthetic intermediate of a medicine or the like by developing a new nonmetallic asymmetric catalyst capable of achieving high-yield and highly stereoselective asymmetric reaction.

SOLUTION: The amino acid derivative is represented by general formula (I) [wherein, R1is an aryl group which may have a substituent, a group represented by the formula: -CO2R4(wherein, R4is a hydrogen atom or the like) or the like; and R2and R3are the same or different and each a hydrogen atom or the like]. The method for producing the optically active compound uses the optically active substance as an asymmetric catalyst.
