METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE 2-AMINO-, 2-CHLORO-, 2-HYDROXY- OR 2-ALKOXY-1-ALCOHOLS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the production of optically active 2-amino-, 2 chloro-, 2-hydroxy- or 2-alkoxy-1-alkanoles by catalytic hydrogenation of corresponding optically active 2-amino-, - chloro-, 2-hydroxy- and 2-alkoxy carboxylic acids or the acid derivatives thereof. According to the inventive method, hydrogenation is carried out in the presence of palladium and rhenium or catalysts containing palladium and rhenium.
