Boron hydride type compounds and their use in a method for producing optically active alpha,beta unsaturated alcohols.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing optically active alcohol derivatives, which are useful as fungicides, herbicides or plant growth regulators, represented by the formula, by carrying out the asymmetric reduction of a ketone compound represented by the formula, with a boron hydride-reducing agent modified with an optically active amino alcohol represented by the formula, and also relates to the boron hydride type compound obtained by reacting the above optically active amino alcohol with a boron hydride compound and its production method.
