OPTICALLY ACTIVE DIENE COMPOUND, TRANSITION METAL COMPLEX COMPOUND COMPRISING OPTICALLY ACTIVE DIENE COMPOUND AS LIGAND AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUND USING TRANSITION METAL COMPLEX COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an optically active compound by an asymmetric catalytic reaction using a transition metal complex compound as a catalyst having an optically active diene compound as a ligand and to obtain an optically active cyclic diene compound and a new lanthanoide compound- or actinoid compound-containing transition metal complex compound.;SOLUTION: The optically active compound is obtained by subjecting a prochiral compound to a reaction in the presence of the transition metal complex compound having the optically active diene compound as a ligand. The optically active diene compound is preferably the optically active cyclic diene compound represented by general formula (1) (the compound in the formula contains at least one asymmetric carbon; n and n' are each an integer of 1-5; R¹-R⁸ are each a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group or the like; at least one of R⁵-R⁸ is a substituent group except hydrogen), especially preferably an optically active cyclic diene compound containing a bicyclo ring structure.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
