专利号:US-8404879-B2 优先权日:2009-07-13 标题:Ruthenium-diamine complex and methods for producing optically active compounds 发明人:TOUGE TAICHIRO; NARA HIDEKI 权利人:TOUGE TAICHIRO; NARA HIDEKI; TAKASAGO PERFUMERY CO LTD 摘要:There are provided a ruthenium-diamine complex, and methods for selectively producing an optically active alcohol and an optically active amine, which are important as precursors for the synthesis of medicinal drugs and functional materials, using the ruthenium-diamine complex as a catalyst. The invention provides a ruthenium-diamine complex prepared by introducing a trisubstituted silyl group into an aromatic compound (arene) moiety that is coordinated with a ruthenium complex having an optically active diamine as a ligand, a catalyst for asymmetric reduction formed from the ruthenium-diamine complex, and a method for producing an optically active alcohol or an optically active amine using the catalyst.
