摘要:
An α,β-unsaturated ketone of formula: wherein R¹ represents hydrogen or C1-5 alkyl (e.g. 2-ethylidene, 2-propylidene or 2-pentylidene cyclopentanone or 2-methylene cyclohexanone) is hydrogenated in an organic solvent at a hydrogen pressure of 10 to 150 kg/cm² at a temperature of 10 to 100°C for 10 to 150 hours with as catalyst a complex of an optically active phosphine with ruthenium; the solvent is removed and there is recovered as product the corresponding saturated ketone, of optical activity according to that of the catalyst. Suitable catalysts (see formulae (111) and (IV) contain a Ru halide complexed to the "BINAP" phosphine wherein the four phenyl groups may have para- methyl or t-butyl substituents. The ketone product is obtained in high purity and can be used for synthesis of prostaglandins or xanthine derivatives.

Disclosed is a 2-phenyl-2-(2'-piperidinylidene)acetate derivative of formula(1) suitably used for a raw material of a 2-phenyl-2-(2'-piperidinyl)acetate derivative of formula(3)and a process for manufacturing the same. Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing an optically active 2-phenyl-2-(2'-piperidinyl)acetate derivative which is a major intermediate for an antidepressant. The 2-phenyl-2-(2'-piperidinylidene)acetate derivative is manufactured by cyclizing a 7-(N-substituted amino)-3-oxo-2-heptanoate derivative of formula(2). The optically active 2-phenyl-2-(2'-piperidinyl)acetate derivative is manufactured by asymmetrically hydrogenating the 2-phenyl-2-(2'-piperidinylidene)acetate derivative in the presence of a complex of a Group VIII transition metal or an acid.

An optically active (3R,1'S)-3-[(1'-N-methylamino)ethyl]pyrrolidine is used as an intermediate for synthesis of pharmaceutical preparations such as anti-fungus agents. This product can be obtained in a new process having fewer steps, with higher purity and in higher yield, than in conventional processes. This new process comprises subjecting 3-acetyl-1-benzyl-2-pyrrolidinone to asymmetric hydrogenation by use of a complex formed from bidentate phosphine and ruthenium as a catalyst to produce (3S,1'R)-1-benzyl-3-[(1'-hydroxy)ethyl]-2-pyrrolidinone, then reducing it with a hydride to give (3R,1'R)-1-benzyl-3-[(1'-hydroxy)ethyl]pyrrolidine, mesylating or tosylating it to give (3R,1'R)-1-benzyl-3-[(1'-methanesulfonyloxy)ethyl]pyrrolidine or (3R,1'R)-1-benzyl-3-[(1'-p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]pyrrolidine, reacting it with methylamine, whereby (3R,1'S)-1-benzyl-3-[(1'-N-methylamino)ethyl]pyrrolidine (5) is obtained, and this product is subjected to de-benzylation so that (3R,1'S)-3-[(1'-N-methylamino)ethyl]pyrrolidine is produced.
