摘要:
A process whereby 4-t-butylcyclohexanol with a high content of the cis-isomer, which is useful as a perfume ingredient, can be economically produced on an industrially available scale at a low cost. The process comprises hydrogenating 4-t-butylcyclohexanone by using a specific ruthenium-phosphine complex as a catalyst in the presence of a base containing an alkali metal and an alkylenediamine having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for producing a alcohol including an optically active alcohol by hydrogenating a carbonyl compound in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst, a base and a nitrogen-containing organic compound. Thus, the reaction employs an inexpensive catalyst and proceeds in high yield and high efficiency.

摘要:
trans-RuH(&eegr;1-BH4)[(S)-xylbinap][(S,S)-dpen] (0.00125 mmol), acetophenone (5.0 mmol), and 2-propanol (2.5 mL) were placed in an autoclave, and the resulting solution was repeatedly subject 5 times to a procedure of performing pressure reduction and argon introduction while stirring the solution for deaeration. A hydrogen tank was then connected to the autoclave, and after replacing the air inside an introduction tube with hydrogen, the pressure inside the autoclave was adjusted to 5 atmospheres and then hydrogen was released until the pressure dropped to 1 atmosphere. After repeating this procedure 10 times, the hydrogen pressure was adjusted to 8 atmospheres and stirring at 25° C. was performed for 12 hours. By concentrating the solution obtained by depressurization and subjecting the crude product to simple distillation, (R)-1-phenylethanol (yield: 95%) in the form of a colorless oily substance was obtained at an ee of 99%.
