A process for easily producing an optically active β-amino alcohol useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate from an inexpensive, readily available starting material is provided. A readily available α-substituted ketone is reacted with an optically active amine to yield a diastereomer mixture of an optically active α-substituted aminoketone. One of the diastereomers is isolated optionally after the diastereomers are converted to salts with an acid. The optically active α-substituted aminoketone or a salt thereof thus isolated was stereoselectively reduced to yield an optically active β-substituted amino alcohol. The optically active β-substituted amino alcohol is subjected to hydrogenolysis to produce an optically active β-amino alcohol or a salt thereof.
本发明提供了一种利用廉价易得的起始原料轻松生产具有光学活性的 β-氨基醇作为药物中间体的工艺。现成的 α 取代酮与光学活性胺反应,生成光学活性 α 取代氨基酮的非对映异构体混合物。非对映异构体中的一种非对映异构体在与酸转化成盐后被分离出来。这样分离出的具有光学活性的 α-取代氨基酮或其盐经立体选择性还原后得到具有光学活性的 β-取代氨基醇。将光学活性 β-取代氨基醇进行氢解,生成光学活性 β-氨基醇或其盐。
