There are provided a novel 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.
A novel 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.
