There are provided an acetalsulfonate derivative useful as an intermediate for medicines and agricultural chemicals, a process for industrially producing the derivative, and a process for industrially producing a styrene oxide derivative from the acetalsulfonate derivative or from a mandelic acid derivative.
A process for producing an acetalsulfonate derivative which comprises a first step of esterifying a mandelic acid derivative to form a mandelic ester derivative, a second step of protecting the mandelic ester derivative by an acetal to form an acetal derivative, a third step of reducing the acetal derivative to form an ethanediol derivative and a fourth step of reacting the ethanediol derivative with a sulfonyl chloride derivative. A process for producing a styrene oxide derivative which comprises a deprotecting step of deacetalizing the acetalsulfonate derivative and a step of epoxidizing the sulfonate derivative obtained in the deprotecting step with the aid of a base catalyst.

Optically active 2-sulfonyloxy-1-phenylethanol derivative of formula (II) can be prepared easily and selectively by the method of the present invention using an asymmetric reduction of an α-sulfonyloxy acetophenone compound with a rhodium catalyst having petamethylcyclopentadienyl group and a hydrogen donor, and the compound of formula (II) obtained in the inventive method exhibits a higher e.e. (enantiomer excess) value than that of the products in the conventional methods.
