A process for producing an amine which is characterized by reacting an imine with a nucleophilic compound (except a trialkylsilyl vinyl ether) in the presence of a phosphoric acid derivative represented by the formula (1):
wherein A
1
represents a spacer; X
1
and X
2
represent each independently a divalent nonmetal atom or a divalent nonmetal atomic group; and Y
1
is oxygen or sulfur. The invention provides a process by which amines (particularly optically active amines) useful as intermediates of medicines, agricultural chemicals, or the like can be produced without special post-treatment in high yield at high optical purity; and phosphoric acid derivatives (particularly optically active phosphoric acid derivatives) useful in the production of the amines.
一种生产胺的方法,其特征在于在式(1)所代表的
磷酸衍
生物存在下,将
亚胺与一种亲核化合物(三烷基
硅基
乙烯醚除外)反应:
其中A1代表一个间隔物;X1和X2分别独立表示二价非
金属原子或二价非
金属原子团;Y1为氧或
硫。该发明提供了一种方法,通过该方法,可以在高光学纯度下高产率地生产用作药品、农药等中间体的胺(特别是光学活性胺),而无需进行特殊的后处理;以及用于生产这些胺的
