An (R)-2-amino-1-phenylethanol derivative shown by the general formula (IIa)
1
wherein R
1
and R

independently represent a halogen atom, etc., or a salt thereof, can readily be produced (1) by permitting a microorganism belonging to the genus Rhodosporidium, the genus Comamonas or the like to act on a mixture of corresponding (R)-form and (S)-form to asymmetrically utilize, or (2) by permitting a microorganism belonging to the genus Lodderomyces, the genus Pilimelia or the like to act on a corresponding aminoketone derivative to asymmetrically reduce. An (R,R)-1-phenyl-2-[(2-phenyl-1-alkylethyl)amino]ethanol derivative having a high optical purity can easily be obtained from the compound of the formula (IIa) or a salt thereof. Said derivative is useful as an intermediate for producing an anti-obesity agent and so on.
通式(IIa)所示的(R)-2-氨基-1-苯乙醇衍生物,其中R1和R5代表氢原子等;R2、R3和R4分别独立地表示卤素原子等,或其盐,可以通过(1)让属于红孢霉属、普通小杆菌属或类似菌属的微生物作用于相应(R)-型和(S)-型的混合物以不对称利用,或(2)让属于洛德罗霉属、皮利米利亚属或类似菌属的微生物作用于相应的氨基酮衍生物以不对称还原而轻松制备。可以从式(IIa)化合物或其盐中轻松获得具有高光学纯度的(R,R)-1-苯基-2-[(2-苯基-1-烷基乙基)氨基]乙醇衍生物。所述衍生物可用作生产抗肥胖剂等中间体。
