The present invention provides a novel chiral iridium aqua complex which has good preservation stability, can be easily produced and enables asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in a higher yield and with higher stereoselectivity.
The present invention provides a chiral iridium aqua complex represented by the formula (1A):
wherein
Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd and Re are the same or different and each is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group or a phenyl group,
R1 and R2 are the same or different and each is an aryl group optionally having substituent(s), or
R1 and R2 in combination show a C3-4 straight chain alkylene group optionally having substituent(s) to form a ring,
R3 is an alkylsulfonyl group optionally having substituent(s) or an arylsulfonyl group optionally having substituent(s),
R4 is a hydrogen atom, an alkylsulfonyl group optionally having substituent(s) or an arylsulfonyl group optionally having substituent(s),
X is a monovalent or divalent anion, and
n is 2 when X is a monovalent anion, or n is 1 when X is a divalent anion,
and a production method of an optically active hydroxy compound using the complex.
