An optically active borane complex represented by the general formula,
wherein R1 represents an aryl group, R2 represents an alkyl group and a mark * means an asymmetric carbon, is capable of producing optically active alcohol derivatives by the reduction of prochiral ketones with the borane complex. The optically active alcohol derivative is useful for fungicides, herbicides or plant growth regulators.
