Provided is a production process in which an optically active oxazoline is synthesized from an optically inactive compound as a starting compound with fewer production steps. In particular, provided is a process for producing an optically active compound represented by Formula (3):
(wherein R1 is an alkyl group, an alkynyl group, an alkenyl group, an aliphatic heterocyclic group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, or an aromatic heterocyclic group, and any hydrogen atom of R1 may be replaced with a substituent; R2 is a hydrogen atom or a group which is not reactive in the reaction below; and * represents a chiral center) or a salt thereof by subjecting a compound represented by Formula (1):
(wherein R1 and R2 have the same meanings as defined in Formula (3)) to a ring closure reaction in the presence of a chiral ligand having 1 or more coordination sites, a Lewis acid represented by Formula (2):
MmZn (2)
(wherein M is a metal ion, Z is a counter anion of M, and m and n are integers of 1 to 4), and a sulfonyl halide having an optionally substituted alkyl or phenyl group.
本发明提供了一种以光学不活泼化合物为起始化合物合成光学活性噁唑啉的生产工艺,其生产步骤较少。特别是提供了一种生产由式(3)表示的光学活性化合物的工艺:
(其中 R1 是烷基、炔基、烯基、脂肪杂环基、环烷基、芳基、芳烷基或芳香杂环基,R1 的任一氢原子可被取代基取代;R2 是氢原子或在下面反应中不反应的基团;* 代表手性中心)或其盐的工艺:
(其中 R1 和 R2 的含义与式 (3) 所定义的相同),在具有 1 个或多个配位位点的手性配体、式 (2) 所代表的路易斯酸存在下进行闭环反应:
MmZn (2)
(其中 M 是金属离子,Z 是 M 的反阴离子,m 和 n 是 1 至 4 的整数),以及具有任选取代的烷基或苯基的磺酰卤。
