Disclosed herein is a process for producing a (2S,5S)-2,5-diamino-1,6-diphenyl-3-hexanone derivative represented by the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 means a lower alkylcarbonyl group, a halogen-substituted lower alkylcarbonyl group, an arylcarbonyl group or a lower alkoxycarbonyl group, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical with or different from each other and denote individually an aryl group or an alkoxy-substituted aryl group, which comprises subjecting a (2S)-2,5-diamino-1,6-diphenyl-4-hexen-3-one derivative represented by the formula (2): ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 have the same meaning as defined above, to a hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a transition metal-containing catalyst.
本发明涉及一种制备式(1)所表示的(2S,5S)-2,5-二氨基-1,6-二苯基-3-己酮衍生物的方法:其中R1表示较低的烷基羰基基团、卤代较低的烷基羰基基团、芳基羰基基团或较低的烷氧羰基基团,而R2和R3相同或不同,分别表示芳基或烷氧基取代的芳基基团。该方法包括将式(2)所表示的(2S)-2,5-二氨基-1,6-二苯基-4-己烯-3-酮衍生物,在过渡金属催化剂的存在下进行氢化反应。其中R1、R2和R3的含义如上所定义。
