A ruthenium complex RuCl[(S,S)-Tsdpen](p-cymene) represented by a formula below and a ketone compound are placed in a polar solvent, and the resulting mixture is mixed under pressurized hydrogen to hydrogenate the ketone compound and to thereby produce an optically active alcohol:
一个由以下公式表示的
钌配合物RuCl[(S,S)-Tsdpen](p-cymene)和一个酮化合物被放置在极性溶剂中,然后在加压
氢气下混合,以加氢酮化合物并因此产生一个光学活性醇。
