実験手順: Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer (1.2 mg, 2 μmol, 0.5 mol %) and a chiral ligand (M=Ru, R=t-Bu, Ar=C6H5—, 2.6 μmol, 0.65 mol %) were dissolved in i-propanol (3 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere, and then heated and stirred for 1 h at 85° C. After the mixture was cooled to room temperature, 2,4-difluoroacetophenone (0.4 mmol), i-propanol (2 mL) and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1.0 mL, 0.2 M) were added thereto. Thereafter, the reaction system was placed in an autoclave, and stirred for 24 h under H2 (20 atm) at 0° C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resultants were separated by column chromatography (silica gel column; eluent:ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1/5). Accordingly, pure 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)ethanol was obtained and the ee value (ee=93%) was measured by GC analysis. heated After the mixture was cooled to room temperature stirred for 24 h under H2 (20 atm) at 0° C The solvent was removed under reduced pressure the resultants were separated by column chromatography (silica gel column; eluent:ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1/5)
