(57) 【Abstract】 PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: A synthetic intermediate for physiologically active compounds such as pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, or a functional material such as liquid crystals, a method for producing an optically active alcohol useful as a synthetic raw material in fine chemicals, and a catalyst useful as a catalyst. Provision of novel optically active cobalt (II) complex. A method for producing an optically active alcohol, comprising a step of reacting a ketone compound with a hydride reagent in the presence of an optically active metal compound, and a novel optically active cobalt (II) complex. |
