(57) [Summary] (Modifications) [Problem] To convert optically active epoxides of cis- and trans-type simple olefins and various olefins with a high asymmetric yield using a catalytic amount, as well as pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, fragrances, cosmetics, Provided are compounds capable of producing optically active 1,2-diol, β-amino alcohol and epoxide structures for natural physiologically active compounds with high asymmetricity and chemical yield. An optically active manganese complex of the general formula I, for example II. |
