関与物質

反応手順

A mixture of 127 mg (1.0 mmol) of ethyl 2-cyanopropanoate, 0.12 ml (1.5 mmol) of methyl vinyl ketone, and 9.4 mg (0.01 mmol) of Rh(acac)(CO)(L) obtained in Example 8 was stirred in 5 ml of toluene at 0° C. for 13 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to yield 170 mg (86%) of ethyl 5-oxo-2-cyano-2-methylhexanoate. The product was found to have an optical purity of 73% e.e. as analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography using a Chiralcel OJ column manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.
