To (S)-6-benzoyloxy-3-oxo-5-hydroxyhexanoic acid tert-butylester (161 mg, 0.50 mmol) and RuBr2(R)-BINAP (4.4 mg, 0.0050 mmol) (BINAP was 2,2′-bisdiphenylphosphino-1,1′-binaphthyl), 2 mL of a methanol-water (10/1) solution was added to completely dissolve the (S)-6-benzoyloxy-3-oxo-5-hydroxyhexanoic acid tert-butylester and RuBr2(R)-BINAP in an argon atmosphere. Hydrogen replacement at −78° C. was performed three times. After the temperature of the resulting mixture had increased to 50° C., the mixture was allowed to react for twenty hours under a hydrogen pressure of 5.0 kg/cm2. After extraction of hydrogen, the mixture was condensed and purified by silica gel column chromatography. As a result, 144.4 mg (89%) of (3R, 5S)-6-benzoyloxy-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoic acid tert-butylester was obtained. The diastereomer ratio determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was (3R, 5S):(3S, 5S)=93.5/6.5 (Chiralcel-AD, hexane/isopropanol=95/5, 1.0 mL/min, UV=210 nm. Retention time: (3R, 5S) 28.2 min, (3S, 5S) 42.9 min).
