Tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium (II) chloride (1.9 mg, 2 μmol, 0.5 mol %) and a chiral ligand (M=Ru, R=i-Pr, Ar=C6H5—, 1.3 μmol, 0.33 mol %) were dissolved in xylene (3 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere, and then heated and stirred for 1 h at 140° C. After the mixture was cooled to room temperature, pentanophenone (0.4 mmol), xylene (2 mL) and a solution of potassium hydroxide in methanol (0.4 mL, 0.2 M) were added thereto. Thereafter, the reaction system was placed in an autoclave, and stirred for 12 h under H2 (10 atm) at 25° C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resultants were separated by column chromatography (silica gel column; eluent:ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1/8). Accordingly, pure 1-phenylpentanol was obtained and the ee value (ee=99.6%) was measured by GC analysis.
