397.7 mg (1.30 mmol) of a racemic mixture of 2-benzhydrylquinuclidin-3-one (1-2) and 1.2 mg (1.3 μmol) of (S)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-bis(diphenyl)phosphine ruthenium (II) dichloride (R,R)-hexane-2,5-diamine complex were placed in an autoclave in which the inside had been replaced with argon. After adding 6.4 ml of 2-propanol thereto and degassing, 0.13 mL (0.13 mmol) of a 2-propanol solution of potassium tert-butoxide (1.0 M) were added thereto followed by stirring for 18 hours at 20 to 25° C. at a hydrogen pressure of 1.0 MPa. After concentrating the reaction solution, analysis of the crude purification product by 1H-NMR indicated that only the syn form had been formed. The reaction solution was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1 (volume ratio)) to obtain 382 mg (1.30 mmol, yield: 96%) of (2S,3S)-2-benzhydrylquinuclidin-3-ol (3-2). The optical purity of this substance as measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (eluent: acetonitrile:0.02 M aqueous disodium hydrogen phosphate=6:4 (volume ratio), column: CHIRALCEL OD-RH, Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was 96% ee.
