Into a 100-mL stainless-steel autoclave was put 22.6 mmol (0.03 mmol; Cu reduced) of the chiral copper complex [CuBr((S)-SEGPHOS)]n obtained in the same manner as described in Example 1, 18.3 mg (0.03 mmol) of (S)-SEGPHOS and 28.8 mg (0.30 mmol) of NaO-t-Bu, followed by replacing with nitrogen in the autoclave, and then 2 mL of a mixed solvent of toluene and t-BuOH in a ratio of 3:1, and isophorone 1 (0.15 mL, 1 mmol) were added. The reaction was carried out with stirring under a hydrogen pressure of 5.0 MPa at 50° C. for 17 hours. The reaction mixture was analyzed by using GC. The results indicated that the products shown in the scheme A, that is, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone 2 was obtained in a yield of 18% (optical purity 93% ee), 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol 3 was obtained in a yield of 61% (dr: 93/7, optical purity of main diastereomer: 95% ee), and 3,3,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexenol 4 was obtained in a trace amount, respectively.
