To an argon-purged pressure-resistant glass vessel (100 mL) equipped with a magnetic stir bar, RuCl[(R)-daipena][(R)-segphos] (2.0 mg, 1.9 μmol) and KO(t-Bu) (10.3 mg, 0.0918 mmol) were added, and the vessel was purged with argon again. To this vessel, a toluene (0.38 mL) solution containing 2-phenylquinoxaline (39.0 mg, 0.189 mmol) and being degassed by the freeze-pump-thaw technique in advance was added by pressure transfer using a cannula. An operation in which hydrogen was introduced into the pressure-resistant vessel up to 0.8 MPa and then released was repeated 10 times to completely substitute the inside with hydrogen. Then, hydrogen was introduced up to 2.0 MPa, and the vessel was stirred in a water bath at 40° C. for 16 hours. After hydrogen was released, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel thin-layer chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1 to 2:1) to obtain (R)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-phenylquinoxaline (39.3 mg, 99%). A result of an analysis was conducted by high performance liquid chromatography (column: CHIRALCEL OD-H, mobile phase: hexane:IPA=90:10, 1 mL/min) showed that the optical purity of this product was 96% ee.
