Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely and simply obtain the subject compounds by asymmetrically hydrogenating a 2-N-acylamino-higher acylacetic acid ester compound as a raw material in the presence of a catalyst of an Ru-optically active phosphine complex and then carrying out the hydrolysis and reduction. CONSTITUTION:A 2-N-acylamino-higher acylacetic acid ester compound of formula I (R<1> is 11-21C alkyl; R<2> is alkyl, phenyl or benzyl; R<3> is H, alkyl, alkoxy, alkyl, phenyl or benzyloxy) is asymmetrically hydrogenated in the presence of a ruthenium-optically active phosphine complex catalyst to provide an optically active 2-N-acylamino-3-hydroxy higher carboxylic acid derivative of formula II. The steric configuration of the OH at the 3-position, as desired, is then inverted and the hydrolysis and reduction are carried out to afford the objective optically active dihydrosphingosines of formula III. A catalyst of formula IV [R<4>-BINAP is formula V (R<4> is H, methyl or tert-butyl); S is tertiary amine; (y) is 0 or 1; (x) is 1 or 2; (z) is 1 or 4; (p) is 0 or 1] is preferred as the catalyst.
