Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process for producing optically active secondary alcohols by reducing an optically inactive ketone in the presence of an optically active Group VIII metal coordination complex catalyst is disclosed. One embodiment is directed to a process for forming optically active aliphatic or aromatic secondary alcohols by reacting an optically inactive ketone with hydrogen in the presence of a Group VIII metal complex catalyst which contains the metal in combination with at least one optically active phosphine or arsine ligand.
