Claims
- 1. A metal complex produced by a reaction of (a) an optically active binaphthol or a derivative thereof, and (b) an alkali metal aluminum hydride or an alkali metal aluminum hydride compound, wherein the optically active binaphthol derivative is an optically active compound represented by the formula: ##STR44## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4, same or different, independently, are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group, lower alkoxy group, halogen, cyano, and nitro.
- 2. The metal complex according to claim 1 wherein a ratio of equivalents of the optically active binaphthol or a derivative thereof to equivalents of the alkali metal aluminum hydride or alkali metal aluminum hydride compound is 1-4:1.
- 3. A metal complex produced by a reaction of (a) an optically active binaphthol or a derivative thereof, (b) dialkylaluminum hydride, and (c) a base containing an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, wherein the optically active binaphthol derivative is an optically active compound represented by the formula: ##STR45## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4, same or different, independently, are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group, lower alkoxy group, halogen, cyano, and nitro.
- 4. The metal complex according to claim 3 wherein a ratio of equivalents of the optically active binaphthol or a derivative thereof, the dialkylaluminum hydride, and the base containing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal is 1-4:0.5-2:1.
- 5. A solution of a metal complex of claim 1 obtained by said reaction and an organic solvent.
- 6. The solution of a metal complex of claim 5 wherein the organic solvent is an ether compound.
- 7. The solution of a metal complex of claim 6 wherein the ether compound is selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dioxane, and mixtures thereof.
- 8. A solution or a metal complex of claim 2 obtained by said reaction and an organic solvent.
- 9. The solution of a metal complex of claim 8 wherein the organic solvent is an ether compound.
- 10. The solution of a metal complex of claim 9 wherein the ether compound is selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dioxane, and mixtures thereof.
