Description: The present invention relates to optically active 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-5-benzyloxymethyleneoxy compounds and a process for asymmetrically introducing the trifluoromethyl group by incorporating the hydroxy group at the 2-position to the other molecules. The compounds have industrial significance in molecular designing of biologically active substances, ferroelectric liquid crystal compounds and so on. Fluorine compounds have specificity as compared with hydrocarbons. It is considered that this specificity is based on higher electronegativity of the fluorine atom than the other atoms, sterically small molecular volume next to the hydrogen, and large carbon-fluorine bond energy. Fluorine atom has the highest electronegativity among all elements (F: 4.00, O: 3.50, Cl: 3.15, N: 3.05). This means that electron density of carbons at α-position and β-position of the C-F bond is made smaller. For instance, when it has an amino group at the α-position, basicity of the amino group is made extremely small and, when it has an hydroxyl group at the β-position, the behavior of the hydroxyl group is more acidic. In some cases, the fluorine atom influences conformation of the whole molecule. Therefore, when a compound is modified with a fluorine atom, especially a trifluoromethyl group, chemical properties and reactivity of the compound per se undergo conspicuous change and in some cases, organic synthesis methods are hardly used freely. Hitherto, introduction of a fluorine atom or a fluorine-containing group into a compound has been mostly conducted by direct fluorination method by using fluorinating agents. For example, fluorination of alcohols is conducted with organic reagents such as HPDA reagent (hexafluoropropenedialkylamine adduct) and DAST reagent (dialkylaminosulfur trifluoride). Furthermore, halogen exchanging process by metal fluorides such as CsF, KF, and AgF or TBAF (tetrabutylammonium fluoride) has been well known to be used for tosylate, mesylate and halides derived from alcohols. In addition, there are fluorination by ring opening of oxirane, addition reaction of fluorine to double bonds, and fluorination of carbonyl compounds. "JP 1-135738A and JP 1-137996A teach 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy compounds and their optical isomers: wherein X¹ means - C≡C- group or -CH=CH-group and Ph means phenyl group. JP 1-135781A teaches 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy compounds and optical isomers thereof: wherein X² means group or -CH=CH- group and Ph means phenyl group. As explained above, synthesis of various optically active trifluoromethyl-containing compounds has become relatively simple, but for molecular designing of biologically active substances based on these optically active substances, asymmetric propagation to a plurality of carbon atoms in the molecule becomes necessary. In such case, asymmetric induction to carbon in the molecule of optically active compounds having a trifluoromethyl group is difficult and has limit due to specificity of fluorine atoms when modified with fluorine atoms, especially a trifluoromethyl group. The present invention provides a compound represented by the formula (I) and optical isomers thereof, and a process for preparation thereof. wherein X represents The present invention has established a process for obtaining optically-active 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-5-benzyloxymethyleneoxy-3-pentyne, wherein propargyl alcohol which is inexpensive and readily available, is used as a starting material, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-5-benzyloxymethyleneoxy-3-pentyne is once prepared, and the pentyne compound is subjected to optical resolution by use of enzyme or lipase until optically active 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-5-benzyloxymethyleneoxy-3-pentyne, optically acive 1,1,1- trifluoro-2-hydroxy-5-benzyloxymethyleneoxy-3-pentene and 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(N-phenylamino-5-benzyloxymethyleneoxypentane-2,4-diol are obtained.
