Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Industrial applicable field The invention relates to a method for producing a complex of a metal such as ruthenium, rhodium, iridium or nickel and the compound, and a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation or carbon-carbon bond formation using the complex. 2. Related Art Statement There has been a number of reports describing complexes of transition metal elements available for asymmetric synthesis such as asymmetric hydrogenation, asymmetric isomerization or asymmetric hydrosilylation. Particularly, a complex of a transition metal element, such as ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, palladium or the like, with an optically active tertiary phosphine compound as its ligand has excellent properties as a catalyst for asymmetric synthesis. Phosphine compounds with various chemical structures have been developed for further improving their performances as the catalysts ("Chemical Review" 32, "chemistry of organic metal complexes", page 237 to 238, edited by Japan Chemical Society, 1982) ("Asymmetric Catalysis in Organic Synthesis" Noyori Yoshiharu, A Wiley-Interscience Publication). 2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (referred to as "BINAP" below) is one of optically active phosphines having excellent properties. A complex of rhodium with "BINAP" is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open publication JP-A-55-61973 and a complex of ruthenium with "BINAP" is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open publication JP-A-61-63690. Further, a complex having 2,2'-bis[di(p-tolyl)phosphino]-1,1'-binapthyl (referred to as "p-Tol-BINAP" below) as its ligand is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open publication JP-A -60-199898 (rhodium) or -61-63690 (ruthenium). These complexes are reported to provide good results for asymmetric hydrogenation and asymmetric isomerization. Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open publication "Kokai" 255090/1991 discloses ruthenium complex of 2,2'-bis(di-3,5-dialkylphenyl)phosphino)-1,1'-binapthyl to have superior performance as a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-ketoesters. Further, palladium complexes of aminophosphine compounds have been used for asymmetric hydrosilylation. For example, a palladium complex having as its ligand an optically active aminophosphine compound with ferrocene bone structure is effective as a catalyst for asymmetric hydrosilylation of a conjugated diene compound with trichlorosilane (Tetrahedron Lett., Asymmetry, 1, 151(1990)). A palladium complex having an aminophosphine compound with N-sulfonyl group as its ligand is effective as a catalyst for hydrosilylation of styrene with chlorosilane (Chem. Lett. 999(1990)). Further, a nickel complex having as its ligand an aminophosphine compound having ferrocene bone structure is effective as a catalyst for asymmetric cross-coupling reaction of 1-phenylethylmagnesium chloride and vinyl chloride (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 180(1982)). However, the above catalysts do not necessarily have sufficient chemical selectivity, enantioselectivity and catalytic activity depending on the reaction type or the substrate, leading to the needs for improving these kinds of catalysts. Further, a phosphine compound 7 having a nitrogen atom in its molecule has been synthesized using an optically active 2-amino-2'-hydroxybinaphthyl as a starting material, according to the method described in a publication (J. Org. Chem. 63, 7738 (1998)). Moreover, an optically active 2-amino-2'-hydroxybinaphthyl has been obtained by the oxidative addition of 2-aminonaphthalene and 2-hydroxynaphthalene in the presence of sparteine or phenethylamine, or by the optical resolution of racemic mixture of 2-amino-2'-hydroxybinaphthyl. However, 2-aminonaphthalene is now difficult to obtain in the market due to its carcinogenicity and the above synthetic route using it is not desirable in the viewpoint of environmental protection. The inventive process utilizes safe 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol as the starting material for synthesizing a ligand composed of a phosphine having a nitrogen atom within its molecule, thus avoiding the above problems. Further, according to the examples in the above publication, as shown in the following scheme 1, the compound 8 is subjected to a substitution reaction of its allyl position with malonic ester in the presence of a catalyst containing palladium (so called "Tsuji reaction"). All the examples in the above publication is performed according to the above reaction scheme. Moreover, all the ligands used in the examples are selected from the following phosphine compounds 11, 12, 13 and 14, each having a dialkylamino group. The following free aminophosphine 15 is used only as a starting material and not used as a ligand throughout the examples. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide a metal complex which has a novel aminophosphine compound as its ligand and superior characteristics as a catalyst (chemical selectivity, enantioselectivity, catalytic activity) for asymmetric synthesis, especially asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation and asymmetric hydrogenation. The inventors have extensively studied many phosphine compounds to give a solution to the above problems and finally found that a complex containing a transition metal and an axially asymmetric and optically active aminophosphine compound having a nitrogen atom in its molecule, that is, 2-amino-2'-diarylphosphino-1-1'-binaphthyl (referred to as "MAP" below), is effective for asymmetric hydrogenation. The compound is an aminophosphine compound having binaphthyl group whose one naphthalene ring is connected to an amino group or a substituted amino group and the other naphthalene ring is connected to a diarylphosphino group.

The asymmetric hydrogenation of geraniol, nerol and γ-geraniol using a ruthenium complex has already been reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 109, 1596, 4129 (1987); J. Organomet. Chem. 548, 65 (1997) ; Chem. Ind. (Dekker), 68, (1996)). When geraniol, nerol and γ -geraniol are subjected to asymmetric hydrogenation using the rhutenium complex of (S)-BINAP to produce citronellol, one of the enantiomers of citronellol is obtained when geraniol is hydrogenated and the other is obtained when nerol or γ -geraniol is hydrogenated. On the contrary, the asymmetric hydrogenation of either of geraniol, nerol or γ -geraniol using the iridium complex according to the invention provides only one of the enantiomers of citronellol, as shown in the following scheme 9. Therefore, even if the starting material of the asymmetric hydrogenation is a mixture of the trans-and cis-bodies of an allyl alcohol such as geraniol and nerol, the resulting product such as citronellol is composed of only one of its enantiomers. On the contrary, the above prior art using the ruthenium complex of (S)-BINAP inevitably produces a mixture of the enantiomers, when the starting material of the asymmetric hydrogenation is a mixture of geraniol and nerol. The inventive complex containing the 2-methylsulfonylamino-2'-diarylphosphino-1,1'-binaphthyl (SUMAP) as its ligand provides a high enantioselectivity in asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation between norbornene and phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate under the pressure of hydrogen.

Alternatively, the invention relates to a metal complex represented by the following formula (3): [Mm Ln Xp Sq] Yr wherein M represents said transition metal, L represents said aminophosphine compound, S represents benzene or p-cymene and M, X, Y, m, n, p, q and r represent the followings: M represents rhodium, X represents 1,5-cyclooctadiene or norbornadiene, Y represents BF 4 , ClO 4 , PF 6 or BPh 4 (Ph being phenyl group), m, n, p and r represent 1, and q represents 0, or M represents ruthenium, X represents Cl, Br or I, Y represents Cl, Br or I, and m, n, p, q and r represent 1, or M represents ruthenium, Y represents BF 4 , ClO 4 , or PF 6 , m and n represent 1, p and q represent 0, and r represents 2, or M represents iridium, X represents 1,5-cyclooctadiene or norbomadiene, Y represents BF 4 , ClO 4 , PF 6 or BPh 4 , m, n, p and r represent 1, and q represents 0. The invention further relates to a method for producing a metal complex by reacting a salt of a metal element selected from the group consisting of rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and nickel, with a ligand consisting of an aminophosphine compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein each Ar represents an aryl group which may be substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group, with both Ar's being the same or different with each other, and wherein either: R 1 and R 2 represent hydrogen atom; a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 7 carbon atoms; or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkoxy group or a phenyl group, wherein the alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms when substituted with the lower alkoxy group is a methoxymethyl group, a methoxyethoxymethyl group, a methoxypropyl group, a methoxybutyl group, an ethoxyethoxymethyl group, a methoxypropoxymethyl group, a butoxymethyl group or methoxyethyl group, with R 1 and R 2 being the same or different with each other; or one of R 1 and R 2 is hydrogen atom and the other is -COR 3 , wherein R 3 represents a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 7 carbon atoms; a lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkoxy group or a phenyl group, wherein the lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms when substituted with the lower alkoxy group is a methoxymethyl group, a methoxyethoxymethyl group, a methoxypropyl group, a methoxybutyl group, an ethoxyethoxymethyl group, a methoxypropoxymethyl group or a butoxymethyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group; or a lower alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 7 carbon atoms, a halogen atom or a phenyl group; or, one of R 1 and R 2 is hydrogen atom and the other is -SO 2 R 4 ; wherein R 4 represents a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 7 carbon atoms; an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkoxy group or a phenyl group, wherein said lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms when substituted with said lower alkoxy group is a methoxymethyl group, a methoxyethoxymethyl group, a methoxypropyl group, a methoxybutyl group, an ethoxyethoxymethyl group, a methoxypropoxymethyl group or a butoxymethyl group; or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group; and n represents 0. The MAP may be used as a ligand of a complex of one or more transition metal(s) selected from the group consisting of Rh, Ru, Ir and Ni. Such complex of a transition metal containing SMAP as its ligand is useful as a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation. In particular, its iridium complex provides enantioselectivity, as a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of an allyl alcohol, higher than that of ruthenium complex containing BINAP or p-TolBINAP, and thus very useful in an industry. Further, the complex of 2-methylsulfonylamino-2'-diphenylphopsphino-1-1'-binaphthyl(SUMAP) provides a high enantioselectivity in asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation between norbornene and phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate. It is also possible to provide a compound with a desired absolute configuration in asymmetric sysnthesis, by using a complex of a transition metal having only one of (-)- and (+)-bodies of the inventive ligand as a catalyst for the asymmetric synthesis.
