ABSTRACT:
A process for preparing optically active 4-methyl-2-oxetanone which comprises asymmetrically hydrogenating 4-methylene-2-oxetanone in the presence of a ruthenium-optically active phosphine complex. Optically active 4-methyl-2-oxetanone can easily and economically be obtained at high optical purity.
