Abstract: The present invention is to provide a process for preparing optically active tetrahydroquinoline derivatives which can be used for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases such as arteriosclerotic diseases, dyslipidemia and the like, and a process for preparing synthetic intermediates thereof. Specifically, (2R,4S)-2-ethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-ylamine or a salt thereof is prepared with fewer steps without using an optical resolution, and the optically active tetrahydroquinoline derivatives are obtained from the amine compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of the general formula (1): wherein, Y is a methylene group, and the like; A is an optionally substituted heterocyclic group, and the like; B is an optionally substituted phenyl group, and the like; R1 is an optionally substituted alkyl group, and the like; and R2 is an optionally substituted amino group, and the like; or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, which has an inhibitory activity against cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), thereby being useful for prophylaxis and/or treatment of arteriosclerotic diseases, hyperlipemia or dyslipidemia, and the like.
