PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject compound with high catalytic activity, conversion and selectivity, by reacting an olefin compound with hydrogen in the presence of a transition metal complex of a specific tertiary phosphine compound. SOLUTION: This compound of formula III is obtained by reacting (B) a compound of formula II [R<4> -R<6> are each H, a linear or cyclic lower alkyl (substituted with a lower alkoxy, OH, etc.), carboxyl or the like; R5 and R6 are different from each other.); A is a group of the formula, COX (X is H, OH, etc.) or the formula, NR<9> R<10> (R<9> and R<10> are each H, a lower alkyl, etc.] with (C) hydrogen in the presence of a complex of the formula (A) [MYp Z]q Xr M is a transition metal; X is an anion or a tertiary amine; Y is a linear or cyclic diene compound; Z is a compound of formula I [R<1> -R<3> are each a linear or cyclic lower alkyl, (halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy-substituted)phenyl; (n) is 0-3]; (p) is 0 or 1; (q) and (r) are each 1 or 2}. |
