METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALDEHYDE OR KETONE USING PALLADIUM-IMMOBILIZED HYDROXYAPATITE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly effective catalyst usable for oxidizing alcohols. SOLUTION: This method for producing an aldehyde or ketone is characterized by comprising oxidizing an alcohol in the presence of a palladium- immobilized hydroxyapatite obtained by immobilizing palladium on a hydroxyapatite represented by the general formula Ca10- Z(HPO4 )Z(PO4 )6- Z(OH)2- Z.nH2 O (wherein, Z is a number satisfying 0<=Z<=1; and n is 0-2.5.).
