PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrially useful ketone compound production process that does not require, in the Corey-Kim oxidation reaction for oxidizing alcohol to ketone, the sulfide processing after the reaction.SOLUTION: There is provided the ketone compound production process in which, in a reaction for converting an alcohol compound represented by the following formula (II) to a ketone compound represented by the following formula (III) using a sulfide compound represented by the following formula (I) under the presence of a tertiary amine and a halogenation agent, the amount of use of the sulfide compound represented by the following formula (I) with respect to the alcohol compound represented by the following formula (II) is 0.3 to 0.95 mole equivalent. [R1 is a C1 to 18 alkyl group; R2 is a C2 to 18 alkyl group or an aryl group.]. [R3 is H, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic residue; R4 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic residue; and the R3 and R4 may bond together and form a ring.].SELECTED DRAWING: None |
