<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new technology for producing a tetrahydrofuran derivative by hydrogenation of furans. <P>SOLUTION: In this method for producing a tetrahydrofuran derivative which is a hydride obtained by hydrogenating furfural or furfuryl alcohol which is a start raw material, water is used as a solvent, and a hydrogenation reaction is performed by using furfural or furfuryl alcohol, a supported palladium catalyst and hydrogen, or by adding carbon dioxide thereto, to thereby produce a tetrahydrofuran derivative which is a hydride thereof. This invention provide a new technology on production of a tetrahydrofuran derivative capable of producing an industrially important tetrahydrofuran derivative such as furfuryl alcohol or tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol efficiently by an environment-friendly process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
