PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing from alcohol having at least a primary hydroxyl group and a secondary hydroxyl group a corresponding ketol compound selectively at a high yield using a heterogeneous catalyst capable of being easily separated and recovered from a reaction product and being reused.SOLUTION: In a method for producing a ketol compound, alcohol having at least a primary hydroxyl group and a secondary hydroxyl group is oxidized in the presence of a copper catalyst supported on a carrier to produce a corresponding ketol compound. Glycerol is preferable as the alcohol having at least a primary hydroxyl group and a secondary hydroxyl group, and dihydroxyacetone is preferable as the corresponding ketol compound. |
