PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for selectively obtaining 1,2-pentane diol in a high yield from furfural, obtained by mainly using non-edible parts of biomass as raw material.SOLUTION: A method for producing 1,2-pentane diol is characterized by obtaining 1,2-pentane diol by subjecting furfural to hydrogenolysis in the presence of a catalyst, obtained by supporting zero-valent platinum on hydrotalcite, and hydrogen. The hydrogenolysis reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an alcoholic solvent and/or an ether-based solvent. |
