<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a carbonyl compound from a wide range of applicable substrates by using a molecular oxygen as an oxidant while hardly causing environmental problems because the method utilizes a raw material with little waste. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing the carbonyl compound involves bringing a primary alcohol, a secondary alcohol, an aldehyde or an aromatic alkane as the substrate into contact with the oxygen in the presence of an iodine compound while irradiating them with light. The presence of triphenylphosphine, biphenyl or benzophenone as a reaction promoter is effective. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
