<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an α-aryl alcohol by making an alkyl aryl ketone to be hydrogenated industrially advantageously. <P>SOLUTION: The environmental harmony type production method of an α-aryl alcohol comprises as follows. In a hydrogenation reaction of an alkyl aryl ketone which makes water participate in a reaction, under the presence of a catalyst which supports a palladium metal, the alkyl aryl ketone and hydrogen are made to react. In that case, as a solvent, water or water and an organic solvent are used, carbon dioxide is added to a reaction system, and thereby it is possible to raise the rate of reaction or to lower the amount of the catalyst used than conventional technique. Thus, an environmental harmony type hydrogenation method of the alkyl aryl ketone can be provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
