METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALCOHOL AND CATALYST FOR DIMERIZATION REACTION OF ALCOHOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an alcohol, capable of dimerizing a substrate alcohol in a high yield and a high selectivity even by using a less amount of a base. SOLUTION: This method for producing the alcohol involves dimerizing a substrate alcohol selected from a primary alcohol and a secondary alcohol in the presence of a copper compound and 0.5 to 40 mol% NaOH based on the amount of substrate alcohol.
