PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for producing tetrahydropyran-4-one. SOLUTION: The process for producing tetrahydropyran-4-one, which is represented by formula (1), is characterized by reacting at least one of dihydropyran-4-one and pyran-4-one, which are represented by formula (2) with hydrogen in a mixed solvent comprising an aprotic solvent and an alcohol solvent in the presence of a metal catalyst. In the formula, the combination of a symbol which combines a solid line and dotted line indicates a single bond or double bond. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
