METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SULFOLENE COMPOUND AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SULFOLANE COMPOUND

摘要

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a sulfolene compound with which the production of polymers can be suppressed. Further disclosed is a method for manufacturing a sulfolane compound with which inhibition of the activity of a hydrogenation catalyst can be suppressed, allowing a sulfolane compound to be hydrogenated smoothly. The method for manufacturing a sulfolene compound is represented by formula (2) that comprises a step wherein a conjugate diene compound represented by formula (1) and sulfur dioxide are made to react in the presence of a metallocene compound. In formula (1), R1-R6 independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group with a carbon number of 1-6. In formula (2), R1-R6 represent the same groups as R1-R6 in formula (1).
