MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SECONDARY ALCOHOL OR DIKETONE COMPOUND USING KETONE COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel reduction reaction for synthesizing a secondary alcohol or a diketone with a ketone as a raw material neither using an expensive and noxious metal hydride or a metal salt nor restricted under an inactive gas atmosphere as is in the current method. SOLUTION: In this manufacturing method, a secondary alcohol or a diketone compound is synthesized by reducing a ketone compound in a solvent using as a reducing agent a 12CaO-7Al2O3electride containing not less than 1019cm-3but not more than 2.3×1021cm-3electrons in a cage.
