CATALYTIC REDUCTION METHOD AND COUPLING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalytic reduction method and a coupling method useful for the synthesis of organic compounds and giving little load on the environment. SOLUTION: A substrate and a heterogeneous platinum-group catalyst are mixed and stirred in a hydrogen gas atmosphere free from liquid as a solvent. As an alternative, an organic boron compound, an organic halide or its equivalent, a base, and a heterogeneous platinum-group catalyst are mixed and stirred in the state of being free from a liquid as a solvent.
