PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED ALDEHYDE COMPOUNDS

摘要

The present invention relates to processes for producing α,&bgr;-unsaturated aldehyde compounds and unsaturated alcohols with a good yield. There is provided a process for producing and α,&bgr;-unsaturated aldehyde compound including the step of subjecting a raw aldehyde compound to an intermolecular condensation reaction in the presence of an amine and a protonic acid having 4 to 20 carbon atoms or a salt thereof; and a process for producing an unsaturated alcohol including the step of subjecting the α,&bgr;-unsaturated aldehyde compound to a reduction reaction.
