METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALLYL COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently produce various allyl compounds by using a new catalyst system exhibiting enough high activity even on an oxygen nucleophile of which the reactivity is low, and reacting a raw material compound for the allyl compound with the oxygen nucleophile. SOLUTION: The raw material compound for the allyl compound is reacted with the oxygen nucleophile having a structure other than that of the raw material compound for the allyl compound in the presence of a catalyst containing one or more transition metal compounds and a monodentate phosphite compound, wherein the transition metal compound is formed out of a metal selected from a group comprising transition metals belonging to the 8 to 10 groups in the periodic table, and the monodentate phosphite compound has a structure expressed by general formula (1): P(OR1)(OR2)(OR3) (R1, R2and R3are each an alkyl which may be substituted, provided that one or more carbon-carbon double bonds or triple bonds may exist in carbon chains of R1, R2and R3, and further that two or more groups arbitrarily selected from R1, R2, and R3may together form one or more ring structures).
