<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for more industrially and advantageously producing a sulfone compound or a sulfoxide compound by reacting a sulfide compound with hydrogen peroxide. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing the sulfone compound or sulfoxide compound is carried out as follows. The sulfide compound is reacted with the hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a metal oxide catalyst prepared by reacting at least one kind selected from the group consisting of tungsten metal, molybdenum metal, a tungsten compound composed of tungsten and a group IIIb element, a group IVb element, a group Vb element or a group VIb element except oxygen and molybdenum, a molybdenum compound composed of the group IIIb element, the group IVb element, the group Vb element or the group VIb element except oxygen with the hydrogen peroxide. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
