METHOD FOR PRODUCING PYRROLE AND PYRIDINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for producing a pyrrole and a pyridine. SOLUTION: This method for producing the pyrrole of formula (I) by dehydrogenating a pyrrolidine of formula (II), or producing the pyridine of formula (III) by dehydrogenating a piperidine of formula (VI), in the presence of a noble metal catalyst is substantially carried out in the presence of 1-50 wt.% water based on the total of the pyrrolidine and the water or the piperidine and the water respectively.
