METHOD FOR PRODUCING alpha-HALOHYDRIN COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing anα-halohydrin compound without strictly controlling a water content in a reaction system and using hydrogen as a reducing agent. SOLUTION: Anα-haloketone compound is reduced with a primary alcohol compound or a secondary alcohol compound by using a solid oxide such as silica-alumina as a catalyst to produce anα-halohydrin compound.
