METHOD AND CATALYST FOR PRODUCING CARBOXYLIC ACID ESTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a carboxylic acid ester characteristically using a catalyst containing relatively inexpensive ruthenium among metal species instead of an expensive palladium catalyst in producing a carboxylic acid ester by reacting an aldehyde with an alcohol and to obtain a catalyst for producing a carboxylic acid ester useful in the method for producing the carboxylic acid ester. SOLUTION: The carboxylic acid ester can be industrially advantageously produced in an extremely excellent economic efficiency. This inexpensive catalyst for producing the carboxylic acid ester can be provided.
