PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide method for producing both of cyclododecanone and cyclododecanol in a one-step process and also in a high yield by bringing epoxycyclododecanes into contact with hydrogen in the presence of a platinum group catalyst. SOLUTION: This method for producing both of cyclododecanone and cyclododecanol features contacting epoxycyclododecanes with hydrogen in the presence of a platinum group catalyst where (a) a platinum group metal and (b) at least one element selected from the group consisting of group VIII, Ib, IIb, IIIb, IVb, Vb, VIb and VIIb elements and lanthanoid elements or compounds thereof as a cocatalyst are supported by a carrier. |
