METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALICYCLIC ALCOHOL COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing the corresponding alicyclic alcohol compound in high yield by reducing an epoxy group-containing alicyclic organic compound in the presence of a catalyst with hydrogen. SOLUTION: An alumina-supported nickel catalyst comprising a nickel- containing catalyst component supported on a carrier component comprising alumina having >=10 m2/g specific surface area is used as a catalyst when the epoxy group-containing alicyclic organic compound is reduced with hydrogen to produce the alicyclic alcohol compound.
