PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To industrially and advantageously produce the subject compound according to a safe and economical method by reacting methyl-buten-ol with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a zeolite. SOLUTION: (A) 3-Methyl-3-buten-1-ol is reacted with (B) hydrogen peroxide which is used in a molar amount of 0.5-2 times based on 1 mol of the component A and preferably an aqueous solution at 10-60% concentration in the presence of (C) a zeolite as a catalyst in an amount of 0.01-100 wt.%, preferably 0.1-10 wt.% based on the component A under (D) an inert gas atmosphere and, as necessary, in (E) a solvent at 40-100 deg.C to produce the objective compound. The component A can be produced by a method, etc. for thermally condensing, e.g. formaldehyde with isobutene. A titanosilicate, etc. are preferably used as the component C. |
