PURPOSE:To efficiently perform the reductive alkylation.reductive amination reaction useful in the fields of foods, medicines, agrichemicals, etc., in a high yield under a highly safe condition by hydrogenating a carbonyl group-containing compound with a specific hydrogen storage alloy in the coexistence of an amino compound. CONSTITUTION:A carbonyl group-containing compound such as benzaldehyde is reduced with hydrogen in the coexistence of an amino compound such as methylamine to perform the reductive alkylation/reductive amination reaction, the hydrogen being released from a hydrogen storage alloy containing as a main phase a compound having a hexagonal CaCi5 type crystal structure containing M (rare earth element or Ca element) and Ni as essential elements. |
