<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject compound in a high yield by bringing an olefin into contact with a nitrous ester, an alcohol and water in a vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst of a platinum group metal or its compound supported on a simple substance. SOLUTION: Raw material components comprising (C) an olefin (e.g. propylene or the like), (D) a nitrous ester (e.g. methyl nitrite or the like), (E) an alcohol (e.g. ethanol or the like) and (F) are brought into contact with one another in a vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst of (A) a platinum group metal or its compound (e.g. palladium chlorine or the like) supported on (B) a carrier (silica, spinel or the like) to give the objective compound. The ratio of the germination components in the vapor phase is preferably 1-40 vol.% of the component A, 1-30 vol.% of the component B, 5-60 vol.% of the component, C and 1-30 vol.% of the component D. Preferably 10-1,000 vol. ppm of a chlorine compound (e.g. hydrogen chloride or the like) is made to exist in the raw material gas so as to maintain catalytic activity.</p> |
