PURPOSE:To industrially produce an alpha,beta-unsaturated alcohol in high activity and in high selectivity by using an inexpensive metal having low toxicity. CONSTITUTION:In producing an alpha,beta-unsaturated alcohol by reacting an alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, a catalyst which comprises one or more metals selected from indium, neodymium, magnesium, barium and lanthanum and silver and has the atomic ratio of the metal except silver and silver of 1:1-1:20 is used as the catalyst. |
