PURPOSE:To obtain efficiently the aimed oxygen-containing compound, by reacting CO with H2 in the presence of a ruthenium compound as a catalyst in a general-purpose inexpensive solvent using an organic halide as a reaction promoter. CONSTITUTION:An oxygene-containing compound is obtained by reacting CO with H2 in the presence of a ruthenium compound catalyst, wherein the reaction is carried out in an aprotic solvent (example; THF, DMF, Xylene) in the coexistence of an organic halide (example; methyl iodide, benzotrichloride) expressed by the formula RXn (R represents mono- - traivalent hydrocarbon; X is halogen atom; n is 1, 2 or 3) as the reaction promotor. The organic halide is added in an amount necessary to set the ratio of the total halogen atom to the total ruthenium (Ru) atom (X/Ru) present in the reaction system within 1-20 range. EFFECT:The organic halide is capable of promoting the reaction without requiring any special solvent such as phosphine oxide. |
