To manufacture an organic compound in a high yield by addition or substitution reaction under a mild condition even in reaction using no solvent or reaction in a non-polar solvent.
The catalyst is constituted of a cyclic imide type compound which has an N-substituted cyclic imide skeleton represented by formula (1) (wherein X is an oxygen atom or a hydroxyl group) and of which the solubility parameter due to a Fedors method is 26 [(MPa)1/2] or less. The catalyst may be constituted of a combination of the cyclic imide type compound and a metal compound. A compound (A) capable of forming radicals and a radical capturing compound (B) are reacted in the presence of this catalyst to form an addition or substitution reaction product of the compounds (A) and (B) or a derivative thereof.
