Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING TETRAHYDROFURAN COMPOUND
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/133208
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention is a method for producing a tetrahydrofuran compound represented by general formula (2), the method comprising a reaction step for bringing a furan compound represented by general formula (1) into contact with a palladium catalyst in the presence of a hydrogen source. (In formula (1), R is a formyl group or hydroxymethyl group, R1a is a hydrogen atom, C1-5 alkyl group, formyl group, or hydroxymethyl group, R2 and R3 are each independently a hydrogen atom or C1-5 alkyl group, and R1a and R2 or R2 and R3 may bond together to form a ring.) (In formula (2), R1b is a hydrogen atom, C1-5 alkyl group or hydroxymethyl group, R2 and R3 are the same as defined above, and R1b and R2 or R2 and R3 can bond together to form a ring.)
