To provide a method for producing a carbonyl compound which does not need the addition of a hydrogen acceptor in the dehydrogenation of an alcohol by using an organic phosphine-ruthenium complex catalyst, reduces the formation of addition products and can attain the beneficial ligand cost in the dehydrogenation complex catalyst, additionally provide a method for producing a carbonyl compound, being capable of increasing the reaction rate as well as the reaction efficiency.
When the carbonyl compound is produced by dehydrogenation of the alcohol in the presence of the organic phosphine-ruthenium complex catalyst, an organic phosphine and a ruthenium compound are mixed at an atom ratio of P/Ru of 2-8, then heated and the resultant product is used as the catalyst.
