Claims
- 1. In a process for producing an organic compound having an alkyl or alkenyl group in the α-position of an electron attractive group, said organic compound being represented by following Formula (3) or (8): wherein Rb is a hydrogen atom or an organic group, Rc is a hydrogen atom or an organic group, Y is an electron attractive group, Rb, Rc, and Y may be combined with each other to form a ring with an adjacent carbon atom, each of Rd, Re, Rf, and Rg is independently a hydrogen atom or an organic group and Rd, Re, Rf, and Rg may be combined with each other to form a ring with one or two adjacent carbon atoms, Ri is a hydrogen atom or an organic group, Rj is a hydrogen atom or an organic group, and Ri and Rj may be combined with each other to form a ring with two adjacent carbon atoms, and Z is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, said process comprising the step of reacting a compound containing an electron attractive group represented by following Formula (1): wherein Rb, Rc, and Y are as defined above with a compound containing an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond represented by following Formula (2) or (7): wherein Rd, Re, Rf, Rg, Ri and Rj are as defined above, wherein the improvement comprises conducting said process in the presence of oxygen and a catalytic compound of a Group 7, 8, or 9 element of the Periodic Table of Elements.
- 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (1) is selected from the group consisting of ketones, esters, nitriles, lactones, carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acid anhydrides.
- 3. The process of claim 2, wherein the compound of Formula (1) is selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, cyclooctanone, diethylketone, acetophenone, α-acetyl-y-butyrolactone, ethyl acetoacetate, dimethyl malonate, dimethyl 2-methoxymalonate, dimethyl 2-methylmalonate, malonitrile, ε-caprolactone, adipic anydride, dimethyl adipate, and adipic acid.
- 4. The process of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (2) is selected from the group consisting of alkenes and of cycloalkanes and bridged cyclic hydrocarbons each having a carbon-carbon double bond, and wherein the compound of Formula (7) is selected from the group consisting of acetylenes.
- 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the compound of Formula (2) is selected from the group consisting of 1-octene, 2-octene, and norbornene, and wherein the compound of Formula (7) is selected from the group consisting of 1-octyne and phenylacetylene.
- 6. The process of claim 1, wherein said catalytic compound of a Group 7, 8 or 9 element of the Periodic Table of Elements comprises a manganese compound used in combination with another compound selected from Group 7, 8, and 9 elements of the Periodic Table of Elements.
- 7. The process of claim 6, wherein the compound other than manganese is a cobalt compound.
- 8. The process of claim 1, wherein said oxygen is molecular oxygen diluted with an inert gas.
