Provided is a method for manufacturing a tricyclodecane mono-methanol monocarboxylic acid derivative that can be used as a raw material for high heat-resistant alicyclic polyesters and the like. n The provided method for manufacturing a tricyclodecane mono-methanol monocarboxylic acid derivative is characterized in that a tricyclodecane mono-methanol monocarboxylic acid derivative represented by the following formula (III) is obtained by reacting the dicyclopentadiene represented by the following formula (I) with a formic acid compound in the presence of a catalytic system containing a ruthenium compound, a cobalt compound, and a halide salt, to give a tricyclodecene monocarboxylic acid derivative represented by the formula (II), and then hydroformylating the tricyclodecene monocarboxylic acid derivative.n n n n(in the formulae (II) and (III), R represents a hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a vinyl group, or a benzyl group.) |
