PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cross-coupling composed of inexpensive components which has a high catalytic efficiency, enables a target product to be obtained in a high yield and a high selectivity irrespective of reaction conditions such as a kind of a solvent, and the like. Provided is a reaction catalyst, and a method for efficiently producing an aromatic allyl derivative using the catalyst. SOLUTION: In the presence of a catalyst for a cross-coupling reaction comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel compounds, and a phosphine compound having a structure in which a tertiary carbon is directly connected to a phosphorus atom. , A cross-coupling reaction between an allyl halide and an aromatic magnesium halide and / or an aromatic lithium. |
