(57) [Summary] [Problem] General formula (1) (Wherein, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 are the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group or an optionally substituted alkoxy group. 6 represents a lower alkyl group) from the aryl-substituted olefin represented by the general formula (2) (Wherein, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 have the same meanings as described above). In the presence of a metal oxide catalyst obtained by reacting at least one selected from the group consisting of tungstens and molybdenum with hydrogen peroxide, a compound represented by the general formula (1): A method for producing an aralkyl ketone represented by the general formula (2), which comprises reacting an aryl-substituted olefin represented by the formula (1) with hydrogen peroxide. |
