The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in a method of reducing a carbonyl compound and a carboxylic acid derivative with a composition of a borohydride compound and an aluminum salt, and provides a method for producing an alcohol compound and the like safely and efficiently. Objective. In a method for reducing carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid derivative compounds, and the like, a reaction solvent and an extraction solvent can be made the same by using a composition containing a borohydride compound and an aluminum salt in tetrahydropyran. In addition, the reaction process can be simplified, the energy cost can be reduced, and the use of tetrahydropyran with low toxicity as a solvent increases the safety to living bodies.
