| abstract |
The present invention provides a catalyst for use in a method for producing an aromatic compound having a high yield. A palladium complex represented by the formula (D) or the formula (D'): (wherein X represents a chlorine atom or the like, A represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and B represents a carbon number of 4 to 20). An alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms; R 4 and R 5 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and R 6 , R 7 and R 8 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and carbon. An aryl group having 6 to 20 or a heteroaryl group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, etc.) (wherein X, A, B and R4 to R8 have the same meanings as defined above). |
