| abstract |
A process of the present invention produces an organic compound by allowing a compound containing an electron attractive group of following Formula (1): n n n wherein Y is an electron attractive group; and R b and R c are each a hydrogen atom or an organic group, where Y, R b and R c may respectively be combined with each other to form a ring with an adjacent carbon atom, to react with a compound containing an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond of following Formula (2) or n n n wherein R d , R e , R f , R g , R i and R j are each a hydrogen atom or an organic group, where R d , R e , R f and R g may respectively be combined to form a ring with one or two adjacent carbon atoms, and R i and R j may be combined to form a ring with adjacent two carbon atoms, n in the presence of oxygen and a catalytic compound of a Group 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 element of the Periodic Table of Elements to yield a compound of following Formula (3) or (8): n n n wherein Z is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group; and Y, R b , R c , R d , R e , R f , R g , R i and R j have the same meanings as defined above. This process can efficiently produce a compound having an alkyl group or alkenyl group bonded at the alpha position of an electron attractive group, or a derivative thereof, by catalytic radical addition reaction. |
