Provided is a method of catalytic hydrogenation and reduction with which a catalytic hydrogenation and reduction reaction can be performed at a high inversion rate. A method of catalytic hydrogenation and reduction in which a reactive substrate and a hydrogen source are brought into contact in the presence of a platinum-group metal-supported catalyst to run the reactive substrate through catalytic hydrogenation and reduction, wherein: the platinum-group metal-supported catalyst comprises an ion exchanger supporting platinum-group metal ions, platinum-group metal complex ions, and/or platinum-group metal nanoparticles having an average particle size in the range of 1-100 nm; the ion exchanger is made of a continuous skeleton phase and a continuous hole phase; the thickness of the continuous skeleton is in the range of 1-100 μm; the average diameter of the continuous holes is in the range of 1-1000 μm; the total pore volume is in the range of 0.5-50 mL/g; the ion exchange capacity per unit weight in a dry state is in the range of 1-9 mg eq/g; and the ion exchanger is a non-particulate, weakly basic, organic porous ion exchanger where an ion exchange group is distributed in the ion exchanger. |
