Method for producing cyclic olefin compound
-
Paragraph 0043, (2016/10/09)
Provided is a method for producing a cyclic olefin compound that makes it possible to suppress isomerization reactions and other such secondary reactions, and to efficiently obtain a high-purity cyclic olefin compound containing few impurities easily and at a high yield. In the method for producing a cyclic olefin compound of the present invention, a cyclic olefin compound having two or more cyclohexene rings in the molecule is produced by intramolecular dehydration of an alicyclic alcohol having two or more hydroxyl-group-bonded cyclohexane rings in the molecule in the presence of a dehydration catalyst, wherein the method is characterized in that a dehydration reaction is carried out while supplying the dehydration catalyst continuously or intermittently to a mixed solution containing the alicyclic alcohol and an organic solvent under reflux of an organic solvent that is azeotropic with water and separates from water at ordinary temperatures, or, when the dehydration catalyst is configured from multiple components, while supplying at least one of these components continuously or intermittently to a mixed solution containing the alicyclic alcohol and an organic solvent.
