In a 100 ml autoclave, the inside atmosphere of which had previously been replaced with argon, were placed 0.34 g (2 mmoles) of geranic acid, 20 ml of methanol, and 0.39 g (2 mmoles) of dicyclohexylmethylamine. Then, 5.6 mg (0.007 mmole) of Ru((+)-BINAP)(O2CCH3)2 prepared according to the same manner as in Referential Example 3 except using (+)-BINAP in place of (-)-BINAP was added to the mixture to perform hydrogenation for 12 hours at a hydrogen pressure of 100 kg/cm2 and at a reaction temperature of 25° C. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled off to provide 0.34 g of citronellic acid.
