Into a stainless steel autoclave equipped with a glass inner tube, Cu(NO3)(PPh3)2 (11.7 mg, 0.018 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (28.3 mg, 0.108 mmol) were introduced. The inside of the autoclave was then replaced with nitrogen. To the autoclave, an isopropyl alcohol solution of sodium hydroxide (0.03 M) (6.0 mL, 0.18 mmol), and α-methyl cinnamic aldehyde (0.50 mL, 3.6 mmol) were added, and stirring was performed at a hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa at 50° C. for 16 hours. The hydrogen was released with great care, and the conversion was analyzed by GC (>99%). The contents were concentrated, and then purified by silica gel chromatography. Thus, 453 mg of the α-methyl cinnamic alcohol was obtained (yield: 85%).
