Alkenes can be activated by Au(III) catalysts, and the effective addition of alcohols to alkenes can be carried out under mild conditions with Au(III), provided that catalytic amounts of CuCl(2) are added, which significantly stabilize the cationic Au(III).
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an ether compound easily in a small number of steps at lower costs in high yields.
The present invention relates to a method in which the ether compound represented by the general formula (1) is produced by reacting the specific carbonyl compound specified in the general formula (2) and the specific dialkoxy compound specified in the general formula (3) with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and an acidic substance to perform hydrogenation.
