Claim Text:
1. A method for producing a hydride having a carbon number of 4, comprising contacting, in liquid phase, an unsaturated compound having a total carbon number of 4 as a raw material with a solid catalyst obtained by loading a metal element belonging to Groups 9 to 11 of the long periodic table on a support, and performing hydrogenation to continuously produce a corresponding hydride having a carbon number of 4, wherein the hydrogenation is performed in the presence of a solvent comprising 1,4-butanediol having a nitrogen component concentration of 1 ppm by weight to 1 wt % in terms of nitrogen atom, wherein the 1,4-butanediol is previously contacted with an anion exchange resin to adjust the nitrogen concentration in the 1,4-butanediol to be from 1 ppm by weight to 1 wt %.
