Abstract:
1. A process for producing an organic compound which is an addition or substitution reaction product of a compound (A) and a compound (B) or an oxidized product thereof, wherein said product is selected from the group consisting of (i-1) an addition reaction product or an oxidized product thereof, where an adjacent position to an oxygen atom of a compound (A1) is bonded to a carbon atom of an unsaturated bond of an unsaturated compound (B1) when an oxygen-atom-containing compound (A1) is employed as a compound (A), (i-2) a substitution reaction product or an oxidized product thereof, where an adjacent position to an oxygen atom of a compound (A1) is bonded to a methine carbon atom of a compound (B2) having a hydrocarbon group with a methine carbon atom when an oxygen-atom-containing compound (A1) is employed as a compound (A), (ii-1) an addition reaction product or an oxidized product thereof, where a bond between a carbonyl group and an atom adjacent to a carbonyl group of a compound (A2) is broken, and a group containing the a carbonyl group is bonded to the aforementioned position of a compound (B1) when a carbonyl-group-containing compound (A2) is employed as a compound (A), (ii-2) a substitution reaction product or an oxidized product thereof, where a bond between a carbonyl group and an atom adjacent to a carbonyl group of a compound (A2) is broken, and a group containing the a carbonyl group is bonded to the aforementioned position of a compound (B2) when a carbonyl-group-containing compound (A2) is employed as a compound (A), (iii-1) an addition reaction product or an oxidized product thereof, where a methine carbon atom of a compound (A3) is bonded to the aforementioned position of a compound (B1) when a compound (A3) containing a hydrocarbon group with a methine carbon atom is employed as a compound A, and (iii-2) a substitution reaction product or an oxidized product thereof, where a methine carbon atom of a compound (A3) is bonded to the aforementioned position of a compound (B2) when a compound (A3) containing a hydrocarbon group with a methine carbon atom is employed as a compound A, said process comprising the step of allowing (A) a compound capable of forming a stable radical and being selected from (A1) oxygen-atom-containing compounds each having a carbon-hydrogen bond at the adjacent position to an oxygen atom, (A2) carbonyl-group-containing compounds, and (A3) compounds each having a hydrocarbon group with a methine carbon atom to react with (B) a radical scavenging compound selected from (B1) unsaturated compounds, and (B2) compounds each having a hydrocarbon group with a methine carbon atom, in the presence of a catalytic imide compound and in the presence of molecular oxygen, by catalysis of the imide compound, wherein the imide compound is shown by the following formula (1): wherein each of R to yield a product of an addition or substitution reaction of said compound (A) and said compound (B) or an oxidized product thereof.
