Claim:
A method for synthesizing a compound, which comprises reacting a compound represented by the general formula (2) with a compound represented by the general formula (3) or a compound represented by the general formula (4) in the presence of a synthesis reaction catalyst which contains a palladium-containing perovskite-type composite oxide represented by the general formula (1) having a specific surface area of 0.5 to 5.0 m 2 /g: A x B (l-y) Pd y O 3+σ (1) wherein A represents La; B represents Fe or FeCo; x represents an atomic ratio satisfying the following relation: 1.0≦x≦1.3; y represents an atomic ratio satisfying the following relation: 0<y≦0.5; and σrepresents an oxygen excess amount, R 1 —X (2) wherein R 1 represents an aryl group which may have a substituent, a heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, or an alkenyl group which may have a substituent; and X represents a halogen atom, a trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy group, a p-toluenesulfonyloxy group or a methanesulfonyloxy group, R 2 -M (3) wherein R 2 represents an aryl group which may have a substituent, a heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, or an alkenyl group which may have a substituent; M represents —B(ORa) 2 group or —Sn(Rb) 3 group; Ra represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group which may have a substituent; and Rb represents an alkyl group, and in stead of Ra, a ring including —OBO— may be formed through an arylene group which may have a substituent or an alkylene group which may have a substituent, both of which serve as a bond of —OBO—, and R 3 HC═CR 4 R 5 (4) wherein R 3 , R 4 and R 5 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which may have a substituent, a carboxylic acid derivative, an acid amide derivative or a cyano group.
