Abstract
A method for producing a Guerbet alcohol, including reacting a raw material alcohol having 8 or more and 22 or less carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalyst (A) containing a first component and a second component below, having a molar ratio of the second component with respect to the first component (second component/first component) of 0.0001 or more and 0.005 or less: first component: copper, and second component: one kind selected from the group consisting of elements that are elements belonging to Groups 9 to 13 in the fourth to sixth periods of the periodic table, except copper.

A method for producing a Guerbet alcohol, comprising reacting a raw material alcohol having 8 or more and 22 or less carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalyst (A) consisting of a first component and a second component below, having a molar ratio of the second component with respect to the first component (second component/first component) of 0.0001 or more and 0.004 or less:
- first component:
- copper, and
- second component:
- one kind selected from the group consisting of elements that are elements belonging to Groups 9 to 13 in the fourth to sixth periods of the periodic table, except copper.
A catalyst used for a method for producing a Guerbet alcohol, comprising a first component and a second component below, having a molar ratio of the second component with respect to the first component (second component/first component) of 0.0001 or more and 0.004 or less:
- first component:
- copper, and
- second component:
- gallium (Ga), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), or platinum (Pt).
