Abstract
In the presence of a catalyst and a cycloalkane compound represented by formula (3): wherein R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 are the same or different and each is a halogen atom, an alkyl group, or a fluoroalkyl group; an alkene compound represented by formula (2): wherein X1, X2, R1, and R2 are as defined above; is reacted with a hydrogen-containing gas to hydrogenate the alkene compound represented by formula (2), whereby an alkane compound represented by R1CHX1CHX2R2, wherein X1 and X2 are the same or different and each is a halogen atom, and R1 and R2 are the same or different and each is an alkyl group or a fluoroalkyl group; can be synthesized in such a manner that (S), (R)-isomer, (R), (R)-isomer, and (S), (S)-isomer are co-produced.
Claims2
A composition comprising 3 alkane compounds represented by formulas (1A), (1B), and (1C):
- wherein
- X1 and X2 are the same or different and each is a halogen atom, and
- R1 and R2 are the same or different and each is an alkyl group or a fluoroalkyl group;
- and
- the alkane compound represented by formula (1A) being contained in an amount of 20 to 80 mol %,
- the alkane compound represented by formula (1B) being contained in an amount of 10 to 40 mol %, and
- the alkane compound represented by formula (1C) being contained in an amount of 10 to 40 mol %,
- based on the total amount of the composition, which is taken as 100 mol %.
