Method for producing compound with carbonyl group by using ruthenium carbonyl complex having tridentate ligand as dehydrogenation oxidation catalyst

A method for producing a compound having a carbonyl group by dehydrogenation oxidation of a reacting compound in the presence of a dehydrogenation oxidation catalyst which comprises the ruthenium carbonyl complex represented by the following general formula (21)

• RuXY(CO)(L) (21)
• (in the formula, X and Y may be the same or different from each other and each represents an anionic ligand and L represents a tridentate aminodiphosphine ligand represented by the following general formula (22)
• (in the formula, R1, R2, R3, and R4 may be the same or different from one another and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, an alkyloxy group, a cycloalkyloxy group, an aryloxy group, an aralkyloxy group, a heterocyclic group, or a substituted amino group, the R1 and R2 and/or R3 and R4 may be linked together to form a ring with an adjacent phosphorus atom, the alkyl group, the cycloalkyl group, the aryl group, the aralkyl group, the alkyloxy group, the cycloalkyloxy group, the aryloxy group, the aralkyloxy group, the heterocyclic group, and the substituted amino group may have a substituent group, Q1 and Q2 may be the same or different from each other and each represents a divalent alkylene group that may have a substituent group, a divalent cycloalkylene group that may have a substituent group, or a divalent aralkylene group that may have a substituent group)).
