A method for producing an aromatic aminomethyl, comprising hydrogenating an aromatic nitrile in a mixed solvent comprising a hydrocarbon solvent and a polar organic solvent having a solubility parameter (SP value) of 10 or more in the presence of a quaternary ammonium compound and a hydrogenation catalyst.

Method for producing aromatic aminomethyl

A method for producing tricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane-2-carboxylate according to the present invention is a method for producing tricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane-2-carboxylate, containing reacting tricyclo[5.2.1.0]deca-3-ene in a dilute solution containing the tricyclo[5.2.1.0]deca-3-ene with carbon monoxide in the presence of an acid catalyst, followed by reaction with an alcohol, wherein the dilute solution contains 100 parts by mass or more of a tricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane isomer mixture based on 100 parts by mass of the tricyclo[5.2.1.0]deca-3-ene, the tricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane isomer mixture contains endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane (Endo form of TCD) and exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane (Exo form of TCD), and a constituent ratio thereof (Endo form of TCD/Exo form of TCD) is greater than 1.0.
