Abstract: A small-pore zeolite that is modified with phosphorus, is excellent in hydrothermal durability, and has an 8-membered oxygen ring structure. The 8-membered oxygen ring structure is CHA, AEI, and AFX. The small-pore zeolite incudes at least an aluminum element, a silica element, a phosphorus element, wherein the phosphorus element is defined by expression (1), and the small-pore zeolite has an 8-membered oxygen ring structure being of CHA, AEI, or AFX. The phosphorus element that modifies the zeolite is unevenly distributed and richly contained on the surface layer side of the zeolite. A method for producing a phosphorus element-containing zeolite.

Abstract: The present invention provides, for example, a compound represented by formula (1), or a salt thereof: wherein R1 to R4 are each independently an alkyl group.

Abstract: Provided is a catalyst for amide compound hydrogenation characterized in that rhodium and molybdenum are supported on hydroxyapatite, the catalyst for amide compound hydrogenation providing a catalyst that can promote a reduction reaction that converts an amide compound into an amine compound, can be used under moderate conditions, and has durability that allows repeated use thereof while retaining high activity. Also provided is a method for producing an amine compound, the method being characterized by including bringing an amide compound into contact with the catalyst for amide compound hydrogenation to cause hydrogenation, thereby producing an amine compound.
