An oxygen-absorbing compound has oxygen-absorbing properties and generates less odor. An oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition and a coating agent composition are produced using the oxygen-absorbing compound. The adhesive composition is used for forming an adhesive layer in a laminate for a packaging material, generates less odor, absorbs oxygen in a packaging bag or a packaging container to prevent the deterioration of a content in the packaging bag or the packaging container, and has an excellent balance among adhesion strength, the amount of generated odor and oxygen adsorption properties. The coating agent composition forms a coating layer for the surface of the laminate for a packaging material, generates less odor, and absorbs oxygen penetrating through the laminate or oxygen in a packaging bag or container. The oxygen-absorbing compound has one or two or more unsaturated five-membered rings that have a carbon-carbon double bond.
