Provided are: a novel carboxylic acid ester compound useful as a fragrant component or a compound fragrance element; a method for producing the carboxylic acid ester compound; and a fragrant composition containing the carboxylic acid ester compound. Further provided is an acyl fluoride of 2,4-dimethyl-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane compound and an ester thereof, which are useful as the starting material (including an intermediate in organic synthesis) of a drug, an agricultural chemical, a fragrance, a functional resin, an optically functional material, an electronically functional material, and the like. The carboxylic acid ester compound is represented by general formula (1). (In the formula, one of R1 and R2 is a methyl group and the other of R1 and R2 is -COOR, R being an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms.) |
