According to the present invention, there is provided a process for producing a thiocarboxylic ester by reacting a compound represented by the following formula (I), a carboxylic acid and a thiol in the presence of a catalyst containing 1 or more kinds of group IIA metal compounds. The reaction operation of the production method is simple and convenient, and the method has little burden on the environment and human body, and can obtain thiocarboxylate ester with high yield by catalysis even at normal temperature and normal temperature (25 ℃,1 atm). [ in the formula (I), R 1 And R 2 Each independently represents a C1-20 hydrocarbon group]。 |
