(57) [Summary] (Modified) [Structure] Ester to be reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst and a carboxylic acid in an aromatic solvent containing an ether compound of the general formula 1 or 2 when esterifying a polyhydric alcohol. Method. R1- (OCH 2 CH 2) m -OR2 (1) (R1, R2 is a lower alkyl group, m represents a natural number of 1 to 10.) (N represents a natural number of 2 to 10.) [Effect] By providing a catalyst system in which a polyhydric alcohol is easily dissolved, a desired polyhydric alcohol ester can be produced in a short time in a high yield. |
