According to the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a carboxylic acid thioester in which a compound represented by the following formula (I), a carboxylic acid and a thiol are reacted in the presence of a catalyst containing one or more Group 2 metal compounds. Provided. In this production method, the reaction operation is simple, the load on the environment and the human body is small, and the carboxylic acid thioester is catalytically obtained in a high yield even under normal temperature and normal pressure (25 ° C., 1 atm). This is a manufacturing method that makes it possible. [In Formula (I), R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. ] |
