| abstract |
The present invention provides a production method for an α,β-unsaturated acid ester or an α-haloester, the method being capable of producing the α,β-unsaturated acid ester or α-haloester through a few steps. The method of the present invention, which is for producing a compound represented by the formula CH 2 =CRC(O)OQ, comprises reacting a compound represented by CH 3 C(O)R, CHX 3 , and a compound represented by the formula QOH in the presence of an organic base containing a nitrogen atom. In the formulae, R represents a C 1-10 alkyl or aryl group, a C 1-10 hetero-atom-containing alkyl or aryl group, or a hydrogen atom, X represents a halogen atom, and Q represents a C 1-20 monovalent organic group. |
