Patent ID: 6872846

Claim:
A process for producing a tertiary alcohol ester, comprising a step of allowing a carboxylic acid derivative represented by the formula (1): wherein ring Z is a monocyclic or polycyclic non-aromatic or aromatic ring, and R 1 is a halogen atom or a group represented by the formula (2): —OR (2) wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group, to react with an organometallic compound represented by the formula (3): R 2 -M (3) wherein R 2 is a hydrocarbon group, and M is a metallic atom which may have a ligand, or the formula (4): -MgY (4) wherein Y is a halogen atom, and a carboxylic acid halide represented by the formula (5): wherein R 3 is a hydrocarbon group or a heterocyclic group, X is a halogen atom, to yield the tertiary alcohol ester represented by the formula (6): wherein Z, R 2 and R 3 have the same meanings as defined above.
