METHOD FOR PRODUCING COMPOSITION DERIVED FROM ESTER COMPOUND

To provide a method for producing a composition derived from an ester compound useful as a raw material such as a polyester.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing a composition derived from an ester compound which is composed of an ester compound represented by the following formula (3), carboxylic acid derived from the ester compound and an alcohol compound or the like by reacting a ketone compound represented by the following formula (1), a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide and a metal compound such as tin tetrachloride in an organic solvent such as trifluoro-ethanol represented by R-OH. [Rand Reach independently represents H or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; Rand Rmay be bonded together to form a ring.]SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】ポリエステル等の原料として有用なエステル化合物由来の組成物の製造方法の提供。【解決手段】下式（１）で示されるケトン化合物と、過酸化水素等の過酸化物と、四塩化スズ等の金属化合物とを、Ｒ３−ＯＨで表わされるトリフルオロエタノール等の有機溶媒中で反応させる、下式（３）で示されるエステル化合物、該エステル化合物由来のカルボン酸及びアルコール化合物等からなる、エステル化合物由来の組成物の製造方法。［Ｒ１及びＲ２は、各々独立にＨ又はＣ１〜８アルキル基；Ｒ１及びＲ２が結合して、環を形成してもよい］【選択図】なし
