PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing a compound which has an E-olefin structure and is useful as a production intermediate and a raw material for a chemical product such as medicine, agricultural chemicals, liquid crystal material.SOLUTION: Arylsulfinic acid is caused to act on a composition containing an E-olefin derivative and a Z-olefin derivative under heating to produce a compound in which a ratio of the E-olefin derivative in the olefin derivative is 80 mass% or more, thereby a compound having higher ratio of the E-olefin derivative to the Z-olefin derivative (E body/Z body) is obtained, so that the targeting E-olefin derivative with higher percentage than that by conventional methods is obtained.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
