Provided is a method for producing a halogenated carboxylic acid ester, which is a compound useful in organic synthesis, from an inexpensive raw material safely and in a simple manner. The production method according to the present invention is a method for producing a halogenated carboxylic acid ester represented by general formula (1), and comprises irradiating a mixture comprising a halo-carbon and/or a halogenated hydrocarbon and an alcohol with light in the presence of oxygen. (In general formula (1), X represents a halogen atom or a halogenated methyl group; and R represents a hydrocarbon group which may have a substituent and/or a hetero atom.) |
