Provided is a method for producing di-TMP by reacting n-butyl aldehyde (NBD), formaldehyde and a base, said method including a first step of reacting the NBD, formaldehyde (1) and a base (I) to obtain a reaction mixture solution containing trimethylolpropane (TMP), di-TMP and 2-ethyl-2-propenal (ECR); a second step of distilling the reaction mixture solution to recover the ECR therefrom; and a third step of sequentially adding the ECR recovered by distillation, and adding at least one of a base (II) and formaldehyde (2), to the reaction mixture solution from which the ECR has been recovered by distillation, and thereby allowing a reaction for production of the di-TMP to proceed gradually, in which TMP is added in any one of the first to third steps or in plural steps of the first to third steps. |
