PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ETHER COMPOUND

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for producing an ether compound in a simplified, efficient manner, including the step of reacting a hydroxyl group-containing compound with an epoxy compound in the presence of an oxide of a metal of Group 4 of the Periodic Table on which a sulfate ion is supported, wherein a sum of a diffraction intensity of a (111) crystal lattice plane and a diffraction intensity of a (-111) crystal lattice place of the metal oxide is 2000 cps or larger as measured by subjecting the metal oxide to powder X-ray diffraction analysis.
