A process for producing a fluorinated ester through a small number of steps, is presented. The process for producing a fluorinated ester, comprises a transesterification step in which R<AF>-COOCF2-R<AF> and R<A>-CH2OH are subjected to a transesterification reaction to obtain R<AF>-COOCH2-R<A>, and a fluorination step in which the obtained compound is fluorinated to obtain a reaction product containing R<AF>-COOCF2-R<AF>. Here, in the formulae, R<A> is a monovalent organic group, and R<AF> is the same group as R<A> or a monovalent organic group obtained by fluorination of R<A>. |
