<p>Disclosed is a method by which various fluorine-containing carbonate compounds can be freely produced with high yield without using phosgene and without by-producing hydrogen chloride. Specifically disclosed is a method wherein a fluorine-containing compound having a carbonate bond is obtained by reacting a compound (1) shown below with a fluorine-containing compound having at least one OH group. In the formula (1) below, X1-X6 respectively represent a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; at least one of X1-X3 represents a halogen atom; and at least one of X4-X6 represents a halogen atom.</p>
