Process for producing ether compound

摘要

The present invention provides the following process for producing and the like, which enables the production of an ether compound, which is useful for chemical amplification type resist compositions, synthetic intermediates of pharmaceuticals, paints, or the like, with less side reaction and in high yield. A process for producing an ether compound having a group represented by the general formula (II) wherein R¹, R² and R³ may be the same or different, and represent substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl or substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl, or R¹ and R² form cycloalkyl together with an adjacent carbon atom, which comprises allowing a compound having a hydroxyl group (including a carboxyl group) to react with an alkenyl ether represented by the general formula (I) wherein R¹, R² and R³ have the same significances as defined above respectively.
