METHOD FOR PRODUCING LACTONE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a lactone in high yield under mild conditions in reducing an acid anhydride raw material compound having a specific structure. SOLUTION: This method for producing the lactone comprises adding a primary alcohol and/or a secondary alcohol to the reaction system in reducing the acid anhydride derived from a norbornenecarboxylic acid derivative with the specific structure.
