A method for producing a saturated cyclic ether from a fatty acid ester of an alpha, delta-diol stably in high yield over a long period of time, is presented. It is a process for producing a saturated cyclic ether, which comprises reacting a mono- and/or di-fatty acid ester of an alpha, delta-diol in the presence of a solid acid catalyst, wherein the reaction is carried out in such a state that at least 50 mol % of the fatty acid ester supplied to the reaction system is vaporized. |
