PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing linalyl acetate by reacting linalool with ketene in the presence of a catalyst, capable of producing the linalyl acetate in remarkably good yield, space time yield and purity advantageously in laboratory and industrial scales, while avoiding the defects of known methods. SOLUTION: This method for producing an acetate ester comprises reacting an organic compound having one or more hydroxyl groups with ketene in the presence of a catalyst. Therein, the reaction is carried out by reacting the organic compound with the ketene in a molar amount approximately coincident with the number of the hydroxyl groups existing in the organic compound in the presence of a carboxylic acid zinc salt or a zinc compound forming zinc acetate under the reaction conditions with vigorous stirring.
