The present invention provides a method for producing industrially useful fluorine-containing
compounds such as a fluorinated ester compound and an acid fluoride compound.
Namely, the present invention resides in a method for producing a fluorinated
ester compound, which comprises fluorinating an ester compound which is an ester
of a compound having hydroxyl group(s) with a compound having acyl fluoride group(s)
and which has a structure which can be fluorinated, in a liquid phase to produce
a fluorinated ester compound, wherein the fluorination is carried out in the form
of a liquid mixture of the ester compound and the compound having acyl fluoride group(s).
