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).
