Method for producing divinyl ether compound having alkylene skeleton

Abstract

A method can produce a divinyl ether compound having an alkylene skeleton from an alkanediol and acetylene at a rapid production rate and a high reaction yield. In the production method, a compound of formula (1) wherein R1 is an alkylene group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, may be reacted with acetylene in the presence of an alkali metal catalyst to produce a compound of formula (2) and the reaction may be performed in the absence of a solvent.
