Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing 3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate which comprises reacting 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol with acetic anhydride in the presence of an inorganic base catalyst and a method for producing purified 3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate which comprises subjecting crude 3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate to a step (A) of contacting it with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydrogen sulfite, or a step (B) of contacting it with an aqueous solution of a base, or both steps (A) and (B).
