Method for producing n-propyl acetate and method for producing allyl acetate

A method for producing n-propyl acetate, comprising:

• a first oil-water separation process of separating a raw material liquid containing allyl acetate, water and acetic acid into an oily phase (A) and an aqueous phase (A);
• an extraction-separation process of subjecting the oily phase (A) to an extraction operation using water as an extraction solvent and separating the extract into an oily phase (B) containing allyl acetate as a main component and an aqueous phase (B) containing water as a main component;
• a first distillation process of distilling the oily phase (B) to obtain a distillate (X) containing allyl acetate as a main component;
• a second oil-water separation process of separating the distillate (X) into an oily phase (C) and an aqueous phase (C);
• a second distillation process of distilling the oily phase (C) to obtain a distillate (Y) containing allyl acetate as a main component;
• and
• a hydrogenation process of subjecting the distillate(Y) to a hydrogenation reaction,
• wherein the concentration of water (by mass) in distillate (Y) for use in the hydrogenation reaction is 100 ppm or less.
