Propylene glycol monomethyl ether propionate obtained according to the present application has a boiling point of 160.5° C., while other reactants and products having respective boiling point of 120° C. for PGM, 140.8° C. for propionic acid and 100° C. for water. It is apparently easier to rectify this solution comparing the respective boiling point of 146° C. for propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, 118° C. for acetic acid and 120° C. for PGM as in the conventional case. This is one of the effects achieved by the process according to the present invention.
